Reviewing this album is an exercise in objectivity on my part and I intend to give it my best shot. I think the first thing that I should say to try and defend Metro Station, is try to ignore their previous connections with the Hannah Montana empire. That is definitely a good starting place for trying to think of their good points.

This album, in terms of sound and feel is a bit emo-pop, targeted at a younger audience than the serious emo of our time. This younger audience I am referring to is made up almost entirely of teenage girls I am certain of it. When listening to this album and trying to review this band, I am trying not to liken them with Bros and the boy-pop bands of my youth. This is impossible because Metro Station are exactly that: a modern day Bros, raised to greatness through Myspace hype than actual musical greatness. But hey, who am I to judge!

The lyrics are pretty basic teenage romantic that has no real sincerity about them but I think they would suffice to gain masses of crooning teenage girls arguing that the lyrics ARE meaningful to them. Whatever.

Other than the fact that they have really trendy haircuts, their keyboard guy Blake Healy is actually pretty good. I wonder how this band would really have any credibility if it wasnt for him. He is responsible for the bouncy synthesized beats of their chart single 'Shake it' (and even I am embarressed to say that this song is irritatingly catchy-beware).

Summary: Dont worry, like Hannah Montana, they will eventually grow up and f*ck off!
