This is a fairly good album. There are no songs on the disc that I dislike. However, on a whole, There Will Be Blood Tonight is more exciting, and thus Gifted Program pales by comparison.

The Divorce's "Gifted Program" is a decent enough indie rock/emo album, but it's definitely not something you should rush out and get. It's pretty cheesy at times and I think I'd qualify it has a guilty pleasure. The singer definitely helps my case (he's not that good or likable, but he's not horrible either). Lyrically the songs try to be interesting, but they pretty much fail at this. There aren't any catchy or memorable lyrics here, either. I'm going to make the claim that the best songs here are "Yes!" and the slightly anthemic and emotional "Birds = Magic". The rest are decent, but nowhere near as good as these two. Indie rock and emo fans might like some of this, but I couldn't really recommend it. Overall it's just a "decent" album.

Highlights include:
"Yes!"
"Cash Machine" (sort of)
"Birds = Magic"
"Doctors & Friends"
"Air Traffic Control"
"Deny! Deny! Deny!" (kind of)
"Houes in Hurricanes" (the drums are pretty cool in the beginning)
"Be Quiet"
