Wow, there is not a lot that leaves me speechless, but this album has done that. The improvements from the last album to this one are massive. The music has certainly matured as has the voices of both Nat and Alex. The lyrics have more depth and complexity and this album does not have songs like "Banana Smoothie" and "Taxi Cab" which adds to its strength. As for more expectations, this album has surpassed what I could have hoped for. I was expecting something in between this album and the last. It is still difficult to believe that this is the same group.

I Don't want to go to School

The improvement was between albums was noted almost immediately, and although not the best song, it is a load better than almost all of those on the first album. This song would be the most rock (if that makes much sense) on that the band has released. It's a good song, and it is true to almost everyone. 3.5/5

Eventually

Wow, what do I say about this song, it is right up there with the others in the album. It's catchy, it has depth, it's easy to listen to, and fits in with the other songs. It is a bit repetitive, but not in an annoying way. 3.5/5

Mystery Girl

Along side the other love songs on this album, this is bearable to listen to. It's upbeat and it's catchy, two things that are contagious and is really what makes the song work. 3/5

I'll Do Anything

Again Wow, this is one of my favourite songs on the album, although there is not a lot that separates top from bottom. It's catchy, it's simple, but it is performed well. 4.0/5

I've Got a Question

This song is different, especially with its opening. That said it is no less likeable than the rest of the album, and it still fits in well. Not quite as catchy as some of the others songs, but it still shows the improvement over the first album. 3.0/5

Body I Occupy

This is another of my favourite songs of the album, It's upbeat, it's catchy, it's simple and yet has some complexity about it at the same time, wow it's hard to find new things to say, so I don't sound like a broken record. 4.0

Why

Wow, there's that word again. For the first album my favourite song was "nowhere", this album it is this song. This is the song that strikes home with me. Whether intended or not, this song can be interpreted in so many different ways, and for me, it says everything I would like to say to my dad, if I wasn't such a coward. It has a simple depth like "Nowhere". 5/5

If you can make it Through the Rain

This is another song with that simple depth and can be interpreted a number of different ways. Yet, it does have the feel to it, to be one of the top songs of the album, still loads better than most of the first. 3.0/5

Proof of my Love

It is hard to fault this album, the improvements alone make it hard to see what's bad about it, this song is not what's bad about, but another example of how far they have come, and yet how far they still can go. 3.5/5

Great Trip

In regards to the theme of the song, this is the most different, it is very simple, yet it still manages to show the distance their music has come, it still manages to be right up their with the rest of the songs. 3.5

Three is Enough

Again Wow. Firstly what would I call this songs genre. From where I sit I sat it is R&B, go figure. This song along side "Why" shows how far Alex has come both vocally and with his lyrics and music since "I Could Be". It's catchy, it has a good beat to it, it's simple, a good combination in my books. 4.0/5

Everybody's Cried at least Once

This song, is simple, easy to listen, yet I felt that there could have been more to it. This is another repetitive song, but not annoyingly so. 3.0

Tall Girls, Short Girls... You

This song is straight to the point, it's blunt, it's contagious, it's a nice beat, what more is their to say. 3.5/5

Changing

As I have said, there is not a lot between the best song and the worst song of the album. For the record the song is strong both in regards lyrics and music. However there were a few moments in the song where Alex's vocals just didn't work, that was the only thing that kept it just below the others. Has they been right I would have hated to decided which song, was the worst.

Conclusion
All in All, Wow. The songs are a lot better than they were in the first album, their vocals have both matured well, although their it still a lot more to go. And yet there is still room for a lot more improvement which is well within their potential. A solid 4/5 for the album.

I bought this cd for my daughter and she loved. I don't like the title of the cd but she said it is a joke mom, the boys don't want to go to school on vacation time. So, I agree.
