I have been a fan of LSF since the very beginning when they released the Monday 12am acoustic ep which I got from the band personally by writing a letter to them requesting it. This album truly serpasses all their recent albums both musically and lyrically right from the very first track until the end.

My favorite tracks include Hot House, Ready or Not, Memphis, Amy Racecar, and Octopussy. The guitar riffs in Hot House kinda reminds me of The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie era. Ready or Not could have just as well been a song from their last album or earlier as it has the same style. His voice and the music style in Memphis remind me of Jimmy Eat World but better. The reason I like Amy Racecar so much is because of the guitar solo during the middle of the song. My favorite part of LSF has always been the guitars. Octopussy is my favorite song off the album. I feel it was beautifully written and the drawn out melody/instrumental towards the end was just amazing.

Overall, I feel this band still has a lot more to offer and hopefully this is just the beginning. They are an extremely talented band and I can't wait to see them live as I have missed several appearances they had in my area in the past.

The boys did a great job putting this album together and I am really impressed at their growth and that they are able to keep their style throughout that growth. this album is a little more rocking than their other ones but the slow songs are still beautiful. I love it, great lyrics and music, steve's drumming is amazing as usual and the guys guitar style is as unique as ever. I highly recommend this purchase to anyone who is a long-time fan or who is discovering the band for the first time! amazing!

Just received my copy in the mail and I love it! I am having a hard time deciding my favorite song, I love them all! I have all of LSF's albums and this, once again, DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Nice to see a great group of guys getting a little well deserved recognition. You should definitely check this one out.

For reasons I can't completely pin down, The Theft reminds me of two bands: Yellowcard and The Buck Pets. Both are/were talented musicians producing radio-friendly alterna rock, and Long Since Forgotten are doing exactly the same. There's really nothing to dislike here, but also nothing to fall in love with, either. It's all decently written, well recorded, guitar-driven rock, but I just feel like I've heard it all before. They strike me as the band that was probably super popular at the local bar while in college, had a decent local fanbase, and was lucky enough to score a record deal. Unfortunately, I predict that their lack of originality is going to doom them to living up to their band name. No matter how listenable their tunes are, Long Since Forgotten aren't gonna go far based just on The Theft. Come back to us next year with something new, guys: you've clearly got the ability.
