Second release from Lakeview, this kind of shows a different style also. The acoustic songs were a great touch I mean who isn't a fan of acoustic songs?  In all honestly the Christmas song was funny, i can tell it was made to be a joke and add some humor to the album, the part where the one singer gets mad and he shows it that's one thing that stands out about this bad they show the emotion and make it sound just like that emotion. The actual songs have that post-hardcore feelings to them, i can really say this band is good at adding many genres into one song kind of gives it more feel to it and worth listening too. The lyrics on this album are pretty sweet, the song "Who Called The Strippers? Thanks!" at the end they thank everyone for believing in them, i have no clue if that's the point of it or just lyrics, but it that's the point of those that's a really good touch to the song. The main songs that stand out on this album. Cody, You're Not In The Band Bro! This City Won't Be The Same Without You (acoustic) and Didn't read my list? (Christmas Acoustic). I think ending with Didn't Read my List? Was a great move, it ends on a funny side note. This album is worth buying and listening to it over and over again, it won't ever get old or boring.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocals are pretty good, the clean vocals on the acoustic songs are the best seriously they show the emotion to them, when he gets mad on "Didn't Read My List" you can clearly hear that.
Screams: The screamers style is a bit different then the first release, louder and heavier, but still fits with the flow.
Instruments: The only really soft songs are the acoustic songs the other songs have that mixture to them soft to hard and the flow with the vocals.

Rating: 9/10
