School Boy Humor
Vagrant
February 24, 2009

I can't help but think of Taking Back Sunday when I listen to School Boy Humor, except School Boy Humor adds an electric flair and can sometimes sound second rate. Thats not saying that their songs are bad; its just been heard over and over and over and over. BUT, there is still a market out there for bands playing super sugary pop rock with duel vocals and a catchier than Hell demeaner.

This is an album that I neither love nor hate. I listen to it and find some moments that I really enjoy, but find it very middle of the road as a whole. Like all albums, some will love it and some will hate it. Their sound is geared directly towards fans of Taking Back Sunday, All American Rejects and most of the Fearless Records' roster (but much more enjoyable), and those people are going to eat these guys up, as might some radio stations.
