From what I've heard on this CD, it is a massive improvement upon Mmhmm, but as I have been a fan for a long time, I don't care for their new, mature, evolved sound.

I don't think I'm gonna buy this CD however (Although I do have all of RK's other LPs) because I way prefer their earlier albums. Discuss.

It doesn't match the quality of older albums, but still good. (I mean, it's Relient K)

When you call anything with harsh vocals "screamo", it makes as much sense as calling anything with distorted guitar "heavy metal".

That's what disappoints me.

I like it. Especially "Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care".

I don't like what I've heard from it.

If you don't like their mature sound then you probably won't like it; cause it's just that: more mature.
Also, I found "Deathbed" quite enjoyable.

I liked MmHmm, but the songs I heard sound exactly like what I've heard off that one, only less interesting.

I don't think that there sound is more mature; I think they are out of their element a little. They used to be a fun, exciting, punky band. Now, they're almost indie, or easy listening. I do like this album, but it is not the same Relient K that inspired me to be a musician.

I think they just matured. Period.

This is easily their best album.

I especially love "Come Right Out and Say It", "Forgiven", "Must Have Done Something Right", "Give", "I'm Taking You With Me" and "Faking My Own Suicide".
