The Story So Far’s second full-length album brings to mind the days of detention, uniforms and crappy cafeteria food.

Basically, it panders to high school kids in the heyday of their teen angst phase, not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with that.

Pop punk has its redeeming moments and qualities, but none of them can be found here.“What You Don’t See” just feels lazy, generic and trite. Not a single song sticks out from the others.

They all just sort of blend together into an indiscernible mash of vanilla pop punk.The lyrical work can be clever at times, but it’s lost in a wash of humdrum guitar riffs and so-so drum solos.

Bands like Four Year Strong and A Day to Remember mastered this genre years ago, and The Story So Far should have taken note before crafting this insipid album.
