The Wonder Years - Sister Cities - Emo / Pop Punk / Alternative Rock - Album Review

I got an ad for this album on this video

[@iam9991000]

Jackson The Epic same here.

I'd never heard of the band before, but gave it a go after seeing a review on ARTV's channel and loved it. Personally, it's my album of the year so far. I do prefer the Deaf Havana effort from last year though, albeit still 2 fantastic albums.

[@gordonstearns2232]

No Closer to Heaven was one of my favorite albums of 2015, and as a fan of pop punk, I think TWY are probably the most innovative band making music in the genre right now. So glad to see you cover and enjoy this album.

[@zachreeder8902]

As a long time Wonder Years fan this album is fucking phenomenal, I'm thoroughly convinced that this band can do no wrong.

[@mywaterparksromance1822]

I got an ad for the album and watched it all I love the wonder years

[@mywaterparksromance1822]

I also love this album it's too great

[@bag00nga]

Great to see this review, literally just back from seeing the band live - good review!

[@GlennDavidsonMusic]

I'm so glad you spoke about the mixing of the vocals, it's my only issue with this album! Soupy's vocals should be forefront yet they get so washed out in this production.

[@calebt9392]

Thanks for covering this I've been a fan of them since suburbia

[@carterwatson1715]

Never heard of the wonder years I’m gonna check these guys out. Super cool review I know ur not a fan of that genre of white guy with acoustic guitar but I hope with my first debut album I can change ur view on that genre

[@Zach-lc6bs]

This is the kind of album I didn't know I needed until I pressed play for the first time. I love this album, also give it an 8/10. Recently bought the CD and the thrill I get from singing along to those powerful hooks is such an amazing feeling.

[@ben7201]

Thank you for covering this record!

[@liamcarmody4217]

Patrons, please add Human by Steve Angello to the schedule

[@rafacarvalho1704]

Please do a Kylie Minogue Golden album review

[@pineconerudy1519]

I’m trying so hard to love this album but I really don’t like how it sounds. Probably my least favorite TWY album. Don’t get me wrong I love everything they make but this one was the weakest.

[@jessebrown7856]

This is my personal favorite album from the band. It's a 9/10 for me, with "When The Blue Finally Came" being the only song I can see myself skipping on the record, despite it still being a good song. This record is the most passionate I've seen from the band and is, in my opinion, their most consistent. They're the best pop punk band that doesn't play pop punk music.

[@pinetree7434]

The Wonder Years are my favorite band but I was a little let down by this album, NCTH had a great blend of soft and loud, this album just didn't do it for me. When I heard the first single for this album i was liking it, just disappointed they didn't pull another suburbia :(

[@Zack-un6pc]

Your channel should be called “Discount ARTV” You’re lowering your voice. It’s kinda obvious.

[@cookygaming1238]

I can’t stand this album and I find it way over dramatic and way to spacey and I couldn’t even sit through it
