Things have been going pretty fast for New Jersey’s Man Overboard and they owe it all to themselves. Still flying the ‘defend pop punk’ banner with pride, they recently released their debut full-length to follow up a bunch of EPs and a whole bunch of shows. And it’s a winner… okay, the lyrics are a bit too cute at times but other than that there’s really not a whole lot to bitch about.
This being a pop-punk album, the songs are all about girls and relationships (falling apart mostly) and come with just the right amount of unadulterated energy and bigass hooks. These guys stick to the formula and show everyone that it still works. It’s hard to pick a favorite come to think about it… “Real Talk” is just solid all over the board and takes you right back to the glory days of pop-punk.
Score: 9 out of 10
