Essentially, this is what you would expect from the label mates of Fall Out Boy, namely big choruses and tight vocal harmonies. The Academy Is... deliver these, but add a touch of subtlety that keeps interest levels high throughout its 3-minute duration. Rapid switches of dynamics early in the track display both the huge guitar sound of Tim Conrad and Mike Carden, and the capability that this band has to invent something worth listening to.

By ending the track before it becomes repetitive, the listener is also left wanting to hear more. Plenty have tried and failed, but The Academy Is... may just have found a formula that works. One to watch out for.
