The last I heard from Two Day Rule was the Had A Good Thing single which if my memory serves me correct, was rather dire. Always generous in the second chance department however, I reserved my judgement until I'd had a listen to this album, and while I wouldn't say I love it, it did surprise me. The opening 2 tracks on this album Odds & Ends and No Doubt are tuneful pop-punk numbers that wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack to an American teen movie although I wouldn't play it myself. The album slides downhill from here though as you soon get annoyed by the "boy/girl vocals over punk-riffing" formula. It seems to me that Two Day Rule make sugary-punk-pop which is too sweet for punks, and too punk for pop fans. For anyone outside those camps, I can't but feel it will get annoying after a while.
