Jersey's major label debut album is one that took a long journey to get to, and it was quite worth it. When you look at this album, it is your traditional punk album, but it has some pop punk elements to it which make the songs a little more catchy like some of the Anti-Flag songs are. These songs are quite good, and they certainly work with that riding the border of punk, which will gain more fans. When you look at this album and the recording quality of it, the album has a sort of dirty, raw vocal style to it, which helps them in the overall feel of the album. Looking at the music, it has a decent sound to it so thats also pretty good and the lyrics do have a meaningful, sometimes political view to them which works well also. 

If you are looking for a song to listen to, give "Saturday Night" a listen as this is the bands biggest hit and gives you sort of the feel for the album. This song is a little more poppy then the others.

 Jersey have done a great job on this album and we are hoping the label feels that way also. The only thing for this band to do is keep writing music just like this and they should go further. Listen to this album and follow the band. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
