After four years, HelloGoodbye follows up with their sophomore effort and a lot has changed. They've comfortably transitioned from power pop into indie rock. The tracks on the first album were dripping with teenage angst and the splendors of new adolescent love. This work has more of an edge to it. Along with the more pronounced rock influence, there are themes of apprehension and overall the sound has matured. In fact, the change may be enough to divide the band's fan base. The power popping tweens that went loco over the first album, may find this work to be a little too progressive indie rock for their tastes. The much anticipated (by me) follow up to "Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!" offers much more substance. This is still a young band, experimenting with their sound and it would appear they are heading in the right direction.
