Summary:
I'm not sure why, but I didn't like this album as a whole as much as Hollywood's Bleeding. However, it should still get a 3 out of 5. Breaking the rating down, I'd arbitrarily set this rating to 3.2 and set the rating of Hollywood's Bleeding to 3.6.

When picking my favorite song on the album, I had a bias towards "Better Now." After briefly listening to the songs which caught my attention, I stuck with that choice. However, I really liked the sound of "Rich & Sad" while feeling that I didn't like the lyrics. As such, I listened to it again with the lyrics pulled up. This changed my mind about the song and put it in the running against "Better Now." Ultimately, after listening to "Better Now" with the lyrics pulled up, I decide to pick "Rich & Sad" as my favorite song on the album.

Overall Rating: 3/5
Favorite Song: "Rich & Sad"
Second Favorite Song: "Better Now"
