First listen.
Good first impression. This song, "I Dreamt We Spoke Again" has a great sound to it. Relatively upbeat and close enough to familiar sound, but new. Also a decent amount of vocals.
Had a good finish for which I bumped it from a "0" to a "1." ("Summer Years")
Second Listen.
Moved "When We Drive" from a "1" to a "2."

3: "I Dreamt We Spoke Again";
2: "When We Drive"; "Autumn Love"; "Near/Far";
1: "Summer Years";
0: "Your Hurricane"; "Northern Lights"; "You Moved Away"; "60 & Punk";
-1: "Gold Rush";

Summary:
In terms of actively listening to this album, I only enjoyed half of the tracks and was underwhelmed by the other half. I'm not sure if this was in part due to how excited I got by the album's first track, "I Dreamt We Spoke Again." In detail, upon hearing that track, I put in my mind that the entire album was going to produce the same level of excitement. Unfortunately, I was met with some disappointment as subsequent tracks failed to have the same effect.

Overall Rating: 3.4/5

After I finished listening to the Matt and Kim cover of "You Don't Own Me", "I Dreamt We Spoke Again" played and I decided to relisten to this album.
Upon listening to "Your Hurricane" I decided to move "Gold Rush" from a "2" to a "1".

3: "I Dreamt We Spoke Again"; "When We Drive";
2: "Summer Years"; "Your Hurricane"; "Autumn Love"; "You Moved Away";
1: "Gold Rush"; "Northern Lights"; "Near/Far";
0: "60 & Punk";

Summary:
This listen was more favorable than the last. Perhaps my mood had changed since then.
