"The theme to the album artwork is 'jumping off of the ground that is breaking beneath you. The idea is to inspire hope amongst the chaos that may be happening around you.' If the ground was breaking beneath your feet, your first reaction may be to run and jump to safety, and it's that moment where you are suspended in the air that I am focusing on. A still frame where you're not sure if the person is falling or flying. It's about freeing yourself from the things that are breaking or falling apart in your life, and inspiring a sense of hope from the desperation."
-Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Vic Fuentes

When I listen to this album, I can follow through the emotions each member puts into each song, but also that this album (their first with Fearless Records) was meant to be FUN. They just put all these ideas out there (musically), and just went with it, which obviously worked out because it's probably PTV's best work yet, and a huge improvement on their last two albums.
As far as the songs go, there are some meanings worth noting. "Match Into Water" brings about some debate on the true meaning. When I first heard it, my thought was immediate that the meaning of the song was about a boy who's girlfriend self-harms and is suicidal. However, upon asking, lead vocalist Vic Fuentes states that the song was a tribute to his ex-girlfriend who was struggling and just recovered from breast cancer. He says that it was his way of showing how proud he is of her.

"King For A Day" was originally written by Pierce The Veil and after being barraged by tweets that Kellin Quinn should do a song with the Pierce The Veil, they went into studio together and came out with this excellent song! It's basically about "when you've had enough and you want to take a stand for yourself."
The band has energy, and watching live recordings, especially from Warped Tour, are pretty amazing. You should have heard my dad and his rather rude jokes about PTV until I finally played him the music. Now he has been put in his place, though that does not stop him from calling Pierce the Veil: Pierce the Nose and Drink the Beer.
My favourite songs on this album are probably "Match Into Water," "Hell Above," "King For A Day," and "The First Punch." A great song, if you want one from a different album, would be "Caraphernalia," which also has a great YouTube video.

I have to admit that Fuentes's vocals are a bit out of the ordinary, but it works well with the music that we just can't complain.
This album is creative, fun, and totally worth listening to!
