Calendar Days Review

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this album sooner, but I must save the viewers from the bad reviews!!!

This albums is fun, catchy, and happy music in a punk world where depressing and upsetting emo reigns supreme. Avery has the capabilities, the voice, and the style of a typical emo band, but he delivers something that is truly needed these days. His songs, are simple, up-beat, and fun, and they make you feel good. He exposes love in its infancy for what it truly is, and what it truly should be. Before the heartbreak and complacency, love is fun, crushes are real, and life is good. This is what "Calendar Days" is all about.

For those who would rather listen to a singer who whines about his love life, hoping fans will commiserate (I would know, I'm guilty of it too) they may find The Rocket Summer immature and unbearable. But for those who are not so far removed from the happier moments of their life, where things seem to pick up and come together, then this album is for you!
