Ever since we heard Young Adult Friction for the first time we knew this was a love story. When the band hit Stockholm for the first time about two years ago we were given thirty tickets for an on-site competition, apparently the venue didn't sold much since nobody knew about them then. Things do change, luckily, at Flow the band played in front of 3000 people and who doesn't know about songs like Higher Than The Stars, Belong and The Tenure Itch today?

"Even with their shiny makeover, the most noticeable alteration is that Kip Berman is no longer just a lead singer-- he's a frontman as well. While maintaining his soft, lisping lilt, he's now much higher in the mix, giving the singalong hooks of "Heart in Your Heartbreak" and "Too Tough" an underlined emphasis. His lyrics are also more inclusive; he's dropping the puns and arch prose of its predecessor for magnanimous songs about you, we, and us. But this newfound stress on speaking directly to the listener doesn't come without its awkward growth spurts: It's worth questioning whether striving for the perfect chorus at times comes at the cost of fully thought-out verses. The group's momentum also gets occasionally jarred by a stray lyric that can be overreaching or undercooked." Pitchfork
