The album that I listened to the most in 2013. Most likely their best album from start to finish, and that really really is saying a lot. They know how to write great pop songs and no bones about it, they are one of the most talented groups to ever exist in my eyes. Every song is spectacular once again and so well crafted. Each song a little classic in its own right. I'm happy to give any props to the Spintonic family because they always go for pro! Self-produced and self-released, and they got it out there. I'm so glad this band is around. Long live The Spinto Band! "Oh we could take some time to make some reason of what I could get from this."
