-The Jester sounds like House of Wolves by My Chemical Romance -With Me sounds like Only One by Yellowcard -King of Contradiction is kind of like Welcome to Hell -Best of Me sounds like The Reason by Hoobastank and Hate Me by Blue October It's not always the most original album, but I enjoy it nonetheless lol.
Yeah I think for me, I loved each of their albums more than the last. They were getting heavier and in my opinion better. Then this dropped and it was a lot softer which made me a little disappointed (unfairly). And then when they started repeating melodies I was just like oh okay so you're out of ideas then. I think the whole "this is their American Idiot" press that preceded the album built my hopes up too high as well. American Idiot this ain't.
