User Album Review
Upon the album reaching the finish line, the time comes to ask an important question; is it better than Life's Not Out to Get You? Well, the album offers only a handful of songs that can compete with that album in terms of composition and execution. Not surprisingly, those tracks are album highlights and to be fair, they are among the best cuts this group has ever put out. But the album does experience some brief growing pains. This veer into poppier, alt rock stylings wasn't going to be easy, especially when factoring in the increased melancholy in the lyrical content. When the time comes to look back on this album, it's safe to say history will judge Life's Not Out to Get You far more favorably. But, even so, this is still a great album that fully cements Neck Deep as genre leaders and for that, The Peace and the Panic cannot be called anything else but a success. --- Reviewed by sputnikmusic.com
