The simple hooks kick off with the title track, "Maybe One Day." Like most of the album, it's centered on the girl that got away without the narrator ever getting the chance to tell her that he had feelings for her. I really pity anyone that can empathize with this, because to put it simply, you fucked up in one of the earliest life-changing events for you. Listen to this and resolve not to turn out with those regrets.
The first single "Standing All Alone" follows, and has an amazingly cool chorus. It's one of the view hopelessly romantic laments on the album, instead deflecting venom at those who value the opinions others have of them too much. I'd really get along with these guys.
The opening of the disc continues with the energetic whining, ranging from breakups, lost loves and the oft-revisited theme of the girl that got away. It's the usual material for pop-punks, but it's just done better here. Unfortunately, the album drops in the latter half, getting a little repetitive and losing the cutting edge of the lyrics. It never really recovers until "This Old Place," the eleventh and final track, another great song, this about falling back in love after the relationship has ended.
And then, the track has two minutes of silence stuck at the end, followed by - get this - A FEEDBACK CRESCENDO. Yeah, really fucking cool. Whoo, feel the excitment.

The 411 .::. Any fans of Gob, New Found Glory, Sum 41, or the countless bands that sound eerily like them will like this, because it sounds eerily like a mix of all three bands. Nothing groundbreaking, just some solid pop-punk.
