Macseal - Permanent Repeat

B- Tier

Macseal's metamorphosis from Midwest Emo band with strong melodies to Power Pop band with strong Emo ties is complete on their sophomore LP. Regardless, the acoustic guitar-laden tracks have a bright quality to them and feature subtle intricacies for curious ears. This album is perhaps the catchiest one of the year on average, each track possessing some earworm melody or other. However, with the shedding of their old musical personality, the songs tend to have shallow emotional resonance, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give this one a shot.
