Benevolent note to young bands: unless you play punk, don't put sixteen songs on your debut album. Even if you think they're all good. That's Hey Young Believer's main mistake, as most of the pure, peppy pop-rock songs are solid on their own - lead singer Lily Wolfson's classical training makes sure of it. Unfortunately, en masse their impact is blunted.

Did you even listen to the album? It sounds like you just glanced at the track list, skimmed their bio, and then dribbled out this little Hershey squirt of a review. God forbid you use your limited knowledge of music to make useful comparisons or say something insightful. I'm calling your editor.
