I was so excited for I have a ton of respect for "Black Lines" when the release date was finalized I preordered this album. I have no regret in doing so. Mayday Parade informed fans that they were mixing it up while still keeping the same lyrics everyone loves and that's exactly what they did. Black Lines does not abandon their roots such as "A Lesson in Romantics" they're building on what they've learned in the past years just as the fans are growing with them. Black Lines is worth purchasing if you want to grow with Mayday Parade
