In a music scene full of songs about rehab, sex, dissapointment all other sad and tragic events, Owl City comes as a breath of fresh air. With catchy melodies and soothing vocals Adam Young takes the listener on an incredible melodic odyssey which makes you want to tap your feet and move to the groove, within minutes you will find yourself smiling.The singles "fireflies" and "Hello Seattle" give an insight to the mood of the album, "Cave In" has a nice rhythmic loop which keeps up the upbeat groove og the song. The mellow tracks like "Vanilla Twilight" and "Meteor Shower" add to the variation of the album. To many owl city's lyrics may seem something right out of Enid Blyton books, but its the simplicity of the lyrics which add to the relaxing feel of the song, with no hidden or darker meanings these songs are meant to make u smile and get lost in Adam Young's wonderland. After hearing "Tidal Wave" you will find yourself wanting to put it on a loop and lie down.

well my rating for the album would be 4/5 starts
