The past few albums have been moving from garage punk to pop punk. It has left a few fans pretty disgruntled but doesn't every band own the right to change they're own sound? Well the good part is that they do the punk pop style very well! Not only did they move around style wise but they've been jumping around record labels from Tooth n Nail to A&M and over to interscope. They finally came back to their first label “Tooth and Nail Records” and boy were they meant to be together.

Secret Weapon sounds like a combination of Green Day, Relient K and The Offspring.
It's great all around. It starts off with the song Secret Weapon and it rocks! Something I like to hear is an album start off strong and finish strong and they really pulled it off ending the album with “Tightly Wound”.

If I wasn't so attached to my cars A/C I would roll down my windows and blast this album ;-)
If your cars air conditioner is broken and you love rolling those windows down and blasting summer time music... this album is a smash hit for you!
