A Day To Remember’s ‘You’re Welcome’ is their blandest record to date

‘You’re Welcome’ is by far, the most disappointing ADTR record, filled to the brim with bland, generic lyrics, and unmemorable songs. The repetitive song structures make for a boring listen, not even halfway through. The record doesn’t add anything fresh to the band’s discography. Even though they changed their sound, their songwriting style has been applied before countless times. It feels as if there is nothing new from a  band that sets their genre’s standards.
