Baltimore-based pop punk band, All Time Low, released its sixth studio album on April 3 and its sound is better than ever. Titled “Future Hearts,” it has an alluring appeal to old and new fans.

The album has a matured sound compared to its other albums, especially its second (and most popular) full length album, “So Wrong It’s Right.” It matches well with the band’s last release, “Don’t Panic” and features guest vocalists Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.

It is hard to pick some of the album’s best and worst tracks, seeing as this is one of the best records the band has put out in recent years. The opening track, “Satellite,” ropes you in for the ride and gives you something to get excited for. Listening to it, you just know the album will be good.

The first released single, “Something’s Gotta Give” sounds like it belongs on the band’s third album, “Nothing Personal” and is perfect all around with catchy lyrics and a great beat. “Kids in the Dark,” the second single, makes you want to get up and dance and will definitely be an anthem for this generation’s pop punk teens.

“Missing You” is that one slower track the band seems to always have and it’s a personal favorite on the record that makes you smile from start to finish. “Tidal Waves,” featuring Mark Hoppus, gives you a “Therapy”feel (the ending track on “Nothing Personal”) and “Don’t You Go” will be the song fans itch to hear on their upcoming Future Hearts tour.

“Dancing with a Wolf” is one of the best tracks on the album, resembling Dirty Work’s “Get Down on Your Knees” and “Tell Me You Love Me” with stabbing lyrics and a rock beat that has you slightly banging your head. The less notable tracks add to the album very nicely and pull the sound together.

It is hard to dislike any part of this album, whether you have liked All Time Low’s recent stuff or not. It has a good mix of the band’s old sound and some new sounds that will be explored in the band’s future. “Future Hearts” is on sale now.
