The Academy Is... - Fast Times at Barrington High




So, their previous effort, Santi, was an utter disaster. Over-hyped and unfulfilling, the album seemed to be forced and was too "studio-produced." So the fact that their newest effort has flown under the radar was a welcome sign as soon as I had found it. In fact, until I stumbled upon it, I had no idea that they had a new album coming out. The best thing about this album is that it revisits what made "Almost Here" so great, catchy hooks and riffs.

1. About A Girl
2. Summer Hair = Forever Young
3. His Girl Friday
4. The Test
5. Rumored Nights
6. Automatic Eyes
7. Crowded Room
8. Coppertone
9. After The Last Midnight Show
10. Beware! Cougar!
11. Paper Chase
12. One More Weekend
