Of course, the album doesn't deny us examples of healthy relationships blooming in songs like They're Going Steady, and Burying My Cheeks in The Shetland. Plastic Love and One Night Stand give us examples of unhealthy coping mechanisms surrounding love, the former being more about filling a void materialistically and the latter through meaningless flings. I especially enjoy carrying this overarching theme of love and how it tries to mend itself over time, starting with Once Again, despite how upbeat it is, it's telling us lonely the main character is. While certain songs come off as a bit too pastiche, Merseybeat & Amphitheater Night being the biggest offenders, most of the other songs are pretty awesome on their own merits and worth the second listen.
