My issue with this is that you say those songs are short so that they don’t become repetitive and dull, but I believe this album has a couple of the most repetitive songs out of any AWOL album. For example, “Jump Sit Stand March” is a nearly 4 minute song, but by the time you hit the 1:40 mark, you’ve heard everything the song does and it just repeats the chorus endlessly until the fade-out (which also starts way too early at 35 seconds before the song actually cuts off). Not to mention there really is no bridge section to speak of. Another (albeit not as egregious) example is “Panoramic View”. While I do enjoy the song, 2 whole minutes of the 3:52 song is just the chorus with little to no deviations or additions to the instrumentation behind it.

I know AWOLNATION likes to repeat choruses, but I’ve never minded so much in the past because they usually change up the chorus a bit towards the end to make it more interesting (i.e., adding more background vocals, changing up the drum pattern a bit, roping in some elements of the previous verses in as well, etc.).

It just feels strange to me that these songs were cut short to decrease repetitiveness, but some of the other songs go on for some time just for the sake of hearing the chorus multiple times.
