A few months ago when I first pressed play on Restorations’ LP2, I immediately tweeted that this record was going to be 2013’s On The Impossible Past. I mean, that sounds like a great compliment, if only for the fact that The Menzingers’ fantastic 2012 effort was AbsolutePunk’s number one album of 2012. Later on though, I thought it was kind of a shitty thing for me to immediately put the Philly quintet’s Side One Dummy debut into a box like that. At the very least, it was fairly lazy of me. Because while there are moments that remind me of The Menzingers, there are even more moments on LP2 that shows off the varying layers and styles of the band. The Menzingers are a great band, but instead of creating a “made for press releases” quote stating that Restorations are the next this, I’m gonna spend my time telling you how uniquely refreshing LP2 is. -Absolutepunk.net
