The "Americanized" sound is defiantly present and could easily annoy some, and the fact that this is a punk album, so some may believe that there is not enough variation here. There are reasons of course why some listeners may be put off by this. "Flight of the Navigator" for instance is much more based on their "emo rock" influences with its dramatic rhythms and moving words. It is the perfect blend of genres to make this album both original and approachable, with something to enjoy on every single song of this record. And when you listen to it, you can be nothing but impressed that such a young band has found their own sound so confidently, so quickly. "Mutiny!" is the tale of pirates and their adventures, and this re-occurring influence sits in this album to compare with the personal issues of the band, and it sets a very interesting perspective on the album. It also introduces the "concept" of this album. Its four minutes of wonderful hooks, catchy sing-a-longs and a skull smashing riff the perfect summer song. The first four tracks all blend into one and as this explodes after "Dead Men tell no Tales" and with that, you fall in love instantly. It is the title track "Mutiny!" that runs away with this album though.

Opener "Work in Progress" for instance shows the band"s massive range of influences in a gem of clever, heart-felt lyrics, wonderful harmonies and an exciting atmosphere starting off with just a simple acoustic guitar before blowing up into full the band"s input. As a lyric from the title track states "This is us growing up, still young, but no longer impressionable." Set Your Goals have arrived. Lots of tours later though and signed, Set Your Goals have come up with this, "Mutiny!" a refreshingly original and energetic album which although still pays massive homage to it"s peers, sees the band come into their own, maturely and without fear that they are doing the wrong thing. Earlier this year they released debut 6 track ep "Reset" which screamed potential in every way despite not doing anything massively new. Set Your Goals started as an underground punk band in San Francisco, California, playing the music they love. And I haven"t even mentioned how this, Set Your Goals" debut album, is a concept album! Well, ish, but more on that later. I have a feeling that this band will be taking over this year, and my word, do they deserve it. Here, we have probably the best example of "Posi" you could ask for: wonderfully catchy tunes, charming lyrics, fantastic harmonies and an original combination of music in the instruments. It's upbeat mix of punk-pop, hardcore and even Emo has been around for sometime now, but Set Your Goals are probably going to change all that.

POSI-Hardcore is a somewhat overlooked genre, partly because no one is really sure how to define it.
