This is a fun, poppy song, which is a definite throwback to their first full length album, Almost Here. While I enjoy the song, I do find it a damn shame that they seem to have felt the need to go backward instead of forward with their sound. Maybe if Santi had sold better than it did, we'd have another solid rock album.

amazing song but dont label TAI yet....

this song is REALLY good but we dont know whats to come from fast times at barrington high and there could be more than just a summery pop rock song so wait until August 19th to label The Academy is's new Album i mean what we they suposed to do Wite Santi twice

erm

the academy is.. is my guilty pleasure, i won't lie. but this song is just like all the other emo crap out there like fall out boy and paramore and such. santi had a diffrent vibe, and i actually liked it. this is very poppy and nothing great at all, i can't even listen to it.
