The Dangerous Summer's self-titled fourth album is a departure from their earlier emo-pop sound. It explores themes of aging and introspection, with frontman A.J.

Perdomo's vocals reflecting a sense of quiet desperation. The album blends glossy, mainstream alt-rock with elements of Springsteen-inspired anthems and punk energy.

While the production is polished and safe, the band's earnest delivery and emotional depth shine through, particularly in the album's final quarter.
