As the album sparkles to life, it's a wonder that over a decade had passed between Acceptance's beloved debut Phantoms and their sophomore comeback Colliding by Design. And what a return it is. Over the passage of time, the Seattle quintet only managed to get better, which should come as no surprise given the years they've had to mature, develop, and figure out what truly mattered to them. Much has transpired in a decade. For Acceptance, that included families, regular day jobs, and joining other bands. Fortunately for fans, they distilled all these experiences and poured them into this album. Rooted in their original early-2000s blend of yearning emo-rock and passionate pop-punk, Colliding by Design updates their sound with increased urgency and scope that elevates them into the arena-ready ranks occupied by like-minded pop/rock acts like Coldplay and OneRepublic. Jason Vena's voice remains one of the finest in the genre, while the band -- guitarists Kaylan Cloyd and Christian McAlhaney, drummer Garrett Lunceford, and bassist Ryan Zwiefelhofer -- continue their tight, melodic, and fully enveloping delivery, incorporating some '80s new wave influences as well
