Album: So Wrong Its Right
Artist: All Time Low
Record Label: Hopeless Records

The second album released by Maryland quartet All Time Low did little to rewrite the genre of pop-punk; however, despite mixed reviews, So Wrong, It’s Right is one of the most important albums in the bands history. Overall the album can be considered as generic, often compared to old school New Found Glory. If the album is considered so generic, how then can it be so important? The answer lies in the songs: Remembering Sunday, and Dear Maria, Count Me In. Both songs have been very well received by fans ranking in the top 5 (#5 and #1 respectively) on the bands Spotify page. Both songs have also been featured on their documentaries Straight to DVD & Straight to DVD II. Remembering Sunday itself has featured both Juliet Simms (Automatic Loveletter) & Cassidy Pope (Formerly of Hey Monday). The song is an acoustic ballad written by frontman Alex Gaskarth while on the plane home from seeing a girl(The same one talked about in their song Vegas) & how the visit didn’t go very well. Dear Maria, on the other hand, is one of the fastest track on the album. Written about a stripper, this high energy song has been widely accepted as the track that propelled them to success (the song also functions as their encore during live performances). In addition to featuring on both versions of Straight to DVD, Dear Maria has made appearances on their Live Sessions EP and has been covered numerous times, most notably by artists such as Story Untold (AMASIC), Patty Walters (As It Is), & Neck Deep. Dear Maria is also the only song in the bands discography to be certified as Platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). While not the most commercially successful All Time Low Album, So Wrong laid the groundwork for the bands current success and cemented itself as one of their most important bodies of work.
