Wake Up, Sunshine
Wake Up, Sunshine is the eighth studio album by American rock band All Time Low. It was released on April 3, 2020, and is their second release with Fueled by Ramen following "Last Young Renegade" in 2017. The album's fourth and final single "Monsters" is the highest-charting song of their career. Background and recording. The album comes after 2017's "Last Young Renegade". A majority of the writing and recording process took place in the summer of 2019 at a mansion located in Palm Desert, California, (usually referred to by the band as the "marble  mansion") that the band rented and lived in for a few months along with most of the team that worked on "Wake Up, Sunshine." Some recording also happened in Rian Dawson's home studio in Nashville, Tennessee which gave the band the opportunity to work without worrying about renting a professional studio and let them work in their own tempo. Reception. The album received critical acclaim, with some noting it as a nostalgic culmination of the band’s previous works. In a positive review, Emily Carter of "Kerrang!" called it "dreamy," "nostalgic," and "sentimental." AllMusic reviewer Neil Z. Yeung praised  the album for paying homage to pop punk predecessors such as Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy, Lit, and Blink-182, while praising the album's blend of the band's modern style and their past pop-punk music, mentioning the presence of "catchy hooks, bright energy, and . . . the style that won All Time Low a legion of devoted scene fans."
