• On their full length debut, Brooklyn-based popsters the Honorary Title reveal their forte to be performing attractively homespun-sounding vignettes of workaday angst, like "Snow Day" and the title track. ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE TRUTH's production is suitably lo-fi, Jarrod Borbel's vocals are tunefully emotive, and his colleague Aaron Kamstra's keyboards provide just the right post-modern setting for this simply presented yet effective collection.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[The] songs emphasize the draining process of forcing a melody and words to communicate feelings and observations. It's definitely a style, and on this debut, the Honorary Title do it with nerve and verve."

CMJ (p.5) - "Gorbel's lyrics are often more confessional than anything Chris Carrabba bleats out, and his delivery is deftly accented by Kamstra's dynamic orchestration."
