VacationerKenny Vasoli originally joined electronic-pop outfit Vacationer anonymously – the lead singer of pop-punk outfit The Starting Line didn't want his fans to form any preconceived notions about his new band. He needn't have worried.

Indeed, Relief is actually positive to a fault. Paradise Waiting would be a nice, pool-side summer listen. The remaining 38 minutes feel too much like a bombardment of Care Bears and rainbows to be overly enjoyable.
