- Wild Card
This has been out for a while so all I'll say is that my dad appreciates this one as much as I do. - Storyline
Another track that's been out for a bit, definitely worthy of being the title track. Although he does use some double negatives, we can look past it. - Still Fallin
A slower one, definitely references the "story" theme of the album. A very "committed couple" type of song, good for a wedding or big anniversary. - Tattoo
A catchy melody/riff and adorable idea. A song about being young and impulsive, while also thinking of a relationship as something permanent. - Invisible
In which Hunter acts as an older brother, sheltering his younger fans - promising it does get better. This buildup is awesome. - Interlude
(instrumental) - I can't tell for sure but it sounds like it might be a mix of a few previous songs. It's a unique thing to include on an album, and I like it. Especially with the story theme, as if it's a play with an intermission, ya know? - You Think You Know Somebody
A nice one about calling people out on their broken promises and empty words. I love it. - Flashlight
It comes across very religion-based but I can still dig it. That whole 'light at the end of the tunnel' type. - When Did You Stop Loving Me
Is that an accordian I hear? Sounds a bit John Mayer-esque. - ...Like I Was Saying (Jam)
This one flows so smoothly I didn't even realize the song had changed. That's the kind of stuff that catches my attention. - Secret Love
This one is intense, following a Romeo & Juliet theme. Sounds like something that could have been on Midnight Memories. - Nothing Like Staring Over
You just roll into this one, and it follows the album theme once again. I'd have picked it as a beginning/finale to the album just to go along with the timeline of a love story, but that doesn't really matter. - If It's Just Me
Those one-sided relationships where - dare I say it - the couple are not on the same page. That'll be the only story pun I do. - Love Too Much
A nice one about not putting a limit on your feelings, not holding back. Interesting.

Hunter Hayes - Storyline | Album Review
I feel like I've been hyping this album up for so long, it's nice to finally put all my thoughts in one place! Since the album just came out today, I thought I'd share my initial thoughts for each song instead - first impressions mean everything, right?
