ReleaseEdit

On December 13, 2008, it was announced on their blog that their full-length album would be out on December 23, 2008.[7]
Take It to the Floor was received with generally positive reviews from music critics. Many critics praised the track "Party In Your Bedroom" as the highlight of the album. Tim Sendra of AllMusic stated, "As evidenced by the band's one perfect moment, 'Party In Your Bedroom,' it's awesome." However, added that, "The rest of the album doesn't quite measure up to that song." Overall, he remarked, "if you want a quick and most likely short-lived blast of pop nonsense, the album is pretty brilliant."[1]
AbsolutePunk stated that the song "Party In Your Bedroom", had the most "single potential" which "utilize what a lot of radio friendly bands are using today." They also praised Alex Makhlouf's "noticeable" synth work on tracks such as "Your Love" and "Sugar Rush". However stated that the negative aspect of the album was the "many artificial instruments played on the record." Overall, they called the album, "an outstanding debut LP."[10]
Aarik Danielsen of PopMatters praised the band's ability to write "huge hooks and carry themselves with enough style and confidence to score big points with teen-age listeners." He called the tracks "Party in Your Bedroom" and "Your Love" as the "best tunes" from the album that "showcase a gift for melody and a creative spark that can be further harnessed." To end off, he stated, "the band could truly have something special."[11]
