So Much For Love is the second studio album by The Wrecking, and the album released on August 21, 2012 by Chosen Records. The album was produced by Karl Anderson and Dustin Burnett. The album with the lone exception of "Glorious" was produced, recorded, and mixed by Dustin Burnett at The Halo in Windham, Maine. The song "Glorious" was produced by Karl Anderson with guest vocals by Georgia Noonan, Sarah Nickerson, and Alyssa Carrol. The album was mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine, and the package design is by Stephen Gilbert and Victoria Richland.
CCM Magazine's Andy Argyrakis said "for its second national long player, Portland, Maine's The Wrecking turns up the aggression level yet another notch to make an impressive splash in the modern rock scene...the guys turn in a crisp and crunchy guitar-centered set that's just as alluring on the lyrical end. Topics like brokeness and recovery couldn't be more timely, though there's always the eternal perspective in tow."CCM Magazine compared the band to the likes of Needtobreathe, Augustana and Abandon, and the We Like song as being "Fire".
Christian Music Zine's Joshua Andre said "with singles 'View From the Top' and 'About to Fall' gaining momentum and traction for both of the ingenious music videos and relevant everyday messages; it is clear that it'll be a matter of time before a major record label deal is given to these guys. With an unashamed faith as the backbone for all members, even one listen from this remarkable album is more than enough to hear that this smart and slick musical production coupled with heartfelt and honest lyrics and a passion and hunger for God; is a breath of fresh air in the CCM and mainstream music industry! I would gladly repeat So Much For Love over and over- it speaks volumes about God and this road called 'life'!" In addition, Andre wrote "So Much For Love is one of my favourite pop albums this year, and on a day where Tenth Avenue North, Chris August and Owl City all release new albums, The Wrecking have created an album that could rival any one of the aforementioned artists! Full of double meanings that could create a spike in the sales in the mainstream charts; this album is a memorable entry in 2012! Well done guys, hope you have more exposure in the Christian and the mainstream market! Hats off to producer Dustin Burnett as well!" The favourite tracks according to the reviewer are the following: Electricity, Tidal Wave, Gravity, Glorious, View From the Top, Fighting For Something, Symphony of the Broken Hearted.
