Significance
Misadventures received mostly positive reviews and became the band's first album to chart outside the United States. The album reached #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. Alternative Press gave it a 90/100 rating, stating, "Every single track is a winner. Misadventures expertly redraws PTV's own map, celebrating their impossible blend of ambitious, creative obsessions and the electric crackle of raw intensity". Kerrang! Magazine stated "Misadventures has proudly claimed the belt as Pierce The Veil's best offering to date", giving it 80/100. The album also earned the band numerous #1 positions in various other charts such as the Alternative, Hard Rock, Rock and Independent charts. The album displays Pierce the Veil with a sound and style that's far more experimental than anything they have ever released.
