Wonders of the Younger is the sixth studio album by American rock band Plain White T's.

The show had clowns, pirates and a bunch of crazy stuff and I walked out thinking 'I've got a great idea for our next album.'

But we wanted to push ourselves outside of what the Plain White T's are accustomed to--exploring different arrangements and striving to be more adventurous and exciting lyrically, musically and thematically.

Higgenson built and decorated the recording studio in the basement of his Chicago home with Wonders of the Younger as his thematic inspiration.

Higgenson noted that the song is all about pushing the boundaries of their creativity and musical imagination combined with a dose of nostalgia.

[8] Andrew Leahey of AllMusic praised them for experimenting on different styles of instruments and vocals, and not relying exclusively on the midtempo songwriting that made them famous saying "As far as pop albums go, this one strikes a rare balance between familiarity and novelty".

"[12] Jon Dolan of Entertainment Weekly gave credit to Tom Higgenson for sticking with his priorities but found the album a bit dreary.
