Album Rating: 2.0

there are 23 pickslides tho i might've miscounted since i wasn't paying too much attention some of the time and the production kinda covers a few of them up/there are some feedbacky effects that kinda sound like pickslides that i wasn't sure about. also if there were two of them layered i counted it as one, but that only happened twice i think



surprised by how many songs there were only 1 or even 0 pickslides in. tho the opener and last two each had like 5 so

Rowan this is an awesome review, but yeah I could have seen this coming. You did a great job capturing why this band has so far. I still love the stretch of their discog from Siren Song through about half of Endgame, but...yeah. They've been going through the motions for years.

This review dude!

Great review!!! But the rating is killing me, I'd say this is better than Appeal or The Black Market.

The decent tracks on this and Black Market could make a fair enough 3.5 album combined



band should just tough it out and wait 'til 2023 for their next album

album is balls and it sucks being someone who defended this band for the black market and endgame ;^(

I like the new typography, if nothing else.

As someone who only listens to these guys by chance, i was pleasantly surprised of how the bass sounds in some of these songs. Unfortunately the production of the album is not my cup of tea. As for the album itself, i couldn't care less.

Album Rating: 1.5

i hate this vapid, pointless shit

really good review

Review is fantastic. Album is meh.

These guys have devolved into Pickslides: The Band.

Also the dude who produced this is 90% of the reason the last Hold Steady album was mediocre as fuck.

I haven't listened to the album yet, but I really enjoyed this review! It kind of confirms my fears for this album though... I guess I'll keep my expectations low.



I was a huge fan of Rise Against all the through to (and including) Appeal to Reason. That album was a major change for the band, but it still felt genuine, and it worked! The next 2 albums were so stale, I haven't listened to either of them in years. I will always give new music from them a try, but it's unfortunate to hear that this once again lacks heart.

currently listening to all of their albums and counting up the total amount of pickslides across their discog



2 albums in and we're at 60 total

I don't think I can even tell what a pickslide is. Or maybe I can and I didn't know what it is until now. What's an example of one (time at one song)
