I didn't necessarily expect them to drop another album quite so soon but they haven't made it a secret that they had a bunch of other material they were working on, I think they played almost every song on this at some point during their current tour and they did drop the two singles recently.

Smoke Detect for an opener would have been nice move, love how manic it feels.

I'd love a full album of longer tracks like Space Invader and Smoke Detector. Would only need to be like 6-7 songs tops.

Am I just hearing things or does it sound like there's a light autotune effect on Matt's voice when he reaches into his upper register on Smoke Detector?

'Been lurking for 15 years.'



I lurked for precisely 2 years before I caved, that's some self control if true

“You’re the opposite of an open book” has got to be one of Matt’s dumbest lyrics ever lol.

That last one is a classic, idk what you’re getting at Colt. The second one is goofy but in the charming way of a lot of that Alligator stuff and doesn’t land nearly as clunkily as “opposite of an open book”

is there a single thing to do with analyising the english language colton can be trusted with

birthday candle is crass and figurative and sticks the landing / nervous dick is crass and literal and sticks the landing / opposite of an open book is a shit attempt to spruce up a dead metaphor for poetic effect and sinks like a stone

is this gonna be a repeat of the time pots had to hold your hand and explain why astrology was a form of symbolism

Even if that line didn’t have a figurative meaning it would work in the context of the self-effacing hubris of the song it comes from.

Agreed with Johnny, the book line is not even trying to be funny or anything

"I'm a perfect piece of ass"
"Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink"

Stupid, but great and self-aware

@Ryus Now those lines are actually fantastic and paint a sad and funny picture
