War Paint sucked apart from a couple of songs. This is much better, still no Reach for the Sun tho

easily the best dangerous summer

Album Rating: 3.5

Idk if I'll ever love this as much as RFTS and War Paint because Im hopelessly emotionally attached to those albums for various reasons but this is still really damn good

this is better than war paint but still not as good as rfts

Album Rating: 4.5

Like this more than War Paint, which I recently bumped from a 5 down to a 4. Not as much as RFTS though, at least yet. They've definitely matured, but I was wish they'd show that maturity more often throughout the album.

Album Rating: 3.9

Really liking this so far but I swear to god these guys need to diversify their sound so bad, they've been making the same song over and over for three albums. It's a damn good song, yeah, but it's gonna get tired real soon.

I know man, I was just joking cos you quoted me saying "Really liking this so far" and then said "this", which I see you've corrected now lol.

Honestly, I like this and War Paint way more than Reach for the Sun.

Sorry bro but listening to RFTS now and AJ didn't have even close to the same level of emotion in his vocals then than he does now. Plus, Work in Progress, Waves and Knives > anything off RFTS.

Album Rating: 1.5

on this and on war paint, aj has been really histrionic. it's like he never learned from the issues that he was tackling with on reach for the sun. reach for the sun is my favorite because it's far more subtle and subdued than the others but wasn't completely boring like warpaint. reach for the sun was all about patience, acceptance, and growing up. but it doesn't seem like he's been able to follow through with any of that and just keeps on whining on and on.



to my knowledge, he's getting married or has been married now. and his life is better now than it has been since he's started this band, and yet his music is as if he hasn't emotionally progressed since 2009. the histrionic singing/songwriting not only comes off as way overdramatic, but also as insincere and really lazy.

Album Rating: 3.9

I disagree with some of that. I agree with the statement that he's been a bit of a one track record but I definitely wouldn't say it's gotten lazy, at least not yet. And yeah, he tackled great lyrical subjects on RFTS with subtlety as you said, but I'm still hard pressed to find a single moment on there where he sings with anything even approaching the level of conviction and heartfeltness that he used on, say, Work in Progress or Waves.

Sins is so damn good

I don't know. In my opinion they have not "been making the same song over and over for three albums." I think this most likely applies to RFTS although it's a great record, but on War Paint and especially Golden Record they've definitely polished their sound.

Album Rating: 3.0

^agreed. I like all their stuff but I think this is my favorite.
