I think Album of the Year gets a bit underrated, I may prefer it to King For a Day honestly

He just repeats the same shit with the same cadence over and over again on most of these songs, the chorus to Superhero is a great example, no melodic hook at all.

Yeah, Superhero is a bit too repetitive and drawn out for my taste.



Separation, Motherfucker and Matador are cool though.

Ah, if only the production on this was better... Songwriting on here is great but the production brings it down for me a bit. Damn...

Black Friday, Separation Anxiety and Cone Of Shame are so good! Top notch FNM material.

This album definitely sees Patton put in by far his worst FNM vocal performance (and remember The Real Thing is home to some very strange Patton singing) - think that's what holds this back. He truly opens his lungs for about a collective 5 minutes across the entire album (if that tbh) - never sounds at ease, falls back to just singing in a middle range 'character' style speak-singing most of the time. This 'acting' singing is also a bit devoid of the twinkle of old, it takes everything down a peg or two.



The most soaring clean vocals here are in Matador and even then they are pretty average compared to past material. Think of the effortless of The Last to Know or Just a Man - there is nothing here close to that purity. I can't believe that it's Patton that has let the team down here but it's unmistakably the case. On this album his vocals are...and I can't believe I'm saying this...quite dull, safe and weirdest of all, almost totally lacking in charisma. Yikes.

I really think part of the problem is the strange way the voice is mixed on here, sounds very muddy. I'm convinced that in a more distinguished production the album would unfold its true potential.
