"It has a lot of faults and not much stuff here stands out, but it's far from a throwaway album"
Yeah, I'd agree.
I may dip back into this with that mindset, blush.

This is pretty decent actually, doubt I'll listen to it again though. At least it made me go back and jam my Million Dead albums, so that's cool

I actually have a soft spot for his last few records, but yeah this is absolute rubbish.

I think Make America Great Again is cute. Let's make compassion in fashion again.

Man, the fact this wasn't featured or trending means this site has really changed. All of the old staff used to fap over him, hard.

I still do but only England and earlier
His recent stuff has been at best a slight cut above average

Channing, Knott, Downer, and RedSky are turning over in their graves.

I think most of them would probably agree with that assessment though, assuming the middle two didn't deliberately take opposition to anything I say by default.

Yeah RedSky said the other day that he completely lost interest in Frank Turner's music. I used to adore his music as well (was even my first concert) but he's fallen off hard and just comes across as corny these days. A shame.

"just comes across as corny these days." [2]
This was the corniest album I've subjected myself to (a few times) in years.

Great review. Finally listening to this for the first time. I really couldn't get into Positive Songs outside of a few tracks, so I had low expectations for this....and so far, those low expectations have not been met. This is....not very good. I saw someone on the first page say Frank peaked with England Keep My Bones and has devolved into self parody since. I'd make the argument he peaked with Tape Deck Heart (quite unpopular opinion, I know) and has rapidly declined since.

he's certainly gotten progressively more corny since LI&S but i didn't find any album up to and including Positive Songs to be so corny that i couldn't enjoy it. for me the appeal of the songs overpowered the increasingly cheesy subject matter, in large part cuz Frank is such a fuckin hookslinger. on this album, some of the songs are almost offensively corny (MAGA definitely so), and the quality of the songs doesnt save them from that. "blackout" is a straight jam tho

1933 is a straight jam, blackout is nice, nothing else is worth anyones time tho

Such a disappointing album given what he's capable of.
I find myself listening to a couple of songs off the album here and there like 1933, BMK, Blackout, and Little Changes as part of a playlist, but I almost never spin the album on its' own.

the metacritic score for this is ridiculous

Lmao Sowing subtweeting me ITT. I only take exception to the thinly veiled misogyny, I guess it depends how much of "anything [you] say" falls into that category
Everyone is obviously right this was super disappointing.
The best thing on here is probably Survival Blues tbh. MAGA is cringe-worthy. He's trying too hard to write #universal songs at the expense of the authenticity that used to be his calling card.
I'll still go see him live every time I can though because he puts on one hell of a show.

frank turner is like parks and rec: the positivity was a big selling point early on but once he made it the main point of his music it just got cloying and boring.
