Having three absolute lowest of the low 0 out of 10 stinkers closing out the album was a strange choice - that's the craziest thing I found about the tracklist, had to check they weren't the accursed bonus tracks, but no they're supposed to be there

Might dig some of this. their last album was too long for me to want to bother but this should be an easy 3.

I think a 3.8 is on point for this on first listen

a lot of spectacular failure on this, but “TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME” and “Love It if We Made It” are the ridiculous pop rock songs i needed

can’t ignore the backslide of writing a Scritti Politti rip-off (“UGH!”) to now writing a Def Leppard rip-off (“It’s Not Living (If it’s Not With You)”), though

Tootime really sucks. Even if you interpret it as like a PC music take on tropical house or Despacito it's just hot garbage.

yeah tootime feels like such an awful attempt at riding that tropical house wave in the safest way possible

I hated it a lot at first but I’m quite fond of it now. Just a nice song

Okay, is it just me or is the guitar riff in "Give Yourself a Try" really goddamn grating?

"Correct me if I’m wrong, but no one knows how BNM works—staff do not have the ability to make it so. The best guess (that I remember) is that an album has to have three staff ratings of 3.5 or higher as well as an official staff review. But again, most of us have no idea how it works."



Did not know this, thanks.

Check the news thread about that song and you will see that you are not alone.

I, on the other hand, did not mind it.

You're right Xeno. It's an average not a staff choice.

And thanks plane! :-)

It's just so repetitive and sharp. Something feels off about the production as well. Judging from how the next tracks have been going I'm getting the feeling this won't be very positive.

I believe the children call it "garage-y" or "lo-fi"?

I'm shocked that I'm enjoying this as much as I do. Their last record was so painfully boring but I've been jamming a lot of cuts from this one. Could even bump the rating with more listens.

this band really needs to stop being vapidly pretentious and put out a fantastic 10-track record for once
