it's not true sowing, don't get your hopes up. The opener is the only thing that gets anywhere close to that feeling.

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm gonna listen to it either way, so it doesn't really matter. As long as it brings the feels I'll be satisfied, doesn't need to be a TA clone; in fact it would be better if it packed the same punch in its own unique way.

Album Rating: 4.5

It brought some feels temporarily to my cold husk of a heart

yo Sanders, I appreciate the kind words but you should definitely still review this if you were planning on it!! pretty sure another review is on the way as well. the more the merrier :]



and yeah Sowing it's definitely not a TA clone. just think the epic rock sound it has will give you a similar "high". you'll have to report back!

Man I love this more and more the more I listen. More consistent than Schmaltz, even if it doesn't have as many as that albums epic high points. The lyrics are great, the expansion on their sound is great. Outside of obviously being pop punk I don't see The Wonder Years and Menzingers comparisons. Yeah same genre and similar message in lyrics, but execution is so different.

Album Rating: 2.5

How can you not see The Wonder Years comparisons ... specifically the vocals and lyricism. Lyricism is very similar to The Menzingers on After the Party.

Album Rating: 4.0

I mean like I said I see the comparison, but I think it’s overexaggerated. Obviously they share a lot of similarities, but I think song structures are particularly different. Like The Wonder Years are a whole lot more anthemic and structured, whereas the explosiveness here is of a different kind. Obviously, same genre, same tropes, but I think very different execution

Chan your favorite track will just keep changing, haha



Was convinced Beach Front Property was mine but it’s really hard to beat Kick. Also really love Generation Loss lately.

Album Rating: 4.0

Kick is definitely up there as of right now

But it's really not all that similar lyrically to AtP. I feel like this deals far more with depression and struggle to find something meaningful in life, whereas AtP felt like 30 year olds singing about coming to grips with getting older and in a way embracing it.

Routine Pain just finished and this is already better than Schmaltz



When he sang "We've got 10 years with these bodies, and maybe 20 on this Earth" I really felt it for some reason damn

Have you seen me lately?

Album Rating: 4.5

"I'm so preoccupied with my own life

I can't see the world is burning down"



"I'll die here in the Midwest

Why can't I live with that?"



Man two songs in and this thing is a lyrical goldmine. I'll shut up until I finish the album but man what a first impression so far.



This reminds me of the first time I heard The Wonder Years mixed with The Menzingers, and maybe even an ever so slight tinge of Rise Against. I love it.



...aaaand now Kick is even better than the first 3 songs wtf. Keep waiting for this to stagnate and it just isn't.



OK I lied I'm gonna keep talking 'bout this. Beach Front Property might be just as good as Kick: Don’t believe in God / Figure he’d be a better planner than this...



IT GETS HARDER DOESN'T IT

when he says "i'm running out of what comes next" that shit hits me hard

Album Rating: 4.0

The chorus of Self-Destruction (as a Sensible Career Choice) had me feeling all kinds of ways just now

Album Rating: 4.5

Just when I thought Optimism was going to be the first "just okay" song, they hit me with those screamed vocals and amped up electric guitars like yeaaaaahhhh



"you’ll always wake up tired, because there’s nowhere we go from here" / "you know damn well there ain't a promised land" / "I’m just a walking tragic ending...Fuck, I don’t wanna be the last one standing"

Losers, Pt.2 might be the best song here agreed, everyone? Still 2 more songs to overtake this, can't even put it past this album.



YOU KNOW IT'S NOT WHAT WE NEED followed by that faded bridge is yet another contender for best moment on the album.



Whew. I will need to sleep on this and listen again tomorrow, but this is probably the best thing I've heard in 2020 so far. Easy 4. No way this grows off me more than a 3.5 and might become better with time if I can attach some personal meaning over time.

'Whew. I will need to sleep on this and listen again tomorrow, but this is probably the best thing I've heard in 2019 so far.'

It's 2020.

But if this was released in 2019 it would have been top 3 at least
