Sometimes you just know based on an album's aesthetic and sound, the Sputnik music crowd will be down on it compared to just about all other places. Probably a 3.25 but sometimes you gotta round up or down. The album is kind of all over the place musically falling somewhere in the noisy/slacker/bedroom indie rock/pop world. For the most part the album is driven by the guitar and the vocals with key accents from synth and drum tracks in an overall lo-fi mix. 'Predictable Shame' is an obvious banger and 'Quarter Pounder' also displays a lot of what this album is made of. Lyrics and the production on the vocals often leave a lot to be desired but on the whole the album flows by nicely and has a lot of catchy moments.
