That look on chilledpunkrock's face when he realizes I Became Birds was, in fact, not an EP

Lovely and kind of unique album which sits between different genres. And it's a grower!

The sophomore album from the post-emo/2nd wave emo revival band sees them continue to expand upon their folky and Midwest emo blend but seem to slip farther into somewhat boring territory. ?The Whaler? has a lot of the same folky guitars and devastating Midwest emo lyrics you have come to expect from the band. But most of the album leans a little too much into the indie folk and indie rock side of things that do not really meld well with the band. When they diverge more into folky screamo, and folk punk is when things shine through more. Overall, it?s not a bad album by any means, but it could be a lot more memorable.

Home Is Where deliver an infectious emo record with the whaler. Most importantly, they nicely fuse their various influences into emo's sadperson vibe, mostly with post-hardcore dynamics or folk twangs. Shame that they nailed it in the first half to offer much less memorable (and fucking vivid) songs in the second half.

The I Became Birds EP is my favorite EP of the decade so far, and this album lives up to that. Wow this thing is a ride.
