| I was a bit worried when some of the songs we heard before this was out were a little too poppy compared to Plan B, but luckily those few songs we heard seem to be the only ones that were poppy. This album has just as many unique, awe-inspiring moments as Plan B, and at the same time manages to showcase a completely different side of A Lot Like Birds. The addition of Kurt Travis was definitely a positive, having him seems to have caused a sense of urgency in the songwriting that simply wasn't there on Plan B and every band member shines on this album. One of the best releases of 2011. |

When I first heard this I thought it was one of the most obnoxious, ugly pieces of music I'd
ever heard. I tried to respect it for what it was but even that was a challenge. Flash
forward two years or so and I think it's one of the easiest listens in my library. For one
thing, the musicianship, and especially the drumming, is phenomenal. All of the
songs progress in very interesting ways. It sounds a bit jumbled at first, but over time
this album flows beautifully.
Bottom line, easily one of the best records I've ever heard from a trying-really-hard-to-be-
objective standpoint. |

This, much like United Nations' offering this year, is one of those short EPs that feels
longer and fuller than it is. A lot of the reason for this is that La Dispute and Touche
Amore know how to write songs that tell stories in short spaces. The best example I can give
is La Dispute's last track "Why It Scares Me." Despite only being three and a half minutes
(and the longest track by far on the EP) it gives the same feeling as "The Last Lost
Continent" did on Somewhere at the Bottom of the River...
So rather than complain about how there aren't enough songs, I'm going to rejoice that these
two bands have decided to collaborate instead of just throwing two of their random songs
onto an EP and calling it a split. |

| Shittiest lyrics ever, and I can't recall any of them being particularly adept at rapping. But you know what? These guys know that. They're in on the joke. And that's why it's still enjoyable to listen to. This album is ridiculously catchy, plain and simple. And that's why people listen to it. And why I like it, quite a bit. |

| There's nothing really unifying about the sound on this album. If I had to describe what they must have been thinking while writing this, the best I can come up with is that they tried to write beautiful songs. While none of the songs really sound the same in a genre sense, they all sound incredibly beautiful, and that's the highest compliment I can pay a band. rBottom line, these guys are great, check 'em out. |

This isn't the most talented band; they don't have the best vocals, lyrics, instrumentals,
or any of that. But they have a love for music that far outstrips almost every other band I
have ever heard, and that starts first and foremost with frontman Jeff Rosenstock. His voice
me be grating and annoying to some, but when you listen to him you know that there's nothing
in the entire world that he'd rather do than share his love of music with everyone, and he
has an energy that could carry an album. The even better part? It doesn't have to, as the
band takes his energy and feeds from it, and the result is some of the most honest music out
there today. These guys play whatever they want, whenever they want, and whether you love
them or hate them, you have to admit they are doing this for nothing but the sheer love of
music. |

All the recent hate just makes me lol. It's not enough to simply not like the album, you must convince everyone that it's "totally laughable" and "completely unlistenable."
Can't we just have our separate opinions and leave it at that?
