I actually found this album to be quite enjoyable. Especially here in the Florida summer. With pounding drum beats, melodic guitar riffs, and anthematic choruses, this LP really reminded me of something from Cloud Nothings or a Japandroids record. There are a few drawbacks though. 1. The production on the vocals is kind of off-putting but I get that they were trying to go for a Lo-Fi/Garage Rock type sound..the vocals just didn't compare to how they sounded on their most recent EP. 2. The tracks on this album can be quite repetitive. Not that they all sound the same, but each song will pound it's hook into your head, or maybe a guitar riff into your head, or maybe a drum pattern..catch my drift. 3.Theres some throwaway tracks in my opinion (I.e., 'Gimme Gimme' and even the title track was kind of a letdown). All in all, this albums not terrible, but it's not amazing either. Definitely worth checking out though if you're looking for a good summer indie rock record.
