CWS kinda nailed that feeling better than anyone else on Future is Cancelled, but it's still solid here

This is actually doing surprisingly well on RYM too. Love to see the jump in the amount of ratings from Schmaltz to this

I want to love this way more than I do. The lyrics are great and are easily the best part of the album, I just wish they were delivered with some more memorable hooks. Gonna keep listening though and hope it continues to grow on me.

It's pretty good, but I can't decide how much the vocals bug me. The wavering voice would work if it was in key moments, but constantly is a bit too dramatic.

im coming around this a lot generation loss is fucking outstanding



kind of a shame so much of the back half still feels samey but those songs are starting to get more identity the more i listen to them (except losers 2 which is probably the best here)

The Trump era has somehow managed to decrease the quality of sociopolitical lyricism from US bands on the whole, with Bad Religion delivering a descent into neoliberal hell last year. AJJ gave a valiant attempt recently, but still had a few missteps, and Brave Faces Everyone takes the exact same bleak optimism and lyrical ideas (right down to practically the same album name taken from a outro) and polishes them to sheen, setting them to a soundtrack of tight, infectious emo-tinged pop-punk. This album seems to be practically made for me, I like political music, but I think its best delivered through a social lens than as attacks against individuals.



Have to admit I can see why some people are turned off by the sometimes over-the-top vocals, but I find it kind more charming than melodramatic and hard not to sing along with.

I love this album but the awkward repeated "afraid of" in the bridge of Losers pt 2 genuinely bugs me enough to stop it being a 5. I don't care if it works lyrically it just sounds so clunky.

I thought it scanned fine, but I totally get having one clunky lyric singlehandedly ruining a song lol

"The wavering voice would work if it was in key moments, but constantly is a bit too dramatic."



And what's funny is that people give Soupy (TWY) relentless shit for this exact same thing, even Fantano criticized him for it. Yet practically no complaints that this dude does it more often and more exaggerated.

The problem with Soupy is not only the "wavering voice", it's just that he sounds like crying all the time. In the new version of Washington Square Park for example, the verses are lowkey unlistenable for me.
