Album Rating: 3.0

Nice review! Yeah I’ve been stuck between a 3-3.5 with this but those songs you mention in the third paragraph are about the only ones I seem to be coming back to. I liked the album before this a lot better

Album Rating: 3.5

Agreed, Physical Thrills was vastly superior.



This isn't bad by any stretch, but it's not particularly interesting.

I feel crazy seeing all these comments of people retconning their last albums reception. I dug it but I don’t remember anyone praising it much. This feels much like a continuation to me, even in the album covers.

Album Rating: 3.5

PT actually became one of my favorite SSPU records

So at least for me it's not as large a criticism of this album as it seems when I say this fell short. I still like this album enough, and it might grow on me just like PT did.

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah, PT was in my top 5 for 2022 and is either my 4th or 5th fave SSPU.

this is surely a continuation but it's noticeably weaker (still great!)

Album Rating: 3.5

Album Rating: 3.5

love the similar picks!!!



Scared Together isn't too far off mine, the switch up ALWAYS hypes me up!!

Just downloaded all 3 albums for my flight this afternoon. Will revisit them and see how they stack up. I am guessing: PT > This > WW, BUT who knows maybe my thoughts will have changed.

PT I liked around as much as their first 4 albums which I thought were all SIGNIFICANTLY better than WW.

Album Rating: 3.5

same boat Feather!!

I owe WW a relisten though
