Like idk. It's kind of bland for Jeff. It's a song I would have liked were it not him, but slightly disappointed with his name attached to it.

I like it, but yeah it's a bit closer to generic punk than I've ever seen Jeff go. But still really good



The beginning is practically identical to Fatally Yours by Alkaline Trio though

It was great but seriously that intro is almost EXACTLY the same as Fatally Yours

really different beat, but I know Jeff is a fan of Alk3

anyway everything Jeff has done after Scrambles is pretty close to generic punk but not in a bad way. it's like all the crazy shit he was doing in ASOB and BtMI was leading up to him finally arriving at a focused, tame, stable, trademark sound on Vacation. it's like how people like Mike Kinsella talked about making music when they were young; it relies so much on energy when you're a kid and as you get older you get better at writing great music that doesn't need excessive emotionality to sound great. i'm not saying that i don't prefer the energy-reliant, crazy nutty teenager records but i can definitely recognise that Jeff's a smarter musician than he was in ASOB or BtMI even if his new music isn't necessarily better.

I don't get generic punk from anything he's done before this song though, honestly.

not generic, but tame definitely.

And I was a hard defender of that change. Because like you said, it was a smart change. If he would have kept trying to do

the sound he had done with BTMI for his solo stuff it would have crashed and burned. I think he found the perfect sound for

his post-BTMI days on I Look Like Shit. It was tamer, but the instrumentation was still very much Rosenstock. The only thing

that makes the new song sound like A Rosenstock baby is his voice, and while that's very nice, it leaves something about it

feeling empty.

As long as the new album has a good amout of variability, I wouldn't mind at all if a few songs sound like this. Probably listened to it a good 5 or 6 times already, and I'm digging it hard

I still have high hopes for the new one. Is Allison going to be on it or is it a stand alone single? Anyone know?
