I think I Don't Like Who I Was Then is my favorite.

I'm probably stating the obvious and only read half the comments so maybe it's been mentioned - but I really like the Mountain Goats reference with the first 2 track names. TMG is one of the only bands that really matter in life so whenever someone references them they get a .5 extra rating from me.

While it doesn't best ‘The Greatest Generation’, Pennsylvanian veterans The Wonder Years continue to evolve on 5th LP 'No Closer to Heaven'. Not as immediate as usual, the sextet siphon out more of their pop-punk roots, resulting in a real grower. Dan Campbell's emotional vocals deliver many thought-provoking lyrics, most of which somberly relate to death. While Steve Evetts' rather raw production fits the mood, it does mean that some tracks blur together & don't stick in the memory as much as they should. This record, however, is worth spending time with. Recommended Tracks: I Don't Like Who I Was Then, Cigarettes & Saints, A Song for Ernest Hemingway & I Wanted So Badly to Be Brave.

Why is Slow Dancing With San Andreas a b-side, it's too good to not be on the album.

The audio on the Spotify stream still has not been fixed and this reeeally bothers me.

it's more that the audio volume cuts down in one of the songs, stays that way for a few songs, then randomly cuts back up to normal in one of the other songs. People complained about the initial leak because it did the same thing and it was assumed the rip was just bad, but it was actually an inherent bug in the stream.
