Wow, this is RIGHT up my ally!

Good review, Omaha. POS'd.
I'll check some of the songs out on youtube.

"Maybe it was also that we were listening to Shpongle while drinking the second most expensive coffee in existence...
still awesome."

Shpongle with anything is awesome.


"hey jacob u the man"

Thanx Sam! That's right, I'm a creepy FB mezz stalker and I dun give a fuck!


"I'd kinda prefer everything to be less tight and the singer to start smoking 20 a day. Talented band though no doubt."

Hey dude, we have Trophy Scars for that.


"would I like this?"
Only one way to find out - I posted a couple songs in my first comment, chegg it. :]


Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

this normally isn't my kind of thing, but this rules pretty hard. can't decide on a score, though. on

one hand there's incredibly catchy songs like Swimming With Weights and Tag! No Bases. on the other

some of the tunes dip hard in quality.

jesus... those vocals... bleh. i also don't really see the ttng comparison at all.

The TTNN comparison, at least on my end, existed solely because they both pride themselves on structural complexity. Their music isn't similar, but the way they write it is.

this would be great to me if they didn't repeat the chorus/hook part like 4 times every song. riffs get too repetitive. this with gatsby's american dream progressiveness would be amazing

Interesting - although repetition is definitely a big part of their stuff, I'd never think of it as detrimental.

it never really bothers me too much with pop punk cause the chorus is usually catchy, which is the case here as well, i just feel as if they have the technical proficiency to do much more. but very fun album regardless.

I gotcha, man. Have any other pop-punk albums you would recommend? I need to hear more of it for sure.

On a side note, nobody's wished me a happy 50th?! *sadface*

Hahaha. Potato's spot-on.

Heh. I was in gymnastics until I was 6 or 7 - ladies dig the limber gentlemen.

I'm not limber at all anymore, which is why that's funny.

Ooh, I would like this album!

Thx 4 the rec, man

Very informative and well written review, man! Gonna have to check this out when I get off

Album Rating: 3.5

That album cover is gorgeous, is this on spotify?

Holy fuck people are actually talking about Icarus the Owl on sputnik. Was going to write my first review on their debut but I don't know anymore.

Recs: Their debut and ep are free on their website. I don't know about this though since I haven't been there in forever.
