What an absolutely delightful album. I almost 5'd it, but it does lose a bit of steam in the middle. Still, these guys are excellent.

Still hits as hard after a decent break. Definitely deserverving of a top of 2017 slot.

yea which is crazy to think considering two of my top 10 bands dropped their best records in 2017 (glassjaw and menzingers) but this is absolutely jawdropping

8-10 bored me a bit. They aren't bad tracks or anything, just kind of boring. I skip Achilles

fr? rip man



deepest sighs is such an emotional rush mane. def the emotional climax of the record for me, with our time is short as like a comedown and say yes perfectly wrapping everything up

Not exactly but Let Me Down Easy and What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out are probs #1 and #2 for me. Our Time Is Short, Persevere, and Say Yes are least faves soooo...

The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows and Say Yes to Life are the top tier tracks on this.



Deepest Sighs takes the cake for me, the way it builds up and explodes is fantastic, when the drums kick in, guitars pick up speed, the vocals soar, perfect song.

In my review I said The Deepest Sighs is one of the best rock songs of the Millenium, and I haven't changed that stance.

1. Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane (5, SOTY)

2. Fear and Trembling (5)

3. Let Me Down Easy (5)

4. Say Yes to Life (5)

5. Persevere (5)

6. The Heart is a Muscle (4.5)

7. Achilles Come Down (4.5, sometimes it's as high as #3 for me)

8. Keep Me In the Open (4)

9. What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out? (4)

10. Our Time Is Short (3.5)

11. Atlas Drowned (3.5)

12. The Deepest Sighs (3.5)

went ahead and 5'd this already, it's just too consistently great to not 5
