^I agree after a few listens. It is quite boring. A majority of these songs literally repeat the same melody for an entire track.

The initial hype wore off quite quickly.

why does the vocalist's style scream 2010s? seems a lot of modern bands sing in the same exact way

every time I look at the album cover I see someone being hung off a tree instead of the person reaching for the branch

is that on purpose?

That's just because you're viewing the smaller image of the album. A larger image makes it pretty clear but, I do see what you mean.

"Brand New stole this Cd's thunder for me"

For now, I prefer this one.

Both are 5's on my book, but this edges Brand New's record by the smallest of margins. The emotional punch is bigger with this one.

"I wanna feel the way our fathers felt when it swept them off their feet, I wanna know about that higher love you saw that can't be seen.



The only obvious equation: you believe it or you don't"



holy shit



Give me a minute while I put myself back together after that

yeah nateman that was the moment i realized that this album was something else. The Grocery is top 3 for this band



and yeah it's sort of unfortunate that Science Fiction dropped after this, but fortunately they're both great. I'll give the nod to Brand New on this one though

ngl I love the first three (sometimes four) tracks and the closer is one of the best songs I've heard all year, but everything else in between on here is a blur even after like 5 or 6 listens
