Grey Guitar is the biggest standout track to me after several listens. Love the Alkaline Trio-esque chorus. Well, Whatever It Was and the title track are the weak point of the album, not that they're bad but they sound like something you'd hear in Steven Universe.

This isn't going to rank above Never Hungover again nor S/T but damn it's good. Really love After All You Put Me Through and Mark Chen a lot too. I feel like some of the guitar work here is a nice step up from their past material, especially in The Opossum.

interesting, I'm feeling the exact opposite lol. Well, Whatever It Was (and the first half of the album in general) is the standout for me but I'm not really feeling Grey Guitar. Shout out to The Opposum tho, banger

rock solid album, definitely much more musically interesting than the last two. decent amount of variety for a short album and the vocals are way more energetic which i missed. first half really carries though. mark chen and all my friends are def my favs. i like when they go full weezer like well whatever it was as well.



opossum is my fav on the back half. just great melodies and jangles on here balanced with the right tempo this time. they are just way better uptempo. i still prefer cody but this was enjoyable. sucker for their style. glad these guys are still around. 1 mil listeners on spotify kinda blew my mind. good for them.

okay, listened to 40oz and Million Dollars To Kill Me. both had some big highlights but def felt weaker than this as a whole so yeah, this wins. could make a truly stellar tracklist with the highlights from the 3 of them i bet

million dollars is a mega snoozer (big lie tho) but fresno was solid. agree this is the more consistent though. this captures a bit of their early energy with their later stuff. a fun blend.
