I'm very surprised at how many positive reviews there are for this album. If you became a fan of The Wonder Years before this record, you should be disappointed. DavidCall360 writes "not as good as their last two albums" and proceeds to rate it as a 9/10 which is extremely generous... I really don't find any of the songs to be very diverse or that original compared to No Closer To Heaven or The Greatest Generation. Most of the riffs and chord progressions are very generic, there aren't enough hooks or catchy melodies in any of the songs for them to be memorable. I'm almost 100% positive they worked really hard on this record but it comes off as a lazy written album. To be blunt, I find all the songs on this album to be very boring. If you gave No Closer To Heaven a 9/10, this is nowhere near that. I'm hoping they redeem themselves with their next album but it sucks that they're probably going to play a bunch of jams from this album on tour for the next year or so.

Production is still awful. I like a handful of tracks on this though. lol Buttboy, you don't think there's any chance that they've heard of Agalloch? I'm not saying they ripped them off, don't really even know what you guys are referring to, but Agalloch aren't exactly kvlt statvs.

sure, but they're still black/post metal from the other side of the country. as far as I'm aware, none of the TWY guys are into anything like that. even if they've heard the name, they've probably never listened at all

The songs I liked sounded monumental and gigantic, and I found myself skipping everything else to get to them...Those songs are a part of me now, and I can only wish that I had loved them sooner.




This is perfect. It's exactly how I feel about the Wonder Years. Their albums steadily grow on me with every spin.

production on that first track is so bad that I'm not sure I've ever made it to track 2. haven't checked if I've rated this anyway tho.

Losing My Religion, is now available on Spotify. The Wonder Years version that is. It's worth checking if you hadn't already.

It came out on Amazon ages ago. It's fine. Far worse than basically any track they've produced in the last three albums they've written.

Just came across the Dutch version of The Wonder Years. A band called Bounds of Modesty.

Check Casement Window off their album The Family We Choose.

No thank you. I do NOT need another band that sounds like this. I have already collected too many.
