Album Rating: 4.5
I know that a lot of these reviews are a reaction against the hype train that has been rolling along since this album was announced, but really, I don't understand how someone could dislike "Cigarettes and Saints." IMO it's the best song the band has ever written.
I still don't know if this is better than TGG, although I will admit that my expectations were probably a little high. And honestly, everyone probably hyped this a little too much. But after two full listens, I can't imagine this dropping below a 4. There are enough fantastic songs to lift the album, even if the rest of it doesn't hold up.
And I don't think the stereotype of all TWY fans as high schoolers is accurate. I'm out of college and I love this band.

I'm not against the hype train, I just don't understand what happened mixing wise where this album is piss quality.

the actual songs have some amazing tunes. cigarettes is wonderful, cardinals is a banger, you in January is extremely emotional and Patsy Cline is a nice, dark and frank tune. the problem is the mixing is nowhere near consistent and it makes playing the whole album front to back feel chunky to me. the drums sound like a toy on 'the bluest things on earth.'

Who the fuck keeps saying that TWY fans are high schoolers? I can't imagine any of their lyrics (even on The Upsides) being relevant to anyone younger than college age. This isn't Real Friends we're talking about here.
Also Treb's review is going to be shit (I'm talking LambsBread's review of To Pimp a Butterfly quality) which makes it unfortunate that it will probably be featured forever.

I don't like this as much as the last album but it's still quite good. Thanks For The Ride is an early favorite, and all three singles are great. Stained Glass Ceilings starts out great but I don't like the guest vocalist guy toward the end, it feels too disjointed and out of place. And the album definitely isn't as interesting after that track.
There's a lot of good guitar playing on this record. TWY still don't need three guitarists at all, but whoever is playing the lead parts is writing some really nice stuff.

I don't want treb reviewing this. He's just salt for some trivial and arbitrary elitist music snob reason and the review would be totally subjective.

So I've listened to this about seven times now and I have to agree ^^^.
TGG is pretty much without flaw in my eyes and the production on this keeps it from ascending to any higher levels.
Edit: went back and saw you were talking about suburbia, oh well
