Yeah that’s a cool tune. I like the way it builds with big backing vocals.

Running in the roar of the wind is just a worse version of Farewell Youth.

You guys gotta stop talking about this non event of an album and check the new Riley! "Keep Your Cool"

I like around 4 or 5 songs off this album. Take It To Heart is the one I find myself going to the most.

My wife really likes the Tom Petty track off this, so we listen to that one a lot. Is that Take It to Heart?

Looping back to say that this is a mediocre record, but Come On Heartache is EXCEPTIONAL

"Some of it was True." Hah I actually felt like a bit of a jerk about it back then and especially now, but No Use for a Name released an album called "Hard Rock Bottom." I called it the hit rock bottom hard album. It had some nice thoughtful songs, but No Use had completely got away from their skate punk or hardcore roots. I still haven't heard that one in awhile, but just knowing what Tony Sly was going through it feels a little different and I did like one of his solo albums enough to buy it much later.

Anyhow. I am only bumping this because I saw this on the front page and I am one of those jerks who really doesn't like slow music or change in a band I am familiar with (not to sidetrack this too much any farther). But there is a point where all I did want was something not too different than what I was used to :/ I may have fell into that trap again, but can appreciate slower stuff. Ok I gotta stop typing here (ya idiot).

My god the new song is boring. I guess that solidifies it for me, this band is done making good material.

Terribly disappointing. I hoped SOIWT was them being lazy and they would bounce back. Hate to say it, but they will never make a 3.5 or higher album ever again

I liked it but I can see how some people might think it's a snoozefest. Really glad they got Will Yip back.

Production is great. But the lyrics are some of their worst, and the instruments are about as bland as they get.

It definitely feels like they’re sliding into consistent mediocrity which is disappointing
