Idk how this is any less emotionally mature, the lyrics are just a bit weirder.

It's plenty mature, just doesn't seem to be quite on the level of SWB in that way

I think id take "why did you listen to that man, that mans a balloon" over "me i am wide awake, feeling defeated / i say your name, i say im sorry / we just got nothin left to say"



SWB definitely has some lyrical gems in true Berninger fashion, but it also has the most basic bitch lines in their discography, except for maybe their debut, i cant remember any lyrics from that piece of shit though.

'Humiliation' and 'Demons' are 5s for me along with Pink Rabbits, This is the Last Time and of course Slipped.



Fireproof is great at being a sort of 'just a bit more than an interlude' tune, it sounds perfect in the track order to me. The first half of 'Heavenfaced' is great too. The weakest the album gets is the second half of 'Heavenfaced'...that really isn't all that much of a weakness.



Still think it's their most satisfying album overall.

The lyrics lift 'Demon's from a 4/5 tune to a 5/5 I'll admit
