This is definitely one of the best pop punk bands around. They come into their own with the next two albums and they hit hard.

wasted mind fuckin annoys me. like brainless god struck a perfect balance between punk raging and poppy hooks but wasted mind leans waaaay too far towards the latter.
the hooks, melodies and whatever unconventional instrumentation the band throws in sounds super cliched. some of it sounds like it was lifted outta popular 80s rock or something but the band doesnt rlly give their own interesting spin on it. they just kinda utilise superficial elements over their normal songwriting which just ends up making the album sound like old direct hit but watered waaaay down. the super polished production and weak tempos have that effect too. and lemme say "paid in brains" and "promised land" annoy me so much; the main vocal idea on the former sounds kinda like "one way or another" by blondie and the latter seems like its tryna be some stadium rock anthem but somehow im entirely unconvinced by it. "hospital for heroes" is kinda like a mix of what annoyed me about the two tracks preceding it; unconvincingly anthemic and annoying hook.
as for tdio, its got some real energy to it but in comparison to self-titled the songwriting ideas just seem comparatively uninspired. i think pup is a band that needs memorable ideas in addition to their manic energy to reach their true potential but it feels like theres a bit of a lack of the former on tdio. imo that seems to be partly a consequence of the songs on tdio being relatively less melodic in comparison to self-titled; the melodies on "old wounds", "the coast", "my life is over" all feel pretty flat. i remember gushing over the self-titled but feelin that this band needed to surpass it and imo they didnt.

Got an e kit recently so that I can drum again for the first time since the end of high school 4 years ago. I remembered right away that I always wanted to learn Woke Up Older and hot damn that song is fun to learn

I'm a lousy drummer but man Came Out Swinging is fun to fake my way through. I'm going to have to switch to e kits when I move into an apartment so, got any recs?
as time goes on Hoodie Weather might be becoming my favorite song on this album overall; as a native of the same area as Soupy it just hits so close to home, literally.
still the best TWY album, fight me

yea agreed it's the best one
on TGG it feels like they mastered their sound a lil more but it also feels slightly safer and more one-dimensional. this one's more dynamic and better for it
