It's Brand New covering the most boring grunge hits of the 90s.

I'm kind of glad to see these emo-revival buzz bands from 2012-2013 start fade into irrelevancy. I used to love this type of stuff when I was 16, but I just find it boring now.

Youth is just as boring as this is.



That being said, RFC seems to recognize that the emo-revival (or whatever) trend is dying and they're signing bands that aren't associated with that scene

Awww man i really enjoyed Youth, but this just sounds so boring and stale. Big disappointment.

youth had stuff like drawn out and sleep, this is just a homogenous set of pretentious twaddle with no bangers

The opener was kinda sweet iirc but total melodramatic snoozefest afterward

Out of all the bands doing this 90's sadboi sound these guys are the least interesting.
Anthony Fantano's review pretty much sums it up.
They just don't have the songwriting skills to rip off the bands that inspired the album. Even the Daisy moments are hamfisted and lame.
Also, what's with the dead sounding chords they keep dumping in this? It's like they want every chord to sound as boring as possible.
At least Hyperview had some excellent songwriting and production. This is so....nothing.

This wasn't good but this was way better than any of that boring generic pop-punk shit their past albums were. At least I can listen to My Favorite Color and Yellow Love.

This is about as fun as a V Line train ride to Adelaide (that's fucking boring btw). Their pop punk stuff was at least kind of (still very tr00) fun.

This album has grown so much on me.

Dug the use of feedback on it, despite how superficial it was

I really dig Yellow Love's video

Opening track sounds like a Brand New b side (and a bad one at that). Idk, this is the most inoffensive album they have done

Album Rating: 2.5

Stain and Ten are pretty much the same bad song. Yellow Angels was alright. My Favorite Color was alright in a shittier Brand New song sort of way. Ten and Ring of Pain's verse drumming pattern are exactly the same, which is either some laziness that I haven't seen in a good long time, or perhaps a shitty attempt at trying to make the album sound more cohesive.

"A shittier Brand New" is quite possibly the most cruel way to describe any band ever.

I'm curious as to what the implication is there
