Circadian Rhythms and Nightlight are the best on here

Album Rating: 2.5

this is kinda boring

Album Rating: 4.5

"Could grow to a 4 because I love these guys so much, but I don't think it's objectively better than a 3.5. It's pretty, even stunning at times, but it never really takes off and capitalizes on the atmosphere it builds. That part of things is mildly disappointing, but if you think of this the way the rating was intended, "great", then I think it fits my description aptly. It's a very good album that falls just short of excellence. "



You've been taking the words out of my mouth recently haha.

Also what's the problem with Friendly Fires? I love the atmosphere/vocals there

"Pins & Needles"....if you have time



IF YOU HAVE TIME?!?!?!?!



Did you miss how infectiously bouncy and fun that track was? =[

Album Rating: 3.5

Pins & Needles is definitely a highlight, agreed.

Album Rating: 3.5

That summary is on all the points.



Who am I kidding, this album is growing so hard. Not sure if my rating will change though.

Album Rating: 3.0

Really nothing special about this record at all.

After I heard neck of the woods I instantly thought it was their best so far and thought I would love it, but it sunk like a stone. I only listened to it a handful of times and haven't went back to it. I hope this has the opposite effect, Swoon is my favourite thus far

Album Rating: 1.5

Always something a bit second rate about the Pickups but this...this... has no redeeming features at all

One of the worst albums I've heard this year

Album Rating: 4.0

It's a really good album, but I'm disappointed by the direction they've taken. A bit too electronic for my taste. It's no surprise after Neck (which I also liked), but I kinda wish they'd put more guitars in their music. That said, it's probably going to end up a 3.5, like all of their discog. I feel like the quality is more evenly spread between tracks with every new album.

Great review

This album really surprised me

The difference between bandcamp's indie and >2013's metalcore cover arts is marginal.

A LITTLE WASTED ON DESIRE

Album Rating: 2.5

I'm a huge fan of this band, but I'm not fond of the electronic stuff I heard from the last album. I'm probably going to pass on this one.

Album Rating: 4.0

I would at least give it a listen or two...it may surprise you and if you're a fan of SSPU there's going to at least be a couple of songs on here that you'll enjoy. It's not like Brian just ditched his guitar either though, as much as people are making it seem.

Album Rating: 2.5

^ Cool. I'll download it and give it a spin then. I love the shit out of Carnavas and Swoon.

Album Rating: 4.0

Awesome, I'm intrigued to see what you think of the album honestly.

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah I mean this is another step towards electronic stuff, but there's still a fair element of classic SSPU...by no means an album to skip over, I actually put it on par with Swoon
