I got this in my queue so I'll get to it eventually. Don't have much context on their last album personally so I might do that first.

Yeah, t/t is one of the best here. The last half of the album in particular excels.

"what the fuck frank this sounds like some kinda heavier arctic monkeys"



Could not agree more, I mean I like some of God is my friend, jackals and the titel track, but that's about it for me.



I really wanted this album to be great, but I must confess it just doesn't stay with me at all.

This turned out waaaay better than I expected, I'm loving this right now. One thing that bothers me to no end after repeated listens is the way Wild Flowers cuts off, sounds really awkward. Good review dude, have a pos

After the initial shock, I'm really digging this.



Don't know why, but I feel some Arctic Monkeys vibes from this record; angrier and more inspired than today's Arctic Monkeys.



Really good.



edit: just saw the other comments saying the same thing. Totally agree.

I'm really enjoying this, but why does the wild flowers chorus look like it was written by a 13 year old having just discovered rhymezone.com?



We picked daisies and I made a chain

Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane

Great review man!



Personally, I absolutely LOVED the first Rattlesnakes album. It helped me through a very difficult time of my life. But I really like how they try different things on Modern Ruin. Franks voice is absolutely fantastic. I love the melodies and the combination of different styles.



But yeah, there'll be lot of people who won't like this album. I guess Frank knew the risks when he decided to make an album like that. It's more "indie rock" than "hardcore punk". But why the fxck not?

I thought Blossom was awesome, while this is a big change I feel the songs are mostly good enough to not be too cynical about the new sound, on first listen. I think the middle four songs were noticeably weaker but still enjoyed it a lot overall.

Loved Blossom. So far kind of unsure about this though. I don't necessarily think it's bad.. it just isn't all that appealing to me compared to their first record

First half is so so mostly but the latter kicks fucking ass. And Wild Flowers is amazing.
