I cry everytime I listen to Persevere. Having lost my faith and witness people close to me experience real pain in the last few years, the song hits way too close to home.

It's over long and not everything resonates with me but there's enough here that it has the potential to resonate in a special way with just about anyone

cut down a few things here and I'm sure i'd have it at 4. Respect the record but it never clicked with me like everyone else

it’s sappy af, but the “my sad, sweet, and unfinished friend” phrase in Say Yes to Life gets me eeeeevery fucking time.

Tbh I've never felt this as being too long. The guys clearly had quite a lot to say and everything clicked with me.

Spinning this again. It is truly one of a kind. Moving me all over again.

I wouldn’t say this overly long and I wouldn’t even necessarily say that there are weak tracks, but the strongest tracks are so amazing that it makes the not as strong ones seem weak. If that makes any sense at all. Say Yes to Life is a definite song of the decade contender though! 4.4/5

Say Yes To Life, Achilles Come Down, Let Me Down Easy, The Heart Is A Muscle...all unforgettable songs.

Yeah it was time to finally 5 this. This album is not quite perfect, but damn if it isn't an emotional experience and a nearly flawless release.

cut "achilles" in half and add three more minutes to "persevere"



then this album would be perfect

There's only two songs that don't floor me, but are still great, and the instrumentals aren't entirely necessary, but yeah this album is amazing. technically a 4.8, but I'm okay with rounding up this one. It deserves it.

Tbh, the overlong tracks and interludes and so on are part of the charm of this record. Really shamelessly ambitious, which is obscenely rare in the rock scene here in Australia. So many other Aussie bands at the moment just making 'chill' music meant to be as impersonal and lazy as possible, lol, I was surprised this one blew up as much as it did.

dude don't get me started, people just riding the hockey dad wave of chill surfer tunes is getting a bit tired.
