Oh my god. This song put me under. I'm emotionally drained. Jesus, this might be the best track they've ever put out.

The problem with TWY singles is their songs are best experienced in relation to other songs on the album. Madelyn for example is a perfectly passable track without context.

Instrumentation seems more complex on these two tracks then previous albums. Could be that I just need to spend more time with them.

Madelyn is perfectly passable in general. I often start on track one and go all the way through, but always skip that one. In fact, I don't even know if I have that song on my phone the first place. Probably don't lolol

Great song. Love the musicianship in this, is it even fair to call these guys pop punk anymore? They sound like a straight-ahead indie rock band now.

One of the few pop-punk bands that I enjoy. This song and the video are emotional and intense. Judging by the two singles, this will be a fantastic and more complex follow-up to their last one and that's truly great news.

@kenbo apparently their old tour manager helped cover up a sexual assault case or something so they fired him but mad ap users are upset that they haven't spoken about it.

Jesus Christ, they just get better and better with every album. I fell in love with Suburbia when it came out, and then when The Greatest Generation dropped, I wasn't sure if they would ever be able to top it. Between this and Cardinals, I think they just might. Absolutely stoked for this record.

In speaking of context, this song seems to be in relation to Cardinals

"We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers "

and "You can't help you're friends, you can't help your brothers, you can't help me"
