" Ironically, the song is accompanied by a music video, meaning it isn't just sound"

Jesper.

State Chumps lmao

each cycle, i lose more hope that they'll ever churn out anything remotely as good as The Finer Things, but let's be honest, they're never topping that masterpiece

that said, it's pretty solid. not changing the formula hardly at all, but Derek sounds good, the guitars have the crunch they always do. It's as much a pleasant melody as it is....fuck i gotta do it....just sound. It trends toward background noise but it sounds good

3.5/5

edit: lyrically i'm guessing they're trying to nail down the "don't lose hope, things will be okay" shtick that's really become a thing since covid started, but it's pretty damn late to the party

This is so much better than anything off of Living Proof

"This is so much better than anything off of Living Proof"

Definitely not. The production sounds so compressed that any distinctiveness in the lead singer's voice that was audible in the band's first three albums has been ground down into a sound more reminiscent of really generic post-hardcore than pop-punk.
