This is basically the s/t with its defaults being more exposed. Despite containing the band's hugest hit ("Twin Size Mattress"), it doesn't fully manage to balance its different elements - anthemic parts, emo bittersweetness, acoustic rambles, and at-times-cringy-at-time-clever lyrics - as well as the precedent record.

Listened to the album again and not as pleased with it as I am with their self titled.

Some songs don't work as well as they could. But the ones that do are so catchy and easy to relate to that you won't forget them until the day you die.

Good follow up to their self-titled. Not quite as good but still a very enjoyable album to listen to.

Pretty great, first half of the album is far better than the latter half though.

If you're just discovering TFB through this album, I could see why you like it. I became a huge fine through their self-titled album, and was rather disappointed with this one after a few listens.rFirst off, upon first listen it sounds over produced. That is a damn shame, because their best feature is their raw, blunt sound.rSecond, some of the lyrics are god awful. Specifically, Santa Monica. "Sometimes I cry, when I get sad" Really? That's real deep guys. Additionally, the chorus "Emotional baby boy. Emotional man. I am emotional" I cannot believe someone actually wrote a song and used the statement "I am emotional" in it. The whole point of art and poetry is to avoid having to use the that phrase. Another poor song is Lone Star, which attempts to tell a story in a far too blunt, un-clever, uninteresting way.rNegatives aside, while it's not necessarily what I had hoped for, I think it is still a good step toward success for the band. There are gems on the record. 'Skeleton' is a fun song about nothing more than smoking weed. 'Backflip' is an upbeat song with clever "bring young" lyrics, and an classic Front Bottoms sound. Certain songs just give out the "We're trying hard to not try that hard" vibe. I'm excited to see what's next for these guys.

This is definitely a contender for AOTY. This needs more attention.

Catchy, loud and full of energy, Talon of the Hawk is one of the best follow-ups this year even if it doesn't fall very far from the band's first album.

Album is fun as hell and the coke bottle vinyl is very very pretty. Their best work so far as far as I'm concerned.
