SUGAREGG starts off hot and never seems to cool off while still remaining interesting throughout all 12 tracks over 38 minutes. Alicia Bognanno's vocals are the focal point for much of the record bringing a nice mix of cleans, bright falsettos and a yelled punk delivery with a nice bit of rough texture to it. She leaves seemingly nothing behind in the vocal booth and her vocals really add a huge dose of personality to this record. The first two tracks showcase this very well with more of a punk driven approach in 'Add It On' and the wonderful extended chorus on 'Every Tradition' displaying all of the different vocal styles. Outside of the vocals, the songwriting and guitar work are nothing to sneeze at. The guitars are very effective with a mixture of bright leads and standard indie/punk chord progressions. Each song seemingly has a well constructed melody on the lead guitar that sets a great backdrop for the singing. The songwriting is a lot of verse chorus verse that you find in this genre but many of those verses and choruses contain multiple parts creating effective, energetic buildups which always seem to transition very nicely into the section following. Having not visited this record for months it still feels incredibly fresh and is one of the better offerings of 2020.

In many ways, I should enjoy this. It is well written, well played, and interesting indie rock and power pop. However, on further listens this album gets very stale and dry. From the very similar writing to the very peppy vocal deliveries. In some ways, this is still a solid album with some really solid tracks, but this is very much another power-pop album that fails to reach what I really want from the genre.
