The songwriting is like Pandora's Pinata on more-crack, every bizarre choice dialed up to 10. And this is a good thing, takes a lot to make me smile on first listen and I was smirking the entire time. Although, the mixing here is downright atrocious, which is a shame. Everything sounds so muddy and pointlessly bass-y, it gets fatiguing to listen to in all honesty. War Painted Valentine, Speed Dating an Arsonist, Malign Monologues, Out Came the Hummingbirds, and Snake Oil Baptism are my favorites
Update 7-11-22: A few weeks after the album released they uploaded a studio video on Instagram playing a completely different mix of "Speed Dating an Arsonist" and it sounds substantially better and entirely different from the album mix. What happened??

If only Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole have had been better mixed, what a loss, but on the
other side, the covert art is brilliant.

Clever album. Sounds gimmicky at first, but if you stick with it, you realize there is actually quite a lot of good songwriting going on

So the album is actually a 4, but the production...

So, the disc has obviously had a very awful creative "choice" in the mixing department. it really drags down a 3-3.5 effort from them, as I think some songs just are a bit filler. It is quite diverse, but the muddy, flat, low quality sound. . . just makes the disc impossible to listen for me. I felt very tired and honestly sad that they decided to ruin very complex arrangements (they are a band of EIGHT members). Feels like Van Gogh doing a painting and then burning it. However, they also decided to sell it this way, which is weird. Pacifisticuffs also had some of these tinges in the mix, but they were not as obvious. which, again, is sad and gives the idea the band really doesn´t do itself any favours.

Both new singles got me extremely excited. Kristin's vocals seem to be meshing better with the band, although that might just be me getting used to them as Pacifisticuffs is more enjoyable now than it was on release.
