idk how Jeff does it but hes so good at writing really diverse songs that still feel like they fit right in with the rest of his catalog. he strikes me as being unafraid to try anything but smart enough to know when something doesnt work and changing/scrapping it.
FUCK New Jeff Rosenstock and new Author records today. It's been 2018 for 9 hours and I'm already behind!
Yeah no surprise but this is absolutely fantastic. Reading through the lyrics, it feels like a pretty direct sequel to WORRY. thematically. The short songs are very catchy and the long songs are weird and diverse and exciting. Excited to spend the rest of the day listening to this.
Would love to see Jeff get the recognition he deserves this time around. This release should get way more immediate pub than WORRY did. Would love to see a BNM.
I respect this so much for being so different from Worry. It’s less polished but not in a bad way and still very very cohesive.
I was definitely curious how Jeff would top the spectacle of the WORRY-ending medley, but it turns out he just wrote some damn great songs that really speak to the times we're living in. USA and Let Them Win are as ambitious as anything he's ever released, and 9/10 is an early favorite. Love this thing.
