I consider Would You Miss It? to be one of the best pop punk records of the last 10+ years so following up on that record properly was a tall order and unfortunately.. I don’t think they did it. I like a few tracks like It Happens to the Best of Us, What I’m Worth, Pace and Loiter, and Irreversible (even if that riff is a straight up rip off of Bonecrusher by Senses Fail lol) but a lot of this is just fine but sounds like a band on autopilot idk but this a bummer for me..
Yea I think it’s a little catchier than the first album overall, especially Jet Stream Wish, what a banger
This album is definitely good. It has been hard to tell if I like it more than their last. Koyo has always felt like a vibe band, it is really hard to tell songs apart and I don't find myself remembering THAT song, but while I am listening I have a good time, but then its over and I move on. I will say I enjoy the turning up of the relentlessness of this album with tracks jumping directly into the next especially the last several songs.
Yeah, there were a couple times where I was like "damn this song is long." Then I looked and I was 1:40 into the next track haha.
“Jet stream wish” is a 10/10 track I would have written in sharpie as the opening to a burned CD I was giving to a girl I met at a 500 cap show, and that’s one of the deepest compliments in my well.
