I need a new set of teeth after listening to this.

 

let's fucking go

 

New song rules.

This one is going to be huge from what I've heard!

 

Hell of an album cover, hell of a lead single.

 

this album slaps btw

hail taxi is one of my favorites and I'm glad it's the second single

 

Happy face melting day.

 

Listened to this last night and it was great. Will definitely be getting more spins soon.

 

On first listen, I can confidently say this is leaps and bounds better than Strange Peace. I still wish they took a few more gambles in expanding their sound because I think this album proves it works when they do. The Fugazi influence in "Hail Taxi" makes it one of my favorites and the Jesus Lizard-like angular guitar on "Draw Us In" is noteworthy as well. The rest of it is more Metz by the numbers which is still better than most bands but still leaves you wanting a little more.

 

Skimmed through this the other day and it sounds really good. Gonna give it a proper listen at some point.

I have a rip of the Atlas Vending performance if anyone wants it dm me

 

A Boat to Drown In is my favorite track this year. Dunno how to explain it but the zoned out bridge is really hypnotizing.

 

This album is in my top 5 of 2020 and is their best in my opinion

 

A year to the day since I said this and I still haven't haha. I am, however, starting with their first album now and working my way through their discography in order. If the first couple of tracks of the first album are anything to go by, I may not have a face by the time I get to this album, though.

 

dope song

 

Oh baby they never disappoint.

 

New project from Alex

 

Weird Nightmare LP out today folks.
