"Superbloom" is absolutely fantastic, would LOVE more like this on the album. Still a bit fan of "whywhywhy" and "the end" is pretty good. Not fully on board with "rock bottom" or the other three songs from the EP, but overall the album is shaping up nicely

 

saw that the other day, very sad. I wish them the best of luck staying in the band together

 

Love the new song... crazy how they already have 8 of the album's songs on apple music. This has been a band I've been wanting to see for years now. Who knows when that'll be.

 

They are SO GOOD live

I know that doesn't help haha

 

i can't wait for this album i been a fan since they played a 150 cap venue in ct as an opener to the mowgli's and only had an ep out at the time

 

out on Friday! Superbloom and Decide To Be Happy have been my jams recently

 

There's some really great stuff on here, but it's 19 tracks and over an hour long... whoof.

I'm gonna do a second listen soon only to the tracks that aren't on mini bloom so I can get more familiar

 

Title track is ridiculously fucking good.

 

this is very good and ridiculously too long

 

What the fuck. 19 songs? Three albums out today with 15 or more songs. That's too much.

 

I'm kinda surprised ALL the songs from mini bloom made it to the album, other than the end and whywhywhy they probably could have left the other 3 as EP tracks. But whatever, streams I guess.

 

I don't know if I ever really listened to their last one, so it's been a while since I've listened to them, but I thought this was really enjoyable. It is a little long, but I didn't really get bored either, and I'll definitely listen again.

 

I really really enjoy this. I normally struggle with coming back to very long albums for a lot of repeat listens, but this one has been on almost constant rotation. Ghost and Over The Rainbow are early favorites from the new songs (and Ghost gives me major Paramore s/t vibes)

 

There's a lot of strong stuff on here, but there's also some easy "b-side" material. If this was, like.... 12 songs and the rest were a B-sides EP... could be one of the better albums of the year

 

If I’m pretending mini-bloom didn’t exist and that just removing those songs would be the easy solution, I’d probably go:

the end
ghost
whywhywhy
alone
over the rainbow
it’s my turn
find my way home
rock bottom
coming up for air
decide to be happy
3 small words
SUPERBLOOM

 

that's a good list at first look, though most songs I don't quite know by name yet. I'll make my list next time I listen, but the end and whywhywhy are the only two from mini I would keep

 

Add Running in Place and I’m good with that track list. This is like the absolute last band that needs to release a 60+ minute album

 

after a few listens, this is my ALL KILLER NO FILLER playlist. I still like all the other songs, but if this track list was the album it would fuckin BANG front to back

the end
whywhywhy
over the rainbow
it's my turn
rock bottom
oxygen
running in place
decide to be happy
love me true
3 small words
muse
SUPERBLOOM

basically, the second half of this album is way better than the first.

 

I gotta say, been getting more into this album after listening to the lyrics more. Knowing that she and the drummer divorced during the album's creation, and listening to songs like Oxygen and Valentine's Day closer, it's really heavy. I don't understand how they are going to stay in the band together, some sort of Fleetwood Mac situation here.

Anyway, long story short... the songs I didn't like as much at first are growing on me after listening to the lyrics closer.

 

Interesting interview I just found as well
