I truly don't get the gripes about the length, it's the breeziest 53-minute album I've heard in a hot minute that's for damn sure
I would always rather have more of a good thing than less. Who cares if I don’t necessarily always listen to the full thing in one sitting. Every song here is fire and that’s what counts.
I'm not saying they should have made the same exact album. To my ears, Somewhere City has an edge both in terms of sequencing and overall cohesiveness, whereas this manages to feel simultaneously disjointed and a bit reptitive. I still really like it!
that's kinda the issue, there's not that much on here that's all that different from what they were doing on there. So 50 more minutes of it is a bit much lol. I feel like they have a lot of potential to explore different sounds and ideas and the moments they do on here are where the album shines the most.
Yeah I disagree about the length. Granted I originally did unintentionally listen to it in 2 sittings, but then played it in full again. Just a fun album
Freaking love this part. I completely disagree with people saying it should be shortened. That's all. It has so many different elements combined from the history of the emo pop punk genre in one sound and I find the songs pretty diversified. Give me more. I tried MO and they use to be my favorite band in METN/ILAV days, their direction is just not my thing. But I keep bopping this.
I think this album is a masterpiece top to bottom. To me it feels like one long song with many different movements, and I think that keeps it interesting because new things stand out each time, and the replayability for me has been absurd (I feel like I don't normally play albums like this to death but this one is just so tight.) I also just cannot get over Self-Destruct and can't remember the last time an "opener" (no disrespect to #GAMIGANG) stuck with me this hard.
over the weekend i was listening to this and something about it seemed so familiar to me but i could not place it this might be it - really good call
