Just finished my first listen and at least on a musical level this is easily their most accomplished record. Love all the odd time signatures they use on this thing. Also it has hooks to burn. SO good.
City is probably the standout track for me, especially because I am so fucking excited to get out of the city I'm in.
all the songs are very straightforward meaning wise although having a little trouble with the title track. I said, "I don't know what you want me to say" I stood by watching as your world went up in flames When you tried everything But the feeling stays the same You had it all, you pissed it away Anyone know what Stefan is referring to, maybe has explained in an interview or something? And then in the outro the twist is that it's him who has pissed it all away?
I don't know if he's explained it word for word, but it strikes me as the experience of still being depressed no matter how many things are going right in your life.
Album is awesome. I think it falls off a little bit after Full Blown Meltdown, which on first listen might be one of my favorite songs I've ever heard. No hyperbole either, that shit slays so hard
