PUP - The Dream Is Over (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 15

need to hear this

 

streaming on NPR.

 

so they closed out their encore with a cover of el scorcho tonight at the record release show. un-fucking-believable.

 

im really loving this record. its my first exposure to this band, so much energy!

 

The show was so good

 

really excited to see them in at the end of June.

 

Saw them do this in February with Jeff rosenstock on vocals and it was perfect and I nearly cried. Glad they're going to keep doing it!

 

this album is so fucking good. their sold out show in Toronto last night was absolutely nuts... i see big things happening for these guys.

their last record release show they played at a venue with literally 1/5th the capacity of the one the show last night was at. crazy jump in popularity for 2 years.

 

Thought I would overlook this because of all the releases but I LOVE this album so much, deserve all the success they get.

Need to see them live so I can shout I SPENT A LONG TIME DOWN IN THE BASEMENT INSTEAD OF ROLLING WITH THE RIFF RAFF

 

Now that the album is officially out I'm going to give you guys my review.

 

your review is being far to modest, this at least deserves 10 fire emojis.

 

i need to relisten, hopefully i'll like it more this time around

still excited to see them live, they always kill it, especially with rozwell playing too

 

It was out of 5s

 

I do firmly believe that the first three tracks are also the three best. Sleep in the Heat is my favorite after that, and then it's up in the air between The Coast, My Life is Over..., Can't Win, and Familiar Patterns. I do enjoy the record, but I'd put it at a 7/10 if I had to assign a pointless number to it. The production sounds... thin? Not sure how to put it, but I think a lot of these songs would benefit from a fuller sound. I do really like this record, but the writing took a step down from the debut for the most part. Guitar work is better than ever.

I'm positive my opinion will bump up after participating in some of these live, though. Can't wait.

I love the section in The Coast of "The lake needs to eat just like all living things, and it's hungry as thin this spring" followed by that guitar part. Awesome mood.

 

Listening to this for the first time in a week, I still really enjoy it. It has the spirited, scathing attitude and swagger thats perfect for summertime.

 

Played Can't Win in the office like 6 times already today and I don't see that stopping any time soon.

 

Looks like your co-workers can't win, they're growing up and they're giving it, it's starting to hurt

 

If this job doesn't kill me, my co-workers will.

 

I like this post

 

Don't quit your day job

 

I don't have one anyways.

 

Any list of favorite songs from this album that doesn't include Old Wounds is objectively wrong.

 

Can't Win is one of my favorite songs in a long time. The chorus is so good.

 

eh I mean
Maybe you don't like that style of hardcore? It's basically a hardcore song

 

Not agreeing with this is objectively wrong
