    Does it seem crazy to anyone else that this album is almost a year old??

    Hope they put something new out next year and don't wait almost 3 years like they did with this one.

    My wife loves these guys. Got her tickets to their show with Simple Plan. Should be a fun time. Simple Plan puts of a fun show.

    That's a strangely worded statement. Hopefully these guys release new stuff soon.

    They are still touring as a 5-piece. That 5th tour member just won’t be an official part of the band/involved in recording.

    Just finished a listen through this album for the first time in awhile. It's still a fun summery pop-punk album. I'd say this and the new All Time Low album are probably two of my favorite pop-punk albums in the last...at least...5 years.

    Saw these guys open for Simple Plan last Fall. Still fun, but Derek was sound rough. Probably bc it ws the end of the tour though. Anyways, I'm hoping they stick with the LP quality but try some experimental sounds and writing like ATL did with Wake Up, Sunshine. These guys have something like that in them, but the idea of them throwing out another standard pop-punk album like their last two makes me nervous for them haha.

    Derek has sounded really good on the couple of occasions I've caught them, so a bit worrying he sounded rough.

    Agree they need to change it up slightly. Last album was fine, but I don't go back and listen to it. Very forgettable.

    Last album is definitely their weakest

    Sidelines, Frozen, and Cut Through the Static are some of my favorite State Champs songs in general, but the rest is definitely forgettable. Looking at their Spotify streaming stats with Spotify for Artists it seems like they've hit a plateau listener-wise this album cycle. Hoping they get some hype behind this next record release.

    Side note, it seems like this album came out forever ago even though it hasn't even been two years yet

    No one seems to ever talk about the fact that the wait between ATWAB and LP was almost 3 years. I think it's an overall solid album but I expected more due to that.
     
  21. Is it consensus that this newest is their weakest? I really dislike their second record but thought this was a nice return to form with solid hooks. Nothing special, but great sing-a-longs.

    Frozen is the only song on their latest that I can consistently return to. It was a fine album but hopefully they try some new things out on their next.
