    I've fully done a 180 from not liking the song live, to thinking it's better on record, to it being stuck in my head all week, and now I'm obsessed

    It’s such an earworm. Still reeling from The Butcher’s dance moves in the vid. The dudes in this band really seem like family vibes and this is one of the better comebacks so far related to vibes good vibes and not a lot of pretense.

    Feel it just with the single. Can’t wait and very happy to hear the full recording has a similar impact.

  10. "Miracle" out next week. My least favorite song on the album, mostly because it's kind of an outlier soundwise :crylaugh: - but still good.

    I was just thinking today that we had to be due for another single soon. Excited to hear it, 2005 has really grown on me and I can say I truly love it now.

    I’m very excited to hear this whole record front to back. I will reserve any judgements until I hear the whole thing. Excited to hear the next single though.

    2005 is played daily if not a couple times. The anticipation is growing.

    Prefer this over 2005 but hearing it’s an outlier sound wise is a low key bummer lol

    Still not excited for this record and I love all their previous records so I’m really hoping this ends up clicking with me come March.

    Yes. 2/2 with me. Indeed, sounds like a warm spring day (or a 60 degree winter morning, which is my current experience).

    This one definitely feels a little more like them picking up where they left off. This would've made a lot of sense as a lead single to a Fast Times follow up. Makes sense it's an outlier, but I'm glad we got at least one like this. My hype is really starting to climb for the album

    I'm excited for this record so damn much. This and the new Flatliners record are my most anticipated for the year

    This is feeling more and more like how I felt about Acceptance's Colliding By Design, a comeback album that was one of my top of the year because of how crazy fun and cool it was

    These two songs sound much more genuine and less contrived as some of the fast times stuff. Still very poppy, but just feels like there’s more heart. So happy they are active again. Can’t wait for release day.
