I'm a homer but I don't like comparing the albums. It's a near perfect discography and none of the albums are similar while also never veering away from what makes this band special. Whatever mood I wake up in could make any of them "my favorite" that particular day. There are very few bands I feel this way about.
Every time I hear Enjoyment I think it's the best track this band's ever made. Record is something special. Love when you hear a band's new album and you're more excited to hear that stuff live than the ones you've been hearing for years.
I put all 4 full lengths in a playlist over the weekend and hit shuffle. Such a fun way to listen to their discography. Everything sounds so different but at the same time sounds right at home.

underrated. Just did this and it’s pretty sweet. Will get more mileage out of the new album and actually love when they pop in. Cheers!
Easily one of my AOTY's I think in this day and age, it's rare to have a record that feels like a band playing in the room. Feels very organic. Interested what kind of influences they channeled on this one.
I’ve been having a blast with this album on my drives this week. Pivot has been stuck in my head all day.
Surprisingly really enjoying this after a few listens this past week, one of the best pop punk releases I've heard this year
I wonder if we'll get any more of those cool live acoustic versions like we did for the singles - Kenny played "Granted" acoustic at the holiday shows last year, so there is precedent.
Not that anyone is trashing this, but I am surprised how many people have called the album same-y. Yes, the production is raw throughout, but I was instantly taken by all the distinctive melodies throughout the whole thing. Feels like a roller coaster. I also love Will Yip so that could help. Anyway, I've always been a casual TSL listener but this is one of my favorites of the year.
I need an update on the vinyl! Already got my Taylor vinyl and Yellowcard will probably come before I even hear from TSL at this rate
