The Starting Line - Eternal Youth (September 26, 2025) • Page 9

pumped

 

2/2. Different turn for them compared to SOH and other stuff since it's not super wordy-lyrical. Won't top SOH for me, but I have a feeling when this album comes out it'll just be on repeat for me. Would love if the album itself was this varied and intentional between all the tracks. Trying not to listen again and wait.

 

Love this one even more than the first song

 

they're my favourite pop punk band but i don't like anything after direction.

 

This song is pretty sick but I'm not sold on the production/mixing here

 

Yeah the bridge is my favorite part and I love how the rest builds up to it. Some of Kenny's catchiest songwriting as well. That hook is already stuck in my head and I like that the instrumentation supporting it isn't typical wall of guitar pop-punk stuff. Instead, the vibe feels more in line with OG emo. It's interesting how much their new stuff constrasts from Direction's poppy sound. Everything sounds grittier, love that for them.

 

The vocal mix makes me worry a little bit for the full album.

 

that chorus omg

i'm okay with the mix, but when i imagine how much more i'd like this if it had the same amount of gloss as 'direction', it makes me yearn a little

 

These songs sound so fresh. Structure and build are perfect. Agree on mix in parts. I like to think the bands choice was that the singer wanted to be indistinguishable from the music during that part. Almost like the syllables are a different beat. Most lyrics I can make out. And I’ll read them when I spin the album.

 

I have very litte attachment to this band but this song is not what I expected and it’s really good.

 

Wow… this is increasing my expectations for a great album. Love it.

 

Anyone been able to find the lyrics yet?

 

haha this is my only gripe with the song. i have ZERO idea what kenny is saying in the verses.

 

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six-four Impala

 

yeah the mix is so bad I could only pick out the line about the impala

 

Absurdly good. Love the mix. This song will tear the roof off live.

 

i think it’s fantastic.

 

Can’t wait for the Chicago date

 

The vocal mix/delivery reminds of turnstile a bit. He sings differently than he used to, but it isn’t bad at all.

 

Man they sound fucking great. Really mature with an updated sound…..like I could see them cultivating new fans with this.

 

I think they're both produced by Will Yip, so that makes sense

 

hell yeah

 

God damn, this is the ONE I wanted to hear

 

The chorus is where I hear this most, and that’s the part of the song that explodes. It is going to GO OFF in a live setting.

 

another great track
