“Another cardinal crashed into my window.. man what the fuck?”

 

Yes! And that symbol thing is starting to seem like it's not a watermark, but is part of the cover, which is a mystifying choice.

 

It's definitely a watermark. Official album art is up on Tidal: https://tidal.com/browse/track/231999160

 

oh, good!

 

it is apparently a watermark for the Telegram channel where it got leaked

 

like the art. fits the vibe theyve been going with since sister cities

 

Wyatt’s Song is amazing, this album is building up to really be something

 

It's like a little too close to comic sans for my liking and doesn't feel like it fits the vibe.

 

I really like the font

 

Album and documentary 9/23

 

Mark Hoppus just randomly popping up in that made me smile so big

 

Got really excited till I saw it's out so late, oh well. I'll wait and with no more singles for me. The documentary might be cool of course and it was fun to see Mark too.

 

Song absolutely rules

 

The production sounds great too. Really excited for this record.

 

I dont particularly like the chorus, but I think my son is around the same age as Dan's so it still made me cry.

 

Production is good. Another song that feels like they’re moving backwards though. Song is fine but continues to just not be interesting to me after Sister Cities

 

It's ok, don't really like that hemiola thing they do in the chorus. Summer Clothes is def my favorite of the singles so far

 

I've never heard the term hemiola before so I looked at a couple of youtube videos and I just do not understand music

 

sounds like what I would expect a Wonder Years song to sound like at this point

 

The Wonder Years – “Passing Through a Screen Door” (Song Premiere)

We were able to track down the text in this interview, so I've added it back to the database.

 

“It touches on the idea of societal pressure dictating the way you should live your life. The wife, the kids, the house. I know that those are all things I want, but I don’t know when. And to be honest, I’m terrified of them. There’s so much that can go wrong. When you think about it, there’s so much responsibility. I don’t want to fuck up a kid’s life. Am I balanced enough, stable enough to help guide someone else through the world? Those are big ideas, they’re terrifying. I’m constantly running away from that.”

Such a great quote from a decade ago now seeing what the new album lyrically will be mostly about.

 

The Wonder Years Go Where Pop-Punk Rarely Has: Parenthood

 

Interesting that they're getting that kind of blog push.

 

The new singles give me a TGG vibe more than the previous two albums so I think this slight return to form combined with the surge of popularity in this genre again gives them the perfect route to target a slightly younger audience (one that is more socially conscious than the MGK type crowd). I honestly think they could have their highest chart numbers so far and that article is a great push.
