[elijkpeskers]

It’s crazy that I used to see these guys at house shows in high school. I went from seeing them in basements to actual venues and I couldn’t be happier for them. They’re such good guys

Remo Drive are cool, I went to high school with those lads in Bloomington.

This record is fun, creative, and definitely deserving of an 8. I didn't really notice any problems with the mixing or syncopation while listening but even if there is, there were a bunch of indie rock records in the 90s that had bad mixings and they're still praised. It's b/c at the end of the day it comes down to the SONGS, which are great on this album.

[jessechuff]

honestly I think the points where the guitar and drums don't line up perfectly are nice because it feels more natural, more raw, and less calculated which I think this album heavily benefits from. I do agree with most of your points tho, it's an 8/10 for me

AY, It's pretty cool seeing a hometown band gets some attention.

[FidelCastroImpersonator]

Crash test rating had a problem I feel like plenty of their songs in the past had. They try to go for this specific sound and then midway or towards the end they slow it down and it becomes this messy “I got too tired to finish my essay so here’s a bunch of word vomit” type of sound.

[skt_]

I think they just need a solid engineer to tighten up their sound and they'll be MUCH better. Still one of my favorite bands rn.

[wenisinvietnam]

Review Hippo Campus!!! They're another band from MN!!

[nolmihc]

name brand is easily my favorite song on the album

[everlot]

This band defines literally everything he complained about at the beginning of the

[lotusblossom]

Idk melon, I can appreciate that you have high standards for emo revival but I would argue that, as artists, musicians should feel free to express themselves in the ways that they see fit. That's not to say that they shouldn't push themselves and continue to grow as musicians, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with sounding like generic emo if it comes from a place of catharsis and/or authenticity. You may have already addressed this perspective before, but that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ThePacemaker]

If you enjoyed this record, I encourage you to check out the debut albums both Vagabon(Infinite Words) and Jay Som(Everybody Works). Both got great reviews from Pitchfork and I really enjoyed their albums
