- not a ton of thoughts on this one - some parts were smooth and groovy, but a lot of it felt chaotic - and maybe that’s just how love is 🤷🏻‍♂️

- this is peak 2010s alternative - sounds like high school - some really great songs but a few fillers as well

- this is a fantastic album front to back - the guitar riffs are so clean - layne’s voice is so unique - perfect grunge album

- decent, this isn’t any old crap - still not really moving me tho

- this album was much better than I expected - the songs are tight and well made - loved the variety in sound, especially Helter Skelter

- wow this is really solid - I love how simple the guitars and beats are, but they still play an integral role - the dual vocals work really well

- solid album - cool elements of blues
