I liked this one a lot more than I thought I would. definitely feels bloated in the second half and clocks and warning sign kinda suck. giving it a 3 because I probably won't ever listen to it again in full but I enjoyed my time with it, a whisper and god put a smile upon your face both rock.
easy 5/5, this rules.
not usually a double album guy but this one earns it
in fairness to this album grunge just really isn't my thing, and two songs in I was pretty optimistic that this one would be different, not the case unfortunately. oceans > porch > garden is a very good run of songs and even flow is a classic, but I have a hard time getting what sets the rest of this thing apart from most of the early 2000s butt rock grunge successor bands that rightfully get clowned on.
I hadn't heard this one before but I enjoyed it very much, it reminded me of early wolf parade and their adjacent projects like operators, which I guess makes sense in retrospect since dan plays with these guys now. no cars go and black wave/bad vibrations were the highlights for me.
