Wasn't a fan of angrier and faster music before hearing this record, but to be fair there's a lot of passive songs here at least for a portion, saw a friend listening to it so I did too. That's why this is personally higher up on the rating scale for me.
Rat Boy really do just sound like a discount Jamie T to me. Its not neccassarily a terrible thing but they're hardly crafting an interesting sound of their own. There's some songs that hold a good high energy throughout and a few catchy hooks. The music here just reeks of a pretentious and immature edginess that doesn't feel at all natural.
Move is a fine song but the rest of this is just cheap indie rock with no sense of identity or charm.
