Disposable Everything is the perfect sonic amalgam of what AJJ has been and could always be. In a splendid fusion of acoustic rock grandeur, jazz archetypes and stringed harmonies, the band ascend to new heights with an admirable composure.
Disposable Everything is such a joyous little bottle rocket of an album that does not require you to think too hard and whilst it does not reinvent the wheel it will love you regardless and I am going to go and listen to it again because I need a hug.

When this album is at its strongest, it still shows these guys are putting out bangers like the first 2 tracks. But sadly, a shit ton of filler plagues the middle to second half of this album.
