It's here and it's fine! Any value that I'm getting out of this album is because I was already a fan, not sure it's gonna have anything for new listeners. It's not so much that TAI is escaping the trappings of nostalgia that haunt the modern Warped Tour alum, but that they're falling into them in a new way---instead of playing to the millennial crowd sonically, they're playing to them lyrically.
Quite fun and catchy, but also very repetitive at times. I had to check that I hadn't accidentally replayed "The D in Detroit" when I heard the intro for "Emma Discovery" because the two sound pretty similar. "All Things Ordinary" is a definite stand out that I find myself coming back to frequently.
i’m high right now and have really questionable ideas for music to listen to when i’m high literally what the fuck is this i cannot begin to articulate the amount of crazy choices made here
a beautiful, dreamy folk album. looking forward to blissfully swaying to some of these songs when i see them live soon.
honestly, a disappointing album from stevie. i love rooms on fire but unfortunately that’s the best song on this album. it’s so static, the songs all blur together and the sound has not aged well.
