Maybe my favorite record of all time. Hard to say, but Pollard's witty, out of the box lyrics within each track create as much buildup as any album. Each song has a knack to hook you in, get you invested, then throw you to the next cut where the process repeats. I would do anything to meet Pollard and talk with him on his thought process, for he is a legitimate genius.
And damn, I just wrote a real review. It's kinda fun using this website for what it's meant to be used for.
Would be better than TNT if it had an album cover even half as good. Still some heat.
I just swallowed like 40 tablets of my dogs allergy medicine and I'm tripping. This shit hits mad different with some flea-fighting Zyrtec and a Monster energy.
You know that one point in that one movie where that one guy walks to that one place and he says that one line and it's like the most captivating performance ever? Yeah, but what you didn't know is that in that scene when he entered the building he actually walked into an elevator. And in the elevator, this album played.

"I want a RaAaAngE LiIiIFfffFffEeee." Literally copied every indie rock band ever. Incredibly uninventive and so derivative. Like, actually try to be forward thinking just a little bit.
Jagged mathish rock with a few WeE wOo WeE wOos for good measure. I cringe every time Travis says, "SO PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR, WAVE EM LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE," but otherwise, it's nice.
Vocals sound like my 15 year old self trying to sing the high notes on, "Range Life," by Pavement. Spectacularly terrible. 10/10
