I rated Trench above this, but I think I prefer Clancy.
Here's the thing. With the build up from Overcompensate, you would expect "Trench 2" considering how much people disliked SAI. And while it's not another SAI, it's also not another Trench. I didn't expect another Trench personally, but something about this album just strikes much harder.
It's hard to explain, but songs like Vignette, Midwest Indigio and Snap Back just hit so differently.
Fav: Vignette
Least: Backslide
ORIGINAL: This isn't really it, imo. ILY felt safe and this has a clear theming of like "sad surf indie pop," and I love that vibe, but the songs itself aren't anything worth writing home about. I don't HATE it, but it feels inferior somehow.
Favs: Prey, Cry Baby, Daddy Issues, RIP 2 My Youth
Least Favs: Greetings from Califournia
NEW 2024: What the hell was wrong with me? I LOVE this album. Half of them are growers but most of them still hit.
Favs: Prey, Cry Baby, Daddy Issues, ... read more
For what it's worth, I actually heavily enjoy this album despite how safe it all comes off. Not much to say besides that I actually still like it a decade later.
Favorites: How, Afraid, Sweater Weather, WDYWFM?, Flawless
Least Favs: Female Robbery, Float
Yeah, it's all downhill now, isn't it? I like the tone Brendan's going for, though.
Best: Silver Lining, Roaring 20s
Least: Hey Look Ma, High Hopes, Dancing's Not A Crime, Old Fashioned
At least the mood perked back up? The cadaver of Panic being puppeteered is a little more enjoyable and poppy compared to the last album
Best: Hallelujah, Emperor's New Clothes, LA Devotee
Least: Victorious, Golden Days, House of Memories

I only listen to things I think are objectively good. Like manufactured J-pop idols
