Pest evokes such a harrowing feeling and sounds so heavy but also extremely catchy and memorable. Holy shit that might be one of the best songs ever made. It is doing exactly what is trying it do, make you understand how horrible it is to be in one of the worst experiences a human being can be in, and that sets the tone for the rest of the album perfectly. Its fucked up and hard to get through but in the way it intended. The lyrics are so well written and poetic as well. Its not overwritten to ... read more
I think us and them is a bit overrated and on the run is underrated. But yeah this is one of the best classic rock albums created. Its very relaxing, spacey and euphoric. The clean transitions are really cool too.
This is amazing holy fuck. The powerful screams with the ethereal guitar overdubs are an inspired choice. I know thats what this band has been for years but it cant be understated how they still manage to be unique in that. The production is just perfection as well.

Highly recommended to anyone that ... read more

This is just so boring. Its a mediocre sublime/tame impala/beach boys child. It sounds better on paper than it is in practice. I really dont like this guys voice. Its approaching a whine constantly and it just doesnt sound good. And the vibe is very subdued. Psychedelic music to me is best when its either incredibly lush or technical, complex, unique and fun. Or at least the vocalist has to encapsulate the vibe better than this. He reminds me.of simple plans lead vocalist to me at points. I ... read more
