Good album, not an overwhelming fantastic album. There’s really no misses, but definitely a longing for more substance in some of the tracks.
Wish You Were Here is a premium song and Wish You Were Here is a premium album.
Killer album. It’s like Third Eye Blind said let’s make the most low key banger album and people were convinced the only three songs were gonna be major hits, yet Losing A Whole Year and The Background are hit single material.

Not completely, but god does the higher register singing, brain drilling vocal melodies, and grandiose Glee-esque ensemble vocals really make change my facial expression. For some reason, one song, ‘Mirrored Sea’ is ... read more

"While King Park is the more emphasis on the heavier post-hardcore that I enjoy and TLLC is probably my favorite La Dispute song lyrically, ECF could go down as the most definitive La Dispute song."
