definitely has that Springsteen Nebraska vibe, just wish it had a bit more energy

think this was the first album that really sold me on rap, everything here is memerable and has a purpose. Love the Christian tag lmao "love to fuck to trap music, dope money came along"

oof, fuckin ye had a better album this year. Felt like i was actively losing my hearing listening to this

huh, I actually prefer this to their early 2000s stuff, and it's way better than their 'graphic design is my passion' last album. Third side of the moon's up there with gravity rides everything, and missed the boat. Its a shame there's so much filler in the middle

this shit's gonna be fire, isn't it

Man this thing is weird. A lot of the songs give strong sonic youth vibes, but those last couple are very good.

Underrated af

Man there's some real shits on here, ie 'one', but this has some of their best stuff too.

If you see post rock in the genre tag, you run far and fast

i just don't get this one. The singing is very weird and kind of annoying, especially on 'I Came as a Rat.' doesn't really sound like he's hitting most of the notes. I really liked Gravity Rides everything and paper thin walls tho.

I like the folk pop kinda theme but there's just so many eh songs. If you took away half the album, it'd be better than their self-titled

These guys are from California

just generic early 2000s pop, River's doesn't even hit half of the notes he's trying to hit. You know you've screwed up when toto does your song better

tf, this fixes like most of the problems with the original. Instead of river's high pitched ear grating sing noises, we get normal singing

Just talking about the bonus tracks.
I love the usa kinda almost sounds like something off pacific daydream, just your below average pop song, nothing special.
Yk those pop remixes you'll hear on the walmart radio that tries to turn a half decent song into house pop and ruins the original, thats the jacked up remix.
Friend of a friend and 'fake smiles and nervous laughter' are pretty good and sound more like something off white

At least its not ear rape like the title track

underratted, closed on sunday's hype

i just wish there was way less filler, this could've been so much better

Its progress

Eh, its fine
