I'm definitely going to relisten to this because I know there is something here, but on a first listen it was just alright.

I strongly believe that there is not a single bad song on here, but some are quite flawed, mainly Mr Morale and Worldwide steppers. Worldwide steppers has really good lyrics but on a listening basis isn't amazing, ... read more
