your honor, its peak. this album literally makes you live in wallsocket for an hour or so, and come out perplexed on how you teleported home. the extra tracks add so much, and christ I cant wait for April's next album.

while toxicity is the best soad critically, mesmerize is the band at their best. best lyrics, best instrumentation(like holy fuck the intro to Question is the best intro to a song I've ever heard) and also just a bit of goofy mixed in. My favorite soad album, and one of the greatest of all time.

I am seen. this album looks me in the face and tells me what I need to hear. I wanna live, I don't wanna die.

improvement is what makes a new album worth listening to, and jvb deliver here. in particular, brae's lyricism is noticably better, with joey's production being better than ever before. better than punk tactics, better than no hands. that's what's the most important.[its 1 am gimme a break]
