This album is almost entirely backloaded, there's a few great songs on the first half but it really starts once you hit Get Down!
Favorites: In the Dead Mall, Get Down, Wu-Tang, Character Flaw, New Wave Will Never Die and What the Cat Dragged In
So far this is my album of the year, I can't even describe the journey it took to discover this thing but it was definitely worth it. It's atmospheric, very well produced, has a great sense of humor at the right times ("Bring some dippies for the chippies"), the vocals are perfect and it's just so good! If you've somehow stumbled onto this album listen to it immediately!
While I didn't particularly care for the previous album I thankfully enjoyed this one far more. The biggest criticism I have is it just feels like it's repeating stuff these musicians have already done, however that stuff they previously did was also really good, therefore this is also really good albeit a bit repetitive. You Know Me!, Under Our Pillows and the title track are my current favorites!
It's... okay. It's a very good emulation of early Weezer, unfortunately that is also why I don't really care for it that much. The Shell Shack and 1955 are pretty alright, the rest are eh. Just like with early Weezer I can pretty clearly tell I'm not the target audience of this.
This is at least more enjoyable to me than the real Pinkerton was. The biggest issue here is The Barg'n-Mart and Sail Away, Old Friend overshadow the other songs to much that the rest practically becomes filler.
