Shocked by all the negativity going on here, this is a distillation of everything that makes Sleaford Mods great. Some fun hooks, love the guest features, and of course the lyrcis are biting as always.
How is it that the most mature progression of Jeff's songwriting resulted in a step back style wise? This is some of the rawest, punkiest shit that Rosenstock's put out in his solo career since I Look Like Shit, in a way that really highlights the complexities and nuance of his GREAT songwriting. There are so many little surprises across this album that completely derailed my expectations. Left turns within the songs themselves, but also in the pacing of the album (seriously, who wasn't shocked ... read more
Sadly, I really couldn't connect with this album.

New Love in the Summer Time is a perfect closer and maybe one of my favorite songs he's written - he knows how to end an album on a great love song though (Wastes of Time? C'mon. C'mon. C'mon).
Jane don't you know me is much better on the record than it was as a single.
