American Football by American Football has found a way to progress from American Football while not making the same mistakes of American Football. American Football show on American Football that American Football have grown since American Football and American Football did make American Football American Football. But what really American Foots my balls is how American Football made American Football American Football while keeping in tact the elements of American Football's American Football.

Should definitely check out LP1, less personal lyrics but more upbeat/happier instrumentals

[@guyonagravitronmachinestan7595]

@4wurd Productions in comparison to LP3 it is. Sure it may not be all ponies and rainbows, but the instrumentals are more youthful, pop-punkish at times, and sound like "teenage love and heartbreak" whereas LP3's instrumentals are more mature, post-rock influenced, and sound more depressing and pair well with the deeper lyricism.
