This was the type of album where I wasn't sure about it in the first couple of minutes but as I gave the album a chance I began to notice the brilliance. Once you dig deeper you realize why this is good and it begins to sound like a work of art. I've noticed a pattern in amazing albums being incredibly weird at first, I think that's what it takes to be this good. This was an (8.7 - 9.4/10) I also really like how the album's meaning about feeling constrained by society and unable to be different in a progressive punk album is ironic considering how a community that is extremely conservative of an old progressive culture is awesome.

This album is really good, I just couldn't get past the vocals. It's not that I think the vocalist is bad, it's just that his vocal style choice (screamo leaning hardcore) is not a style that I enjoy that much. Maybe I will warm up to the vocals on subsequent listens since the music and lyrics are great, but as of right now I'm not connecting with them. I did really enjoy the last few tracks on the record though. For anyone that enjoys screamo style vocals I think they should definitely give this album a listen.

I’ve never heard of this band until now but I actually mainly like punk music or punk leaning alt rock and I’d say this record/band is getting a lot of praise in online circles I’m in right now. I’d say my favorite bands right now are Creeper, The Menzingers, The Dirty Nil, The Interrupters, Spanish Love Songs. Does this live in a Menzingers world at all? This band are set to be supporting My Chemical Romance, correct? When Anthony references screamo vocals is it like Static Dress at all? Hardcore or experimental in the sense of Culture Abuse, Angel Dust? or, I like but don’t love Turnstile, I respect but don’t usually really love Code Orange?.

I cant say any of the bands you mentioned are in the HC genre, so no not really. And ill be honest, its a little weird that they're touring with MCR. Not saying you cant be fans of both, but Im not sure theyre energies will mix very well Those are good bands btw, just that theyre all a mix of more traditional punk, heavier hard rock, ska punk and alternative Also yeah, Soul Glo closer to Turnstile and Code Orange, but those are closer to HC as well so 🤷‍♂
