    I really hope that I am able to grab a record release copy at the show. I like this way more than I had expected to.

    You might be closer!  You listed the Yellow/Green Heroes for Hire split twice, also those are still available from Australia if you want to pay shipping.

    Pop Up shop variant is just like the record releases except using a salmon(?) type color and just says Pop Up Shop Exclusive.  Will Post pictures later if I get the chance.
     
    Also, managed to pick up a Hank the Pigeon plushie so that was pretty cool.

    Sorry everyone can't be an expert reviewer for Absolute Punk. Can you teach us how to properly review a record?

    There is no excuse for the last track on this album.  I'm sorry, you cannot copy and paste the choruses of the singles from the album and put them together into one song like that and expect us to believe that you truly worked hard on every single track on this record.  There's a difference between a recurring theme and a copy and paste.

    Let me put it in perspective. Using "it's pop punk" as an excuse is bs. Nobody ever had to say that about NFG, TGUK, Lifetime etc. I used to go to TWY shows and listen to them and relate. I was in college when The Upsides came out. I was broke, living in Philly, doing the same stuff they were and getting over a bad breakup. It got me hooked. This record does not have that level of relatable lyrics, unless you count the line about everyone you graduated with getting married and having kids.
     
    That being said, I am going to guess you're a few years younger than me. I don't like Modern Baseball, I don't wear pop punk tank tops. I don't necessarily expect my opinion here to be common.

    Was actually pretty excited to hear this album given "Passing Through a Screen Door" and all the hype behind the record.
     
    Severely disappointed.
     
    I was digging it until that song Teenage Parents.  After that the album got very stale and forgettable.
     
    Essentially, this is the In Currents of The Wonder Years.  Fun.  Can jam to it.  Easily Forgettable.  Kind of a let down.
     
    Also, that last "song" is a joke.  I don't understand why they created a medley of the singles off the album...
     
    Overall:  ~6.5/10
     
    Maybe after a few more listens it'll grow more on me.  But I haven't been this let down since Star Wars Episode I (Teenage Parents is the Jar Jar Binks of The Wonder Years world).

    This sound is so good.  I am so jealous of everyone who got to see their RSD show in Chicago while I was stuck writing papers and studying for finals.

    Good Show. Met up with Billya and his friends. I think I was the oldest dude there not bringing a kid. Ha ha. 
     
    Hostage Calm didn't have the split yet but are supposed to starting tomorrow. 
     
    The kids went nuts for TWY and they played a great set. I missed Misser and Hostage Calm but Fireworks were really good live. I say that after finding their last to LPs very dull.
