AWasteOfATime Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Wow, lyrically as well as the feel? And if not just lyrics, I hope you mean the first version not PRC. Too slow i mean the poppy version. and yeah it's less political and more love songy than PRC. I only had one chance to listen to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hmm. I do like the political aspects of their songs, but that's what their last two albums were focused on. So I think if that's pretty accurate, I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subplotofcrows Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think this blows PRC out of the water. Lots of pop, much less punk. I think it's their perfect sound. Has a nice retro vibe to it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castaway Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah I disliked PRC but I'm really enjoying this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNewton Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 For me this was pretty solid overall, with the exception of one or two songs. Just wish a few songs were a little more aggressive, but this shit's got some bangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfactor675 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 yeah that's the only problem for me too. there are just too many mellow songs, and they arent placed properly. the first half of the record is gorgeous, the latter part is kinda boring. Hope it grows on me. I'm still a S/T love, though. Also, i don't feel this record as a potentional break out album for them, sadly, I don't want to see them go...

samehardluckx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Really like this album. They have the retro pop style mastered. Can't wait for my /300 to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samehardluckx Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 "When You Know" and "Someone Else" are my early favorites so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNewton Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 "When You Know" and "Someone Else" are my early favorites so far. Someone Else is such a good song. My favorite is Raised, followed by ATMAFH, YH/YH, SE, and then 12/31 haha. The record release show is going to be so dope. Can't wait to hear these songs.

AWasteOfATime Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Its really good but my friend pointed out that after track six the tempo of the songs really drops, which now kind of bugs me AndyNewton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Does anyone else feel like Cmar really grew into his voice for this album where on PRC it was all about the group melodies? I really fuckin like both albums, but that is my main takeaway from the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's come pretty far from the Ted K/AAC days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
