Mar 3, 2020Vastly improved lyricism and flirtations throughout with new genres like '60s-style Flower Power pop and Go-Go's-esque new wave see Best Coast lent a new lease on life, largely succeeding in walking themselves back from the brink of creative bankruptcy.

Aug 17, 2020This album is far superior across the board lyrically to anything Bethany has put out in the past. These songs are polished and ready to be heard on a broad scale. This takes what California Nights did and ups the ante. The whole album is a fun and cool listen. Just really enjoyed it and it will be in the running for my Album of the Year, I'd bet, come December. Put me down for a 9 out of 10.

Mar 2, 2020If the album has any disadvantages, it is that many of the songs sound similar. However, subsequent listens reveal layers previously unheard and the uniqueness of many of the songs comes out. It wouldn't surprise me if, at the end of the year, this will be a favorite.
