    I'm not sure what drama there is going on but this album definitely doesnt deserve a 10 or a 0. I wish we could keep drama or politics away. With that said, I heavily prefer their earlier work. I dont really know what they tried to do with this. its not the worst album Ive heard, but thats a low bar to clear. If I want indie rock I think Ill just stick to the greats, heck, even FlorenceI'm not sure what drama there is going on but this album definitely doesnt deserve a 10 or a 0.

    The album's length is just about right, going by in an efficient 36 minutes but feeling satisfying at the end, and while fans are bound to pick favorites, there's not a real dud in the bunch.

    Pleasingly, their debut album suggests there’s enough musical substance to back up their fighting talk.

    These songs feel immediately familiar and timeless—you could have sworn you heard these melodies on so-and-so’s album from 15 or 25 years ago, but it never feels contrived despite obvious comparisons throughout.
