    The Production of this record is the only thing that bothers me. Otherwise it's a catchy, fun, uplifting summer album and everything i would have hoped for. Much more immediate than the overlong David comes to Live(ofcourse still awesome but its difficult to sit through if you know what i mean) and maybe their most consistent record to date. Preferably enjoyable while sunbathing or justThe Production of this record is the only thing that bothers me.

    Glass Boys' legacy will likely be the Fucked Up record fans praise for its songs, rather than the risk-taking. [Jul 2014, p.95]

    Perhaps that great crossover will now never happen, but they’ve made a refreshing, bold record here, that, a few trips aside, leaps the barriers of genre with ease and satisfies throughout.
