    Outrage! Is Now is unequivocally uninspired, shelving almost all of the rawness that put the Toronto doublet on the map thirteen years ago. It’s lyrically apathetic, and Jesse F. Keeler’s basslines have lost all of their punishing nature.

    The shallow cynicism and apathy that animates so many of its songs are under-interrogated by its writers, instead finding form as a pessimist’s non-committal, inconclusive pouting.

And this one being less riskier than the last because of how similar it sounds. But this is still a solid outing from the band regardless. The band still knows how to deliver a rock song with energy and swagger, like I said before.

    Even though this album is somewhat repetitive, I have to admit that it was better than I thought it was going to be.
