    Solid (if unremarkable) songwriting and peppy, spirited performances help ensure that The Wombats' latest at least remains engaging and appealing to pop/indie rock fans throughout, although the group's largely inside-the-box approach of rigid adherence to the tried and tested tropes of these genres may prove frustrating and ultimately experience-shortening for more demanding listeners.Solid (if unremarkable) songwriting and peppy, spirited performances help ensure that The Wombats' latest at least remains engaging and appealing to pop/indie rock fans throughout, although the group's largely inside-the-box approach of rigid adherence to the tried and tested tropes of these genres may prove frustrating and ultimately experience-shortening for more demanding listeners.

    This album scratched every itch I had. I'm not anybody, so I have very little to contribute to the public discourse. so I try to engage with the internet in a very limited capacity, so when I say this metacritic account was made just to leave this review, I'm not overstating how much I enjoyed this album. Since this album dropped, a song from this album has been stuck in my head. EveryThis album scratched every itch I had.

Since this album dropped, a song from this album has been stuck in my head. Every moment of silence I have is tinged with impatience for the next time I can put on my headphones. My enjoyment was subjective, so too will yours be, but I really wanted to help improve the score to make improve the reception of this album.… Expand

    It’s so fun, it’s so winkingly subversive, and we for sure cannot survive another multi-year wait between releases. This album is a hell of a Fix.

    There is no excuse for accepting this level of mediocrity.

    When they’re on the game, The Wombats are well capable of turning heads and catching ears (People Don’t Change People, Time Does) and they have a pleasing habit of writing songs that sound remarkably cheerful despite sporting bleak subject matter (Everything I Love Is Going To Die). They’re not always successful.
