    It's an utterly loveable album which truly says more in those 13 minutes than some bands manage in entire careers. [19 May 2012, p.54]

    This was bold move for Joyce Manor, but one that exemplifies exactly why they're loved.

    Here's a band skipping from one musical fragment to the next with the reckless abandon of youth, trying out ideas, finding their strengths.

    This is how an album should be made, stripping the songs down just enough so that when you start to listen you never lose your focus. And "OfThis is how an album should be made, stripping the songs down just enough so that when you start to listen you never lose your focus. And "Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired" does just that, it keeps your focus with catchy and fast songs like "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "Bride of Usher". But it also knows when to slow down a bit, take a rest and turn down the amps with "Drainage" and "I'm Always Tired". What so great about the album is that it accomplishes so much in just thirteen minutes, thirteen perfect minutes. You never feel like skipping a song, everyone of them is essential, and it's just a perfect album with no fillers.… Expand

    The youthful shine is undoubtedly what holds it together.    … Expand

They've remained true toIts an album which boasts so much youthful energy and the hooks are the most catchiest I've heard in a long time. They've remained true to their punk rock roots and the result is an extremely enjoyable rock album! Though below 3 mins, each track is solid and affects your head and stays there for a long time to come, looping and looping, and that's a wonderful feeling. One thing is certain, this is certainly not among my list Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired.… Expand

    I'm getting the feeling that metacritic is full of **** The average score is no where near 95, not to mention that there's only 5 reviews damn it.
