Best garage rock revival power pop indie rock album of the year
Best USA album of the year
"You have no right to be depressed,
You haven't tried hard enough to like it"
I knew I had just listened to something special when I first heard this album, a feeling I haven't had since Nevermind. I listened to this album obsessively for a few months and I still haven't stopped listening to it regularly. It has most of the features of music I love, like full of emotion, great lyrics, great song writing, and passionate vocals.
10/10 songs: Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales, Vincent, Fill In The Blank, (Joe Gets Kicked out of School for Using) Drugs with Friends (But Says This Isn't a Problem), The Ballad Of The Costa Concordia, & 1937 State Park [First added to this chart: 07/16/2017]
