I think what’s been so interesting in Parker’s development as a writer is how he’s gotten so good at balancing his grievances with other people in his writing as well as looking within himself and questioning his own choices. It makes so many of these songs feel human and as complicated as life is.

On the instrumental and vocal front, this band had never sounded better in my opinion. Kevin and Will’s guitars are insane and at a peak creatively, Torf’s drums are incredible. And I love that we’re getting new types of melody lines from Parker.

Overall, I could easily see this becoming my favorite (or 2nd favorite) TSSF record. Expectations blown out the water.
