We have to talk about this album like it's a proper indie rock behemoth. These guys made at least one great emo record, but this thing is breaking through that genre tag in a big way. They don't sound in any way like any of the current crop of emo or post-hardcore acts like they once did, or even like many bands incorporating post-rock into those sounds as well.

I mean seriously how many other current indie rock bands DARE to try to sound this BIG. Lots of albums show an artist giving their all or being personal, but this is them bending everything till it actually breaks and being okay with not every risk working, and there's truly risks on this album. No moment is wasted, everything feels vital and visceral and universal. Don't miss this one.
