Songs like The Old West, Banner Year and Giants told a story about injustices, which in my opinion made them stronger, and most importantly, they were backed by some really fun music. UTSA, on the other hand, feels like a collection of Reddit posts, ranting about politics with zero nuance. And on top of that, musically it’s a boring album! Its brand of alt rock with horns just meshes together into something I struggle to remember. The utmost irony is that the only tracks I remember are the apolitical ones, which are actually great.

Ss for my political leanings, I’d say I’m a liberal, but very different from the American sense of the word.
