I definitely like this more than Shed. "Like A Ritual," "Make You Cry" and "Secret Society" are my favorites.

Love this record. Leaf and Lefty are definitely my two favorites.

This is sitting at 3 right now for me, wonder if that will change

Awesome review Drew. I loved Shed and this album blows it out of the water.

Also no less than 4 or 5 people have name dropped My Vitriol in comparison to their new stuff and that is so cool

That one shoegazey track intrigued me but I was told most of the album wasn't like that.

Hm, I still gotta have a listen.

So they left indie punk to become the first pop gaze punk band? I see another trend coming along. Now that popcore is dead, we gotz gazecore!

what an amazing record, you can really see how far theyve come as songwriters. they are crafting great songs now, not just punk show hits (which i still love, dont get me wrong). i still dont understand how some people couldn't get into shed, but anyway this band has gotten so much better since the collection of TLTYF.

My AOTY so far, I didn't think anything could beat Make Do And Mend's record, but this did easily. Love everything about it.

This, Birds In Row, and Propagandhi will be in my top 3 punk albums of the year...no doubt about it.

"Like A Ritual" is such a jam. The chorus especially...so Hole-like.

Yeah, the bands are punk inspired. I do like Converge. I haven't listened to them since the "Color Me Blood Red" days, though. Is the new album good?

yeah I like it a lot, but I'm a Converge fanatic, I do think it's better than their last two albums (which I also loved haha)

Rad, I should listen to it. You don't think it's the best in their catalog, though?

Edit: Time flies. I forgot the Menzingers was this year. I'll have to spin it again to compare. Propagandhi didn't do it for ya? :P

the new Converge album? No, Jane Doe and You Fail Me are still my predictable personal favorites, but this one is up there.
