Like the music, like the verse, but the chorus does nothing for me. Too much cheese. Wasn't a fan of the first song released either. Loved the last record...really took me by surprise, but I'm very eh now.

This band continues to become more and more poppy, to their detriment.

Very true. I'm sure I won't regret preordering the album, but I'm not too sure about their next one.

I sensed them moving this way once their first album happened. Hopefully by the time the album after this one happens, this process will swing back like a pendulum that has reached its crest.

I mean, the chorus is poppy, but this is still very much Conditions in my opinion. The last album, for me, was too overproduced, and felt like too much of an effort, like they had to put something out; Full of War feels natural, like how all of their EPs felt. I have been a fan since their inception, and I feel the stuff we are hearing off of Full of War is much more like their EPs pre-Fluorescent Youth.

This may come down to personal taste more than anything, but I think that this new album is easily shaping up to be their best due to the more pop approach.

Their other stuff is really good, but I love what I've heard even more. Open Eyes is a perfect track.

EDIT: Also, cool video!

It's decent. Definitely poppier than the last album.

Eh, the intro/verses sound too much like "When It Won't Save You" and the chorus is weak.

God this is awful. This is not the Conditions that I'm used too.

I think these guys have consistently put out great music. I'm excited for the album.

Man Conditions has always been one of my favorite band but none of these new songs have any "bite" they all sound really safe and unfortunately even forgettable. There's no real variation in tempo or singing, no high parts or heavy sections. I really hope the rest of the album proves me wrong.

Damn, I love it.

Very strange. They tour with poppy bands, harder bands, poppy bands and then harder bands again. I guess the poppy bands had an effect on the new record. Fluorescent Youth was a crazy good album.
