Why (My Reasoning and Perspective) 

OH MY GOD!!! 

Absolutely phenomenal work from the band. So close to a 20, but no, no I mustn’t. I’m saving it for albums that have changed the way I genuinely think. 

I absolutely LOVE Your New Place it’s saxophone is what i would’ve loved in Ants From Up There, being able to hear the ambience of the room gives it depth and more or less immersion? Immersion is never something I’m looking for in music. It’s drum and guitar work is also great but I can’t really speak on that as I don’t feel that’s my place to intervene and speak about as it doesn’t let me really put my ideas to words. 

Tenspeed and Heavy Red really let me hear and let the saxophone shine in I guess non rock songs. 

Emily is where you can see the rock in the band I love the end I would’ve loved to hear more screams in the album because IM TIRED TOO!!!!!

Slowing down to seminary lets you have a nice breather, before the what I could say for some reason reminds me of my baltics? I don’t know man

You part 1 and 2 are kind of boring but I do like part 2. 

RACING MOUNT PLEASANT OFF OF RACING MOUNT PLEASANT BY RACING MOUNT PLEASANT OH HOW I LOVE YOU!! I love the i think would be called harmonies or conjoining of multiple voices in this song. I absolutely adore this song apart of the trio of loud songs Racing Mount Pleasant, Call It Easy, and Outlast. They all are so good. 

34th Floor and Outlast are lovely and I LOVE THE TRANSITION. 

Seyburn is kind of a weird transitional song that should be there but I wouldn’t really listen to

Your Old Place is such a good closer, unlike basketball shoes it doesn’t truly end in a bask of fire and glory. It’s short nice and sweet and goated

Goated Goated Goated
