I’m a diehard for this band - seen them six times - but this album is disappointing to me. I’ve put a lot of time into listening to it, saw them sing it front to back live, but still - it’s meh. “Shhh… Golf is On” is a great choice as a leading single and the rest never match it. I like most of the songs as casual listens but I was bummed when I saw their latest tour and they skipped a lot of their classic gems. The energy felt lost. I loooove the You’ll be Fine / Pilot / I Won’t Reach Out to You / Honest & Cunning eras soo much. I can’t pinpoint what isn’t hitting for me as much with this album - I really tried! Open to opinions and feedback for WWIW apologists!

Nah you're absolutely right, this whole album feels like they kneecapped themselves. I've been a fan of them since around 2016~2017, and this just feels so boring. That raw emo energy is gone and replaced with safe songwriting. There's no explosive songwriting, the performances are dialed back a ton, and overall just isn't fun to listen to. You'll Be Fine felt like that logical cross between a more pop-appeal sound and their own emo sound, Why Would I Watch just feels like radio rock in comparison.
