I’m sorry but the best thing about this album is the title. Sounds a little harsh doesn’t it? At least it does show they have great self-knowledge though! Because yes, they did steal the riffs from the likes of Jawbreaker, Superchunk and a whole lot of other 90s bands but they indeed were unable to steal the talent. And so I’m stuck listening to an album with a couple of cool but mostly unmemorable riffs and grating vocals.
On the few occasions where they are good, they really are good though. “Almost Shameless” has a lot of charm and “Echo Mode” drives on a pretty cool riff as does “Station”. Maybe next time I’ll be convinced if they write more songs like those three and just a tad bit less sloppy but for now I’m gonna stick with my lukewarm feelings towards this band.
Score: 6 out of 10
