Lol, boner.

Really loving So Long Soldier.

Alex absolutely owns Live and Let Go. Unbelievable voice.

holy shit. A lot of people are comparing this record to their old stuff (still LOVE the old stuff) but i think this record sounds completely different then their old stuff and i am perfectly okay with that. THIS IS AWESOME i love this sound on this record.

So Long Soldier is such a stangout so far. Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver? not so much..

Feel like his voice so so so much less overproduced and I couldn't be happier.

i was actually a fan of "Reckless and the Brave" and LOVED it but the rest of this album blows it out of the water in my opinion. good gob atl!!

Yup, I don't understand why people hate ads so much. I can see if they're intrusive, but regular ones shouldn't bother you. Idk, I could be saying this because I make money from ads on my site

Sheets has some old school sounding Good Charlotte in it.

"Lifesaver" does that for me; still sounds like an early 2000s pop-rock record; which is exactly why Dirty Work didn't blow up in the mainstream(IMO at least)

way different feel on this than anything they've released, not necessarily a bad thing. the songs they released prior to this were a good indication of the direction they were heading

This kind of rules. I dig it. No criticism as far as lyrics either, it's just what I'd expect from them. So far nothing is cringe-worthy, just a few cheesy lines, but it doesn't make anything unlistenable.

Maybe this will grow on me, but the lyrics are really forced. Seems like some parts are just random words put together because they rhyme. Musically, this is miles better than Dirty Work and perhaps the best the band has ever sounded, but the writing drags it down significantly.

4 songs in so far and loving it! The production is spot on too.

I'll say this -- it's better than their last two albums so far, but still nothing amazing. I'll keep listening...

This is exactly what I wanted. Some great songs on here!
