The proverbial sophomore, matured, focused effort. If the history books speak fondly of our time on this earth, they will no doubt recount that this, PunkNews.org's #1 Album of 2005, was our most universally acclaimed album. Fourteen songs composed in the midst of a hurricane of divorce, work, death, gentrification, war, sex and W. We still play most of these songs, which means they are still great! Recorded by the greatest human being we know, J. Robbins, at Phase at the end of 2004. A rough year.

I know that some days it feels like a 9 to 5 deathmarch. And that's half the waking day taken away. I'm pretty sure that we imagined something more. Don't let that fire in your eyes flicker and fade. They're experts at extinguishing hope, so you better hold it and keep it close. It's a one-round match; you better grab it by the throat. And don't let go…I'd like to say "Hats off!" to the slash-and-burn architects. They know exactly where despair and commerce intersect. They've solved the equation for the gold rush, soul-crush: Three hundred million open mouths choking on the surplus.
A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
