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.

You better watch who you call "backwards" and who you call "uncivilized". Treating people like pigeons; I hope they peck out your eyes. Throwing crumbs and passing judgment; Nobody asked you to import that shit. I see paradise and you see pavement. Your renovations make a mess of it. Erect monuments to excess until there's no room left. We'll turn this place into a tomb.
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
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
