Pinged youā€¦

Awesome , thank you!

First listen and itā€™s a good record, lots of pop and rock touch points and less punk and definitely less ambitious than dose your dreams. Itā€™s stacked with strong tracks and some left field mid song tempo changes.

I think it will be a grower as well, some of the songs have potential to get lodged in your head.

Awesome! Saw someone on Twitter say it had their favourite Fucked Up song ever (which is pretty massive all things considering) - is there an obvious song that fits the bill?

Friday, I assume this is a pre-order that arrived early!

Nothing jumps out from first listen but I have not really dug in yetā€¦ it is very ā€˜radioā€™ friendly though so suspect a few songs might have anthemn possibilities

I mean itā€™s not very Fucked Up, but I do kinda like it. Is this indicative of the album as a whole? Very intrigued to hear it on Friday.

Apparently the only one without Damian on vocals so will be the outlier from what Iā€™ve heard

Quite Mouldy Bob to my ears on first listen, which is certainly no bad thing.

Aye itā€™s Mike, apparently itā€™s a sequel of sorts to The One I Want Will Come For Me off Dose Your Dreams

Good songs, as youā€™d expect from a good band

Iā€™ll listen to it tomorrow, but this is the least excited Iā€™ve been about a FU release.

The DCTL gig last year was super flat and I canā€™t recall listening to them since. Likewise this is the first time in memory I havenā€™t immediately grabbed tickets to their show.

Hope I can be reinvigorated, as I do bloody love them.

I think youā€™ll be pleasantly surprised, while itā€™s far from their best work (which is an insanely high bar to clear) thereā€™s a nice straightforwardness to it of just simple, well written songs

one thing that really struck me when I interviewed Mike is that he described Glass Boys at being the point where the band were at their ā€œleast confidentā€, which I think about a lot. Basically this album returns to that style but with much more confidence.

They were described to me around Chemistry era as being the Who meets Husker Du :slight_smile:

Aye itā€™s weirdly uncanny how much Mikeā€™s singing voice is like Bob Mould
