Nice, I loved Celebration Rock.
Synths! Ballads! Acoustic Guitars! Welcome to Japandroids 2.0 via P4K
That headline had me prepared for disaster but quite liked the single on first listen.
Only about 1:40 into this and I love it

This didnāt immediately click with me - the cleaner vocals, the weirdly āproducedā feel to the backing chant - but I just listened four times in a row and am coming to the conclusion that itās an absolute monster.
V excited for the album - is it churlish to wish it was longer than eight tracks?
On first listen, the new single sounds great, canāt wait to hear more from the album

Mmm, I prefer the eponymous song. I found this one a bit boring, I hope my feeling will change
Itās the same formula as before but they sound tired. Still like it though.
Nowhere near as good as the last single but yeah, I still like it. Donāt think there is a Japandroids song I donāt like. All their songs have an immediacy with me - I usually want to repeat them straight after my first listen.
Itās always the same formula with them but thatās not a criticism, it would be kind of weird if they deviated from it. Iām not really looking to them to reinvent themselves (same with bands like, I dunno, Joyce Manor).
This is beautiful, love the overlapping vocals

Yep - love the new single. Itās a grower, and the ending āno known drink, no known drugs could ever hold a candle to your loveā is absolutely spot on Japandroids romance nostalgia. Exactly what I like from them - really wish the album was out NOW.

True Love And The Free Life Of Will is making me tear up a bit. Whatās wrong with me.
I think thereād be something wrong with you if it didnāt move you. Done with myfirst listen and itās all so so good.
