But they've come out with a new album and most of you have probably already heard their single "Supersoaker", but I'm here with an early review of the rest of the thing. If you're looking for a complete throwback to the older stuff then you're gonna be disappointed. There's still some of the anthem-y arena rock ballads, but there's a couple throwback songs that'll still catch your ear. "Rock City" has a modern Tom Petty feel in a way, pretty solid choice. "Tonight" is one of the slow ones on the album, no doubt one of their arena ballads. Tend not to lock the slower songs when it comes to rock, but this one's pretty catchy, even has a bit of a Bruce Springsteen sound during the chorus with the piano in the background. I say it has a Springsteen feel loosely, literally just at the one part. Another kind of throwback sound they have is in "Temple." Resembles their Aha Shake days more than anything they've written in awhile. Just got into the album a couple hours ago so I still don't have much for a detailed review, plus even if I did I'm not even fucking qualified to do it. People who read music reviews are losers anyways. Like its too hard to judge it yourself? Dude, you've got ears and opinions, figure it out.
Overall Grade = B-, still has some bright spots but honestly I was hoping for a little more
