Evan Riddile An incredible album. A masterpiece that should be heard from front to back. What should be a combination of sounds that shouldn't work somehow works flawlessly. My only gripe being "Tracy's Buns" is holding the album back from being perfect. Favorite track: Baton Rouge.

Sean Dalton How someone could write a song as good as any of the songs on this album, and then do it 10 more times, and then do it again with another album and still not go down in quality astonishes me. Favorite track: Minds Like Ours.

Karl Germanovich hard to choose a favorite song off this album because everything about it is incredible. every piece of each song comes together in a way that makes each one likely to get stuck in your head for months at a time. my favorite track on it changes with the day, but Baton Rouge's bass line is so sick I couldn't resist choosing that one. other favorites are Big Chomper, Gunpowder and Pepper. But there is not a bad song on this album. A must own. Favorite track: Baton Rouge.

What's the point of converse if it's not engaging and long? What's the point of learning if you knew it all along? What's the point of singing if you can't sing along? What's the point of tasting if I don't taste you tongue? The chemicals don't make me. I'll just leave the car running in case we flee the sour scene. In finding love worth faking, the offering misdeems. The effortlessness making the solemn scene serene. This is not me getting in to the getaway car. This is just me staring from the middle of the yard. This is not me saying that I'd not do it again. This is maybe one day... This is there I go again. The chemicals don't make me. I'll just leave the car running in case we flee the sour scene. In finding love worth faking, the offering misdeems. The effortlessness making the solemn scene serene. These two emotions won't hide. Word left on her tongue tonight. Hypocrisy can't subside. One trained thought fled just despite. Towns filled with skeptic still light. Disease and care left from sight. Just one more left makes this right

Take some time. Cuz sadly knots are actually not capable of Breaking off what they've held strong For years too long. You're an up and overkill conduit. You won't be tricked into tasting salt. Make myself at home but you're onto it. Sell me your career. The checkmate comes but once a year. The hardest part of holding on to future worth the pacing Is you can't expect a visit from the boy you left waiting. Dig, Dig. The core. No one needs this more. You're hosting the party standing guard at the door. Faces hide in frame that line askew design. You're and up and overkill conduit. You won't be tricked into tasting salt. Make myself at home but you're onto it. Sell me your career. The checkmate comes but once a year. The hardest part of holding on to future worth the pacing Is you can't expect a visit from the boy you left waiting. Is this goodbye or just an offering? If you say so. I'm out the window. If you're something let me know.

In a trip to fix all that's right, secretly seeking. Held at intersects. "Accidentally" meeting. With the greeting cards text He's cleverly made worthwhile Each tear in the crease of her smile. But in a while an opening lets her see the inside she never saw. Now that we're all here... A toast proposed and begged Collect the hour. This scene comes easily cuz We've seen inside. Their eyes open wide. Hands controlled. Arms at side. Here comes the question yes mother You may not kiss the coroner. Now where were we? Ah yes, where the groom's been Keeping quiet what we've done To make sure she'll be tearing. With the dinner plates Set sweet melody plays her style. Each ear feels and end of her smile. But in a while...

At the start the end's so easy to forget When the closing comes it's far too quick And the start sticks. Our conscious is killing us For what we haven't said This nonsense is thrilling 'Cause we're all underfed. The morning starts without Us when our high hopes come back Without a solution. Here we are again So eager to pretend Our lonesome hearts Dare us to tear them apart... Let's break the glass that holds the wine Look past utensil to feast on swine Salivate at opportunity And apprehend the useless. Burn the candle at both ends to seek Potential overlooked by pessimism Locked away by realism Spend too much time waiting for the glass to fill Priceless is the reaction of letting glass spill Reaching the brim of every pointless goal Without looking further or even looking into... So hard to change them when They can't stop holding like they always do. Those with us.

There's a graceful dance above me. From the sun reflecting in. Off the cars that pass below. Each with their own story within. And the dance moves They remind me of the times that I've walked in To a room and left with nothing Except the fear to walk back in. So I'll stay safe at my vantage. On occasion I'll peer in. You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes Right next to him. You'll need help, you'll need attention. You're a captivate whim. But I'm a coward prone to quitting. I just make sure never to begin. The gunpowder between my teeth Lets me know that I've come clean It should be easy to say goodbye Since you won't be looking at me. I can see you through a window But the cracks keep you a blur. There's a victim in this story I wish to god that is was her. While I know I've your recognition It's of its nature I'm not sure. If I could ever push this question I'd shut my ears for the answer.

Sadly I cavil and carp At your passion to prove yourself When I'll be right behind you. Break your heart for celebration Like a champagne glass-like dehydration We've got you dialed. Concentrate Keep the party's opinion I'm too late when I make my decision If the subject drops when your heart stops I'll take a shortcut to killing you quicker than we're settling for. Gladly I open my ears as you beg us to choose your self Since summer we've tried to, mind you. Take a part our guns and ammunition So that you could take part in the exhibition Of which you design. If upon the retinue he builds up n' out. Creates a livestock-like love in ground 6 deep. We tore the town in two and it feels exciting. To go from black to bones this fast Is change that's worth fighting for. Everything and everyone that used to seem exciting. Enlightening too many events (forsigh) for citing.

It's been an hour and you never felt more alone And it's clear that you never really made it home Despite the speeches the secrets make it quite known And the glory's all your own Leave us and stay on the phone It eats us to see your knees down to the bone again The owner's got to move on Set to devour like a clock set to carry on But it's fear that's been keeping you from coming home You've got the reach and the secrets to make it alone Take a bow that's all your own One plane ticket solidifies your goodbye Despite expectancy and efforts put forth to try And fill the void that never really was there Put on your best suit This parade's for you Dressed in press we hang our heads for you Take a side, take your eyes off emotion first When you're ready we'll be here to give you the worst It's coming out, what we talked about Kill the part of you consumers like to read about Can I call you out? Last time you pulled out

Baton Rouge 04:17
I'm stepping out an open door. Sometimes, I wish was locked. Across the hall another's shut The peephole's all I've got You've been warned. I'm sure it's true. I'm so new to love. Just hold on. I want you standing on my shoes with a peruse-like touch through Baton Rouge I'm scared to death to even move. To move. Green strobes still flickering in my head. I cling to everything you said. I finally found your hand But there's only time for you to walk me out. We'll pray to God and brush our tracks The wolves have sniffed us out.

It would have been easier to tell me to leave when I sat down. Giving up love for leisure like losing everything I found. It feels meaningless to tell me what goes wont come back around. If you've got a home leave right now. All thanks to the gods for our logic and feeling. It hurts knowing. Only minds like ours find our words on the ceiling, but we're growing. Sick of seizable moments passing as I open the door Letting their steps drift farther from mine. Their eyes cut deeper every time. But my courage upon a pedestal shares Likeliness with miracles. It's not the end It's just one town. It's such a shame. We had so long. So grab your friends. And don't look down. Cuz when you look up they'll be gone. Screaming at the top of my lungs But you can't hear it. My voice is going. Swearing we won't come here again We'll come near it but we're growing. Diggadiggabdat.

Pepper 04:53
this still life it looks like motion is gaiting unexpectedly one judgment will define recycled emotions underlined vindictively misplaced aggression and a half-hearted smile give regret a whole new meaning replace transition with a full lb of style to try and read what's on the ceiling living in fear of a future this rares denial. Bringing back the dead infected affection falling apart from the seams of your heart is this cycle. we're just left for dead... this still light. It looks bright showcasing your love on filtered, so fair these judgments create criiiiimes. forcing the witness eyes a blank stare revolting obsession the other's denial push at the knees before kneeling No definition Not even worth wile apart from forgetting living in fear of a future that rare's denial Bringing back the dead infected affection falling apart from the seams of your heart is this cycle we're just left for dead...
