    There isn't anything specifically awful about any of the songs and you can imagine any one being played at a Californian stoners' beach party and no one minding. But if you put the entire album on, no one is coming to your next one.

Nathan and the band really step up in terms of offering an album with maximum enjoyment and minimum filler. Right from the word go, the album keeps a high energy throughout and will appeal to most people simply because of the contagious hooks placed into each and every song. Definitely Wavves' most pop leaning record to date, however this is certainly not a bad thing at all as each and every song seems written in a way that is not annoyingly pop, and it certainly contrasts brilliantly to 2013's "Afraid Of Heights". The album has personally been on repeat constantly for me and I thoroughly recommend you try it out if you're up for a 30 minute fest of surfy pop-punk goodness. The only negative however, is that is only just over half an hour long, and it really makes you want more. Hopefully the next album shouldn't be too far away.… Full Review »

    A solid album, perhaps a bit bland at points but the band's performance makes up for it, a couple of nice new songs to add to my playlist.    … Full Review »
