    Babcock strikes the perfect blend of distress and condemnation in his vocal delivery, expressing righteous indignation at these lived realities.

    PUP have made albums a lot more fun than this, but for sheer impact and focus, this feels like their best work to date, even if the recently dumped might find it a bit too relatable for comfort.

    PUP leap and bound through fields of melancholy, finding balance between bittersweet lyrical tales, upbeat pop-punk foundations, and lingering emo influences. Tracks like ‘Hallways’ and ‘Best Revenge’ play with atypical nuances where elements of pop and indie rock make the genre - which can often feel stale - fresh.

    In a first for PUP, the best tracks on their album are slow songs and mid-tempo romps, which bolster Who Will Look After the Dogs? after its rambunctious opening track.
  5. 70
    As it stands, the more things change the more that stay the same. But, when you have a formula as egregiously glorious and cacophonous as PUP is no bad thing.

    The songs run the emotional gamut from “No Hope” to “Hunger 4 Death” to “Shut Up.” But there’s a warm cameraderie at the heart of their music, which is why even their darkest songs—and these are almost all dark—still can feel uplifting.

    Is it a bad album? Nope, but it does feel a tad rickety and like maybe cutting a track or two would have helped the momentum better.
