Where Are Wee Know?: Soft guitar starting this out. Soft melodic vocals coming in. Some drum work comes in. Still soft. I really dig the soft slow personality of this.

My Instincts Are The Enemy: Soft guitar and a bit of drums. Really digging this track.

Home is Where the Haunt Is: More melodic music...

Born to Lose: Can they do something that isn't melodic...

I've Been So Lost For So Long: The melodic guitar starts off the formula that they have...

Give Me the Gun: I like the way this song starts... Has he started every songs vocals with him saying the name of the song? I can swear he has.

I Need a Drink (or Two or Three): Bet you $10 he starts this song by saying the name of it... You owe me $10. You know, these lyrics are pretty corny, "I'm going to die this way." That sounds like something every sophomore ever has written.

Desire Gets In the Way: I like the start to this song. This might be the best song on this album thus far.

Everyone is Dressed Up: Another soft melody... Is that a horn? Well points for trying something different.

Final thoughts: This album feels a bit uninspired. It feels like a thirty years old man tried really hard to recapture emotions he felt in high school.

Favorite song: Desire Gets In the Way
This is the wrong album. They have two albums named American Football with the new one being a reunion one, which is what you listened to. Go listen to the 1999 one as it's their magnum opus.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
