Now that is a
lot of subgenres! I don't know what to expect at all from this, so I've just gone with a general mid-range predicted rating of 5, but the real rating could be anything either side of that, good or bad. I like the first, and title, track anyway: sort of elements of post-hardcore possibly in there, good singable chorus, decent melody. Second track's good too, more post-hardcore while “Loser” has more of that pop punk feel, and a great energetic angry tone to the frenetic “**** You and All Your Friends”. Some of the songs are just funny - “I Hate Everyone” couldn't be more in your face or literal – and “Superhero” is amusing while being also very catchy. There's a rather nice half-ballad in “I Don't Mind” and really, few if any bad tracks on this. Quite surprised, though as I stated at the beginning, I wasn't sure what to expect. Don't think I expected this though.
Footnote: Interesting. When I went to check a YouTube to post for this album, I see the guys onstage and the lead singer has a swastika on his back. I don't actually care, but there was no mention of Nazi sympathies, either in the lyrics or on the Wiki page. Odd.
Oh, and most of those genre tags are bull****: Prog rock? My hole. Space rock? As if. Electropop? Do me a favour, mate!
Don't know who wrote that Wiki page but their ability to spot genres is up their arse.
