It seems like there's something for everyone on is, they really killed it on this one.
I appreciate how concise it is as a studio album, but I can't wait to see how they perform them at OBH and beyond, there's a lot of potential there. Should be some fun shows this year!

Hot take:
Half a Lifetime is the best track.

Squid Ink is complete buttrock. Don't know wny they did a buttrock track like Complex and Squid Ink. They're not good 🤣🤣

But my favorites are DIE FOR IT, OUT IN THE OPEN, man I'm really just dipping and diving. Like 15 listens in and it's still an enigma. I love stretches of this record and then others I'm not sure of just yet....a few times there's these forced platitudes in the lyrics that come out of nowhere and have zero place...almost like a PSA...I think it was during Lemme Know.
Everyday Magic....hmmm I dunno yet.
There's some i just need to keep hearing.

Quote from: gardenparty78 on Yesterday at 05:58 PMI was really out on this album after Squid Ink came out and even my first full listen through.   

Gotta say on my third listen to the album I am hearing so much that I completely missed on first listen. 
Great melodies, great playing, great mix.   

I think we have an album I am really going to enjoy here! 

S/T was not my cup of tea.  Loved Waterfall and most of Waterfall 2.

Don't think I could rate the songs just yet, as some I didn't enjoy on 1st listen are quickly climbing...except Squid Ink:)


Of all the dumb rockers MMJ have made (highly suspicious, holding on to black metal, squid ink), Squid Ink is the best.

YES! Out in the Open needs a single and video release!

I really like Beginning from the Ending, Everyday Magic and I can hear your Love (was hoping for a song kind of in this vein)

Also Die for it and Lemme Know.

Growing on me overall on each listen!


Quote from: Lucius on Mar 23, 2025, 07:38 AMOut In The Open needs to be a single. Perfect festival/summer vibe to it. It's a really beautiful song that's growing on me with every listen.

Also still really happy with Everyday Magic. My wishlist for this record included some kind of funky little number, I couldn't have imagined anything better than this song. The breakdown before the last chorus has that live Dondante energy where they flip the disco switch. One of the best examples of the band capturing their live essence in studio! I can imagine Carl ripping through it with his sax

Also still obsessed with Die For It. That Psychedelic 70s rock vibe is such a great fit for this band and something I want more of in the future! That outro is the closest thing I've had to an opioid high since I quit using :grin:

I like numbers 1 and 2. 

The next 4, not so much.

Finishes strong.
