On first listen, Buckle Up is the clear winner here.

I'm getting ready to die on the hill that says Never Destination is a fantastic song.

Made me want to listen to Jailbreak (in a good way)

In my mind they should just release this a week early, and everyone will forget it leaked and not care. We’re just all desperate for something to cling to in a time we’ve never collectively experienced before.

I love you guys! I got home from work walked in to legos, transformers, and guitars scattered about the house. This will be the wind down, can’t wait to be holding a physical copy! And most certainly can’t wait for the Nashville show to be rescheduled so I can see these beauties translated into a live atmosphere!

A week out from it being officially released? If this thing isn't already packaged and waiting to be sent out - it's got nothing to do with someone leaking a sub-par quality version

Some highlights that exceed what I thought this band is capable of at this point, with a few real snoozers sprinkled in.

This album just seems to have so much going on. Twists, turns, detail. That always helps. This is a great effort.

Feels like a mix between Riot Act, Avocado and a little LB (only in songs like SBWM or ND).

I dont really hear No Code at all.

I think that's about right. It also has a fan club single experimental vibe to it
