ever since "spritzy punk" was coined, every song that's slightly fast has qualified

this one's possibly the best high-energy rocker since binaural.

This is a really fun rock song. The solo is great, the various turns it takes are great and so is the outro. I only wish they'd applied some distortion to the main riff and make it sound a bit heavier. Something more like Whipping. Either way, it is a good track.

Man, im loving this one so much. Loooove the bridge, the melody, ed´s vocals...Jeff is fucking good here. It always reminds me of the overall playfulness but tightness of Black Red Yellow.

It's a standout! This is my first time posting about the album since first hearing it and this track is where I feel compelled to start. I love how many call backs to songs from the past are on this record. The beginning of this one sounding exactly like WWS feels like a friendly hello from an old friend.
I like the similar songs Stip referenced in his review. For me Never Destination is better than all of them. It feels more like rock n roll than Supersonic or Big Wave. This feels almost traditional in its rhythm and delivery. The song I keep thinking of is Open All Night from Nebraska. That one makes me move the exact same way Never Destination does. As for the ending, it couldn't be more perfect. That feels like a genuine rock melody as well...something you could have heard in the 60's or 70's. All of these detours are wonderful and I love knowing (from the Josh interview) that it's an intentional thing Ed is "on" right now.
The Bruce feeling I'm getting fits perfectly right after Seven O'Clock.

This is one of the best songs in the album. The second half is so playful and entertaining. Sounds like something that could have been in Lost Dogs for me.

This one could be the live concert sleeper. Just has that rollicking energy that will be great on stage. It's like a Springsteen River era song w/ a Tom Petty tag at the end for good measures. Fits in very well in the song order.

I hope they really went for it and jam a little bit more in the middle part.
