Granted, that may not be what everyone's looking for.
i'm just looking for good music, and it's hard not to be enthusiastic about both pendulum and CC

who wrote this one?
Jeff and Stone, Ed's lyrics

Well yeeeeeeah but Stone wrote Amongst The Waves and LTRP. There are two sides to every story. But yeah, Jeff is the MVP of the album.

I thiiiink if I had to choose one I'd go with CC because of the lyrics/structure. They're both up there though.

No. Unfortunately.

There are some gems on here though! You'll hate it but hate it less than BS

MFS / Infallible / Pendulum / Yellow Moon could be said to go together aesthetically, but no song here is representative of the album. They're all entirely different.

I have a friend who likes punky loud guitars. He heard MYM and said "Hey, maybe I'll like something off this one!", to which I said "I doubt it."
