Scared of Fear **** (chorus is killer) React/Respond *** (didn’t hit the high of the first song. aggressive) Wreckage ** (was expecting a lot from this and was kinda disappointed. Not counting it out since it’s rumored as a single. Room to grow.) Dark Matter **1/2 (Didn’t quite connect on first listen but **** song now. Love it.) Won’t Tell N/A (zero memory of this one) Upper Hand ***1/2 (Binaural fans will freak out at the intro. NAIS-ish. Then turns into a mid tempo radio rocker.) Waiting for Stevie ***** (don’t want to hype this one up too much. But was my fav of the bunch. Haven’t had a high on first listen from a PJ song like this since Unthought Known. But I’m still not sure how it will land with everyone else. Maybe too poppy?) Running ***1/2 (Fun rocker. Punkiest song on the album? Ending is batshit.) Someone Special ** (not my vibe but will be a fav by some(one special) Got to Give *** (mid tempo radio friendly rocker. Think you’re true and Without You but done with the band) Setting Sun **** (Perfect closer. Felt like I was on a beach.)

Fans with a home stereo set up are gonna love it. Feels like an album that should surround you. And it is complete and cohesive."

Thanks. This is about 100x better than any other review we've seen from the listening party crew.

"First song blew everyone away. Reminded me of the same energy/drive of who ever said. Last song left them speechless. Think parting ways meets retrograde meets around the bend. (I know but trust me). Album ends on such a high note. Super powerful stuff. No filler tracks. Feels like yield in that way. First half is more rocking. Wrecked mellows it out. That reminded me of a 7 o’clock verse type of song. Second half is filled with the mid tempo rockers and running breaks it up(which reminded me of good vs evil, especially the end). Someone Special wasn’t really my vibe, but everyone else loved it. It’s pretty fucking adorable and will hit with anyone who has kids. My initial standouts were scared of fear, waiting for Stevie, got to give (triumphant feel good chorus) and setting sunset."

It can be heard on the metal door leak and it does indeed sound great.
