    It leaked. Haven't gotten a chance to get it myself yet, but it's out there.

    Wasn't impressed with the single or the first half, but damn, that second half is groovy. I expect the rest will grow on me a lot over the next week.

    This is incredibly underwhelming so far.

    Edit: This is what all that hype was for? The entire album sounds phoned in and highly repetitive. Where did their balls go?? Glass Homes is the only track here worth a damn, and I really wish they would have went with that sound over the empty, uninspired sound they went for here.

    Bummer. I haven't listened yet, but I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up to high. (Still gonna make up my own mind when I do check it out)

    Sometimes, my first reactions change a lot after a few listens, but there is nothing here I want to revisit. NYC Pt.1 and 2 sounds like unfinished tracks; it is just highly forgettable.

    So a lot of the album to me is slamming, but the back half of the album just drops tempo and is a bit uhhhh skippable.
    Loved the front end though. Hopefully I can go see them again soon.

    Hmm... not sure how I feel about this one after my first listen. As an album, it didn't grab me right away like their other ones did. That said, I dig "One + One," "Free Animal," and "Glass Homes." The jury's still out on the rest.

    It’s a fun, short little banger of an album. It’s definitely not as good as Outrage. But I don’t think I’d have wanted Outrage 2.0. I feel Sebs ‘lost in the mix’ fuzz vocals happened too often on this album, though.


    overall I dig it though.

    There's some really interesting mixing on this album. It doesn't immediately jump out as one of my favorites, but I think it might be a grower for me.

    Listened to about 3/4 of it.
    Pretty into it so far. I like the drum sounds. Reminds me of Justice.
    It's cool to hear those fuzz vocals again.
    Good hooks on here so far.

    Glass Homes-Love Letter-Mean Streets is an awesome run. I also really dig NYC Power Elite.

    Love it, but it does fall flat on its face tracks 8-10.

    *EDIT*

    Just got my indie exclusive 12"!

    Looks like DFA have re-recorded their debut LP. One track drops per month on bandcamp Friday. 2 so far. And a 20th anniversary tour
