Track by track:

"Sun Veins" ★★★☆☆

Just a mostly instrumental opener, so not much to say, the transition is nice tho

"Way It Goes" ★★★★✭

Love the cheerfulness of this song even though it's about this "it is what it is"-"that's the way it goes" attitude. I also love strumming my guitar along to it tho i can't sing along yet haha

"Vines" ★★★★★

Personal fav omg, i get so filled with joy hearing this song, especially during the guitar riffs
Fav lyric:
Failed by design, slow your pace down to mine

"Epitaph" ★★★★☆

The beginning got me like "ehh i don't know" but it grew on me later on lol. Not a stand out track for me but definately not a weak one, i loved a lot of the lyrics here
Fav lyric:
(I love the whole bridge but it would be too long to put here)

"Simple Season" ★★★☆☆

Also not a stand out for me, not much to say about this one, i wouldn't skip it if it comes up but i wouldn't seek it out yk

"Tuesday" ★★★★★

Another fav, surprised people are sleeping on this one its so goooood. I like how they capture this weird aspect life where sometimes you're not fully happy and content but also not against it and you're just along for the ride (if it makes sense?)
Fav lyric:
Sometimes they call it a Tuesday
Sometimes it's the best day of my life

"Western Kids" ★★★☆☆

overated OOPS I SAID WHAT I SAID

"Poems" ★★★★☆

song about pretentious art people being pretentious, the vocals, the fade out and in at the end, the lalalas yess

"Monsoon" ★★★★★

heart breaking, i came back to this recently having lost my dad, out days were spend crossed out of sunday school
Fav lyric:
Chin held shut so my heart can talk louder

"Vacation" ★★★✭☆

Tbh the production didn't stand out too much but im here for the vibes

"Boyish" ★★★★★

Top 1 FOR SUREEE IT HITS SO HARDDD

"Interlude" ★★★☆☆

Another instrumental so no comment

"Buttercup" ★★★★★

One of the first songs i found them through so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Literally shaped my taste in indie music, i've been chasing the same sound ever since (kinda like drugs lol). The last verse goes crazy live and has been a mantra for me in my teen years.
Fav lyric:
I'll be fine, I'm alright, it's my body
Gonna stick to my guns like you taught me

Track by track:

"Mistakes" ★★★☆☆

Not a fan of slower songs like this but the sound scape is nice, really sets the tone for the rest of the album

"Anxious" ★★★★★

I love this i find it so comforting as someone who's anxious about a lot of things. I will be screaming the last part at the top of my lungs

"Doubt" ★★★★☆

I didn't like the choppiness at first but it grew on me, the chorus tho *chefs kiss*

"Bambi" ★★★★★

Top 3 of their entire discography, i relate to this so hardd plus it's one of those songs that you just listen for 5 secs and know it's a banger
Fav lyric:
I swear to God, I wasn't born to fight
Maybe just a little bit, enough to make me sick of it

"Why Even Try" ★★★★✭

Simple but so devastating at the same time

"Think It Over" ★★★★★

Beautiful but so painfully underrated, it makes feel the same way as when i look at those old tom and jerry backgrounds randomly enough lol

"Bubbles" ★★★☆☆

Rated low solely for the earrape in the middle lmao it scares me everytime

"Honestly" ★★★★☆

Not a standout but i wouldn't skip it

"Golden" ★★★★★

This is the song that started it all for me with this band lol, i remember replaying it again and again thinking about a nonexistent relationship...
Fav lyric:
Why is it I want to change for you?
Why is it I want to see this through?
Maybe I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings

"Passenger" ★★★★✭

Body ascended
