idk, I think the new album is pretty good, but then again, I loved the first one and thought the Snake Eyes EP was a decent stopgap so ymmv. I did find it a bit disappointing on first listen, but I've warmed up to it more with a couple more go thrus.
It definitely helps to have a strong tolerance for late 90s/early aughts pop-punk though and I agree with the pfork review that Ween is a pretty good reference point for the wackiness and erratic tonal shifts.
Kinda wish that the looming specters of Disney lawyers didn't prevent this one from getting included though . . .

I generally really liked the album! Wasn't too interested in the more digicore/screamy aspects that return from the earlier releases but I was taken by the stuff that's more in the vein of D&F (latter of which sounds better than ever) or at least more tuneful. The frog song for instance, with its croaks a nice Stump homage. Or the Sleng Teng underlay of The Most Wanted Person. Or the two songs that try awfully hard not to turn into Sweet Dreams or Hunting for Witches (this is a struggle I faced several times when I used to make music).

two weeks pass...
he's been chilling in the basement for a minute
757 and frog on the floor are so good, mememe also pretty great, rare moments that match the charm of the debut. i feel like 21 pilots and KLF are under-discussed touchpoints for this project ...
