A blast of 3-chord fun streaked with neon highlights, chugging with Weezer/Oasis/Queen-via-Bryan Scary brilliance. Robin called them the Beach Boys on crack, and in that regard they out-SFA SFA.
It feels crass to go full soundslike reductionist on these guys, but what they do is so about the combination: firing out deadsimple feelgood, plus just enough flourishes to keep you weaving, plus enough operatic scope to keep you caring. It's hard for there to be standout moments when you go this all-out maximalist for 14 songs (remember when albums had 14 songs?), but if you're feeling youthful and knocking out to the beach this will soundtrack those coastal miles just fine 3.5/5
