They may be self-presented fuckups, but they're sure as hell smart and know how to strike the balance between balls-out hardcore aggression and earworm pop punk.

Yes, this is a hardcore (and post-hardcore) album. But, it's hardcore played with gleeful abandon. Songs like "Dark Days" and "Mabu" see the band trade in a portion of discord for dance-rock and churning power-pop, respectively.
