just when I thought the wave was gonna crash. they had to go and start up again :evil:

thus begins a new era of tumblr quotes over pictures of dilapidated and burnt-out houses for tumblr queenz to post. most likely a 12" for everyone to destroy with their crosley turntables. 90% of convos regarding emo with girls will now be along the lines of "OMG teh nu amerikan football album is suh gud! I'm 100% emo!"

Do we know if it will be released on Flopshelf? or RFC?

I don't think it's terrible - it doesn't quite have the same edge as the first stuff did but that was inevitable after 17 years.
I think the instrumental is a little plain and could have done with some more interesting rhythms from the percussion - but perhaps the other tracks will explore that sound a little more.
As someone who, after 10 years of keeping quiet, is only now opening up about suffering from gender dysphoria - the lyrics are kind of speaking to me emotionally - right now at least.
All in all I think the track is okay, I can only hope the other tracks improve on this.

As an old school AF fan since 2002 (before it got trendy in like 2008 or whenever it was) I thought it was pretty cool they released a new track. Didn't love the song but it definitely wasn't bad.
I mean I'm not claiming to be a diehard fan by any means but I got emo af in 2002 when I was 16 listening to never meant.
I might still check out the rest of the record.
Definitely not elite confirming it by any means but peaked my interest due to the novelty factor.

Definitely exciting that there's new stuff, but I'm not super crazy about it. Kinda just reminds me of Owen with more instrumentation.
