it's disappointing, but how "bad" it is really depends on how lenient you are with your expectations from a Japandroids record

It's by far their most mainstream record to date, way too polished for their sound imo

even if it was the same style and quality as their last two i wouldnt be interested in it. two albums of it is enough for me.

Feels like so many pans of this record, not just this one, are backward looking critical reappraisals of Japandroids in general. "Nothing must has changed here". Have you heard the record? In what world does like, "North South East West" sound like something this band would have done in 2009? It's one thing to not like the direction they're taking here, but to write this album off as a Celebration Rock rejiggering feels lazy.

Arc of Bar or whatever it's called makes me think these guys were trying to do a prog song

The album had some great moments. Maximum cringe at those "Oooh Oooh" in the opener though and overall... I don't know, boring tbh.
