This is the fourth studio album from the Canada-based rock group, and the third we've covered for the pod. This album is a diversion from the course we expected PUP to take, but it still delivers in big ways with tracks like "Totally Fine," "Robot Writes A Love Song," and "Relentless." Then there are Bright Eyes-Esque interludes that feel like speed bumps on the highway. This is the album that every successful band has to make. The one where their art becomes their job and they no longer are in control. The problem is, that it's not relatable to anyone. It's real and authentic but not overly effective in connecting with the audience. Despite all of that, there are moments where you hear brilliance and somehow that's enough to make this a good album. Peak PUP can square off with anyone.
