Honestly love the sound of this album so much. I’m rating it higher than their first album at the moment however it has grown on me so much that I’m gonna put it up half a star when I can. I just really love the 60 pop rock sound and the influence of The Beach Boys and The Beatles are so evident on this album, two artists that I have been super into recently. I think this is almost equal with their third album that is also self titled except this just has more upbeat songs with full productions that I am always more welcome to.
