Joyce Manor return with their third LP, their most catchiest and accessbile yet, which delivers 10 songs in just under 20 minutes. Playing a mix of well crafted upbeat pop punk songs, ala Jawbreaker fused together with the influence of The Get Up Kids and even The Smiths, Joyce Manor somehow manage to find that middle ground that makes them appealing to both fans of indie and punk. Not only has the songwriting improved but so has the production and though one might not imagine Joyce Manor to sound more appealing with a polished sound, they certainly do. This is a really great feelgood album that will have any listener transported back to the days of their carefree youth.
