Thank you to the 30-year-olds in Cliffdiver for extending the olive branch to 40-year-olds in the final chorus of "thirty, flirty and thriving!". truly I still do not know shit
actually really tight and fun!! the most surprising thing about this record to me is that… i like it more than many (most??) of the albums from the early '00s when pop punk and emo were having their heyday. the stuff that i associate with this sound is pretty much bands where i was into the hooky singles but bounced off the albums, but this album is Chock Full o' Hooks. nothing groundbreaking here, but i've gotta respect the craft and polish that CLIFFDIVER is bringing — the details matter, and imo all throughout Birdwatching they've fucking nailed the details. i'm impressed!
