A proper album by a proper band. Not trying to be anything but good.
Rachel A gave it a9:
This album is fantastic. I saw them perform a lot of the songs live and they're even better! There are a couple that I skip, but not many. Overall, a really good album.
Mick CC gave it a9:
Have folks totally lost their sense of musicality?? This is another cohesive lp from a phenomenal band w/ something truly intelligent to say. And it says it first w/ the music. I think everyone's ear are tuned down to the monotone crank we are sold and told to like by crunk record companies.
Brianne G gave it a6:
Maybe it just requires a few more plays, but I'm not feeling this album like the first two. And live, the songs just don't pop the same way. I'm not giving up on them but they're not helping themselves.
Louise H. gave it a10:
Fantastic, love it. Songs are a much better quality, particulrly like Like It Too Much
Sommer gave it a9:
As good or better than there previous two albums. A fantastic album.
Emma S gave it a10:
OWTH is BRILLIANT! Some may call it un-Kaisery, what with the rap from Sway, the female vocals and string arrangements and all that but I think it's really nice that they're experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. It's much better than running the risk of making an album exactly the same as Yours Truly or Employment and becoming repetitive. I may be biased as a Kaiser fan, but there's no song on here that I actually dislike. OK, Sway's rap isn't really my thing but as rap goes, it ain't too bad. Also the new songs are fabulous live, especially as the band has so much energy. I think people are too ready to shoot this album down because it doesn't have a "new Ruby" or a "new Riot" but I don't think it needs to. I think the songs on OWTH should be seen for the good songs they are without having to compete with Ruby and IPAR.
