what did /mu/ think p̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶5̶6̶7̶

Not good but they more than made up for it with that Kickstarter album, How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence. Best album of their career IMO.

I liked if in high school but these days I think it's their worst. The band actually became what they were making fun of on YRTA instead of ironically embracing it to make a point. Honestly, the only post-YRTA release I have any real fondness for is Bad Choices Made Easy, and that's a Left Rights release.

I liked it back when I was in middle and high school, but I do agree that they became what they were mocking by making dance pop that panders pretty much exclusively to mall goths... It still has some great tracks, though, like Revenge, Animal, and On It... Doesn't come even remotely close to the highs of Tight or FGWSSS. Even YRTA was better, and I wasn't a huge fan of that one either.

YRTA worked for me on a conceptual level, there's a clear attempt at making their sound more accessible and songwriting more conventional, yet like half the songs belittle the very audience listening to the album with the title track, Stupid MF and Bullshit being almost as on the nose about it as humanly possible. I also think it's funny that it's the album that made them popular, which in a way proved the album's own message right.

I think the album art being a cross and it being labeled as religious music on iTunes helped them generate controversy and keep their punk cred too
