State Champs- State Champs (November 8th, 2024) • Page 2

Songs are solid if a little forgettable, I think at this point I’ll have to accept they’re just going to put out the same album every few years

 

Wow I wasn't expecting a new album from them so soon! I've enjoyed all of their albums so far, they don't really miss for me even if they're not reinventing the wheel or anything.

New songs are pretty much the same feelings. It's not new for them but they do it well, I dig them.

 

last album was really solid. i don't get the sense that this will be much of an evolution but they have never seem interested in that.

i actually feel like they could do a 'the maine' style record really well.

 

Songs are taking back to Around The World and Back.

 

Agreed outside of "Act like that" which was an earworm for me

 

Both songs are good but I like Too Late To Say a bit more.

 

Both songs sound like State Champs

 

weird timing, i just revisited kings not even a week ago, love that album!

 

Silver Cloud is so faceless and bland, I don't understand how they're five albums in and writing songs like this?

 

was hesitant in saying it but yeah, agreed. i sort of wonder how any band doesn't get bored of writing pop punk in general

 

well like neck deep took an album away to write more alt/rock style songs, on their fourth album but on the one they dropped this year, holy shit was it good, they came back to writing catchy pop punk and its great imo

 

Had no idea Neck Deep dropped an album this year, lol. Their last album was actually by far their best IMO

 

yeah it came out in janurary or feburary i think, i like it a lot. saw them around then too, always a solid show live!

 

Forgot the ND album was 2024. Winter pop-punk releases tend to get lost in my mind.

 

it was January, thanks wiki! i was close haha Neck Deep (album) - Wikipedia

 

unsurprisingly i wish neck deep kept building on that album 4 sound haha

 

Loved this bands debut but everything since has been lacklustre

 

I thought their first 3 albums were great, but their sound is starting to get stale. KOTNA had enough well-written songs to justify their continued existence (Eventually, Half Empty, Act Like That, Fake It) but "Silver Cloud" is by far their least interesting single, and it feels like they have nothing new to say. Bummer, but hopefully the rest of the album is better. "Too Late To Say" is fun enough for me to keep my hopes up.

 

Living Proof was simply a tease, I fear. I really was hoping they'd continue to grow in that direction. Both of these songs are really boring to me.

 

They cooked so hard on Living Proof tbh how was that 6 years ago

 

Someone fix the thread title it’s bothering me

 

LOL i didn't even notice the j

Cmoney86 gotta do it

 

after jamming these a bunch i like em, i think i like too late to say over silver cloud and am excited to hear more, i also think it's pretty cool and ambitious to put out 2 songs instead of 1 with the album announcement, most artists don't do that. long live state chumps!

 

is this the 'for the record' 2010 line up lol

 

I haven’t listened to this band since The Finer Things. That’s a great pop punk album. I’m trying Kings of the New Age now and it’s catchy.
