The Story So Far - I Want To Disappear Review

Return to Music Reviews 2024

The story so far are juggernauts in the world of morden pop punk. They have been grinding it out for 10+ years and always keeping their fans satisfied with emotional anthems. They have been gone for awhile, and their last album, ‘proper dose,’ was a smash hit for the band and catapulted them into stardom even more. With this new album, they don't quite match the highs of their last album but are still able to make a quality album. With infectious drums, powerful vocals with great metaphors laced through out the album, and playful riffs to make you feel something warm inside you. They can still tap into what makes their sound so unique by being raw and playful at the same time. They play things safely on this album and make very familiar-sounding pop punk that anyone can enjoy. Have they pushed the sound of TSSF further? No,  not really, but they made some enjoyable jams here. From standard pop punk songs like “letterman” to odd-sounding tracks like “jump the gun” or acoustic bangers like “I want to disaper,"  you get some nice, good-quality songs. The drumming is the most entertaining part of this record with how nice the drum fills are and how tight he is playing. The vocals are still very powerful, but in some early tracks it feels like they are laid a little too low. The bass adds some thickness here and there but doesn't really have much of a presence it feels. The guitars are light and soft and go with the pop punk vibes on here nicely. It's not the work from them, but it's still a decent album to spin here and there if you want to rotate out of their older catalog.

RATING: 8/10
