This is my favorite album from Porpoise yet. It has all the fun and energy of earlier albums, with more polish (both in arrangements and production) and a broader emotional range. "Big Cat Tag Team Take Down" is a hard-driving crowd pleaser with a nice guitar solo. California Racist, Silver Bullet and Soldier Bear all bring out a softer, more melodic side of the band that hasn't been so apparent in the past. These songs also show the band's ability to maintain their tongue-in-cheek playfulness while taking on more serious topics. Thanks Poise!

cool chanting bit at the end.

California racist: Stange title? xD but a pretty good song

Silver Bullet: this is cool song, with a rly catchy riff.
