Med-pace rock with some tempo changes. Male vocals, guitar, bass, and female drummer. There are at least two main vocalists (tough to distinguish – a third may also have some lead). The unique but effective vocals add a lot, some are not quite duets but are more than just backing. FCC on 5. Recommend 2,3,4,7,8,9,12.
1 – straight ahead and catchy
2 – more guitar work and more urgent emo vocals, brief guitar solo, catchy chorus
3 – med-fast, good beat
4 – med pop, uptempo, pretty backing female vocals in chorus
5 – FCC “fuck you” at 1:20 rem., guitar lead with angry lyrics
6 – softer verses but still med, tempo changes, strings?
7 – heavy guitar, two weaving vocalists, some of fastest parts of CD
8 – bicycle bell at start and end, simple, light beat, fun
9 – country tinge, slower, lovely
10 – short (less than 1 min)
11 – spacey and bigger guitars after a slightly chaotic start
12 – unlisted track, lo-fi, vocals and acoustic guitar, funny use of words in chorus
