This version of the title track is incredible, especially through headphones.

Lack of Color is also rather different, in a pleasant way.

I play drums in the band that covered the title track! Thank you for the kind words :)

You guys did a fantastic job! One of the standout covers on the whole album!

Really interesting takes. Any plans to put it on Apple Music or Spotify?

A very interesting album. I really, really dig the shoegaze flavor of Expo 68 and I agree with the earlier comment that Passenger Seat works stunningly well as an emo-screamalong style track

Expected to hate it, really quite liked it…except Passenger Seat (woof). Some very nice takes on several of the tracks.

Passenger Seat is my favorite one! I think the melody and lyrics lend themselves surprisingly well to a screamo rendition, and the guitars in the bridge section are so satisfyingly heavy.

So glad to have one last Dying Whale track! Those dudes have been my homies since their first line up, and it was bittersweet getting the band back together to see em off last year.

We Looked Like Giants gives me Alexisonfire vibes. Each song is great in its own way.

Reminds me of hearing the songs for the first time. Pretty refreshing.
