The seventh album from the Torrance, California-based outfit Joyce Manor continues their run of super short, catchy, chant-along anthems, with some added twists and turns in the brief proceedings. I Used To Go To This Bar clocks in under twenty minutes with nine tunes that sound primed and ready to explode at each junction. Sonically, the album springs off Joyce Manor’s previous single (40 oz to Fresno’s “Gotta Let It Go”), pushing things to eleven for a large, arena-ready sound. With the band recently playing withWeezer and revisiting their earlier career, the headbopping “Well Whatever It Was” and the emo love song title track would both fit snugly on past Joyce Manor efforts. Joyce Manor continues playing to their strengths with I Used To Go To This Bar, going big with microdosed strong songs that blast on by.
