This is simply and purely refreshing punk from a band who knows the genre as well as anybody, and sure, the band’s legacy and tireless years of honing their sound play an undeniable role, but it should not be the primary focus. The band’s lyrical approach on The World Is Still Here and So Are We is meant to be a kaleidoscope of emotions and experiences that are deeply personal to the band, yet presented in a way where the listener can envision themselves in these emotional states and connect deeply with the band’s reality. The World Is Still Here and So Are We is a wildly refreshing departure from the manicured world we live in, and welcomes back one of punk’s most innovative and underappreciated bands.
