User Album Review
Structurally, things aren’t as jagged anymore, with sparse verses either chugging or drifting along then exploding into meaty chunky choruses, like in “Buck Me Off”, “Backslidin’” and “Lean in When I Suffer”.
This is the most listener-friendly and accessible that Speedy Ortiz have ever been. But the band hasn’t left behind their heavy grunge sound, despite what many long-time fans will think when they listen to Twerp Verse. They’ve just given their sound a clever makeover, and taken the next step in their evolution as a band by doing so. “The new professionals have got a plan”, announces Dupuis in “Sport Death”. And some plan it is.
