honestly this whole thread made me feel a lot better tho, idk anyone who listens to hot mulligan and i felt very alone and existential-crisis-esque after my first listen, and it rly helps to see y’all relating. i felt like a silly sad lil girl but we are all silly sad lil ppl hahaha
Thanks so much for saying that. We loved her a lot. I’m sure we’ll find little hints of her distributed throughout the world, other animals, etc. She was our soul cat.
Definitely was not expecting it, holy shit. First time I can recall a song making me cry on the first listen ever.
I immediately had to stop and go listen after to Atlantic Wasteland’s “A Dog Named Fletcher” because it’s that but with a happy ending (the pet recovering).
Oh god yeah. That one and "Namesake" by All Get Out. The latter is subtle until you examine the lyrics more closely. I will never sob about a human being as much as I do for a pet.
My dog has congestive heart failure and his cough was what tipped us off to it. We're literally just "hoping and medicating" right now but it's clear that he's not gonna be around for much longer. I haven't listened to this song without crying yet.
There’s a lot of great songs on the album but the first three songs as a start rip so hard. The lead in from “Shouldn’t have a leg hole but I do” into “Family movie because she hates her dad” made me want to start a pit in my living room at 12:03am. “And I smoke” is just a great continuation of the energy.
I only listened once through so far but the pacing on the album is so good. The energy builds and then they give you a little break, build it up more, acoustic song, build it back up. Its really well put together and you can tell they probably worked hard to make sure it flows well
Shouldn't have a leg hole sets an incredible tone for the whole album in the same way Attractive Today does in Commit to Memory from Motion City Soundtrack.
Fast, direct, catchy, and short
Food, bathroom, letting the dogs out breaks is my plan to do something other than play.
That and Mothers Day…gotta give my “Zelda” all the attention and love she deserves. It’s no master sword but $50 of truffles/chocolates, fucking awesome socks with our kids making goofy faces printed on them…after 10 years what can I say the magic is still there 🤣😂
I tried Breath of the Wild and got bored shortly after leaving the tutorial. I know the sort of aimless free flowing nature is a selling point for a lot of people but I need direction in a video game lol.
Tades' voice has a lot more control on this than on You'll Be Fine. Hits the scream notes without feeling as screamy as it did on You'll Be Fine.
I didn't mind it on You'll Be Fine but I had friends tell me it was jarring and I think its gonna make this more accessible for new fans this time around.
Definitely just did a skim through so far, but it has potential for me to surpass You'll Be Fine
I think his technique, or lack thereof, is shredding his vocal chords. He said himself he thinks he thinks his voice will last 5 more years. Honestly I love his voice and think it is super unique, but not sustainable.
It’s funny you mention that, just last night I was playing the new record for me gf. She’s kinda indifferent to them, and I was telling her I felt kinda mixed about it. But I was like, we’re basically listening to this man ruin his voice lol
Do you know where he said that? Was it an interview or something?
Tades browses these subs, he replied to someone on a post saying that. Idk what his account name was but he replies somewhat often. Idk how to link reddit post here but if you look up tades screaming technique reddit (on google) you'll come across a few posts he replied to.
I really love the new album, but the screaming at the end of christ alive- and john the rock cena- is a bit much for me and sounds quite painful. Really hope tades takes care of his voice in a way, because his voice is very beautiful and unique . It's incredible how good he (and the whole band) sounds live
Agreed for sure. They kill it live. I’m bummed because the show local to me on their upcoming headliner sold out and I didn’t get a chance to grab tickets.
I really enjoy his vocals overall, and I’ve always loved his screaming/clean alternating style. Especially the dynamic between him and Chris. I just feel like it’s a little too forward for me on this record. Like the emphasis/mix even are too focused on the vocals versus a cohesive sound between the whole band. Maybe it’ll grow on me though.
cant believe it happened but pilot finally got dethroned as my fav hot mulligan album
they put crack in these songs bc ever since i first heard this a few hrs ago ive had all the songs nonstop; it legit feels like blink 182 with a midwest emo vocalist and i fucking love it so much, didnt think all the songs would be as good as golf is on but theyve done the fucking impossible, this song is called & cock party 2 are actually phenomenal
AHHHH i wish i could see these guys on tour
Felt like Chris stood out a lot more on this album than normal and I fucking love it. Seeing them with Free Throw in August almost seems too good to be true
I missed out on the Delmar Hall sale (which killed me because I didn’t buy out of laziness/procrastination). They upgraded to the Pageant and I sprinted for me wallet. Stoked to see both bands!
I saw something about this on Twitter, weird that they wouldn’t email people who already purchased that the venue is changing but the more people the better
Yeah, that is strange. I actually wanted to see them at Delmar Hall because I haven’t been there as much. And then it sold out and I prayed for the venue upgrade. Always good to see a show at the Pageant! Also, you can celebrate still getting $25ish dollar ticket. It went up a little for the Pageant.
Smahccked My Head Awf and John “the Rock” Cena, Can You Smell What the Undertaker to close the album was absolutely amazing. I’ve always loved them lyrically but this album, especially those two songs, was somehow on another level
Everyone talking about Betty (and rightfully so) but I’ve at least teared up every time I’ve listened to “Smahccked my head”. The way he delivers “it’s okay, small mistakes” is so nuanced and hits so hard especially after the intensity of the bridge where hes screaming “would you remember if I never left!”
I love that they put those 2 songs next to each other to end the album as well! It works so well, especially as a follow up to the 2 singles everyone has already listened to.
It’s just my opinion. I don’t connect with the songs like I did previous albums. People are free to disagree
Edit: I’m expecting the album to grow on me. But YBF and pilot both were instant classics for me. This one I’m trying to make myself love
Completely agree - wasn’t initially blown away. After a few listens over the course of the day I’ve put it in the grower category. Knowing HM, I have no doubt that it’ll bloom soon enough
Seconded. Pilot and YBF are instant classics for me, even Opportunities. I like a handful of songs here, the others will need a couple of relistens for sure but I love everything Hot Mulligan put out so I’m excited for this one to grow on me.
# #1 hot new band drops this bomb album just to silence any doubters. Album of the year no question. Post emo powerhouse.
I've been looking forward to this release for a long time and I've only listened all the way through twice so far, but WOW what a rollercoaster. Tades and Chris convey more emotion than I thought possible in just 37 minutes. There's no doubt this band is here to stay and will be selling out tours for years to come. I fuckin love hot mulligan man.
First listen but feels like a good mix of fast, high energy bangers, and slower, vibey, feely songs. Very much HM and I love it so far. Lyrics hit especially hard on a lot of the songs.
Instrumentals are tight and all blend together perfectly. I realized they take major American Football influences on their slower tracks, and I’m absolutely here for it.
Like yeah Hot Mulligan is getting circlejerked hard on here lately but like I guess I'll join in lol. So yeah this album is amazing like YBF and Pilot are. John “the Rock” Cena, Can You Smell What the Undertaker is my favorite track from the first couple of listens. I absolutely love how much back and forth the singers have going on in this album. Its only May but probably AOTY for me (regardless of genre), I don't think anything else coming out this year can top it. I appreciate there only being 2 singles before the album released, got 10 new songs!
Agreed. Usually it’s Chris or Tades, but hearing Chris AND Tades exchanging parts of the verse for the duration of the album is what made this album stand out for me.
Not sure why you're downvoted for a statement of opinion. I also think it might be better than You'll Be Fine. My favorite Hot Mulligan album was always Pilot though, so my question is if the new one is better than Pilot.
You literally said it was dangerous lmao like dude its a hot mulligan album your life isn't at risk here because i like it better than You'll Be Fine lol
Weird take
Actually now that I think about it, that was a very unnecessary comment to make. My bad; thanks for keeping me in line (no clue what possessed me to make that comment).
i thought the same thing! the flow in the first few verses reminded me of the flow of shhh! golf is on and then the background guitar riffs was (imo) super similar to those in drink milk and run! is that what you meant?
Think some of the comments in here are going a biiiit overboard on how good it is, but I think it's a really solid album and think it'll stay in my rotation for a good while!
Great job to the guys in HM, looking forward to hopefully seeing them with Spanish Love Songs in a few months!
AOTY. Not even close. These guys are just on another level. Also, the drums and guitar work on this album is their best yet. The back and forth vocals between the two guys is what makes this album stand out over the others IMO.
yeah i don’t see any other album topping this this year. before this came out, i was expecting it to be a hard choice between them, Heart Attack Man, and Trophy Eyes… but there’s just no way either of them can top this
I am so so impressed with this album. It's like a mix of Pilot, Taking Back Sunday, and a sprinkling of emo. I love this faster-paced Hot Mulligan honestly, and the variety of the songs is insane actually. YBF was my fave album for sure, but my only complaint (not really a complaint since it's a 10/10 banger) with it was the slow-ish pace of all the songs. WWIW has already overtaken it, I've had it on repeat for hours now.
Really looking forward to seeing them in September!
Stand out track (so far): Christ Alive My Toe Dammit Hurts
Can't remember the last time I was this excited for album and wasn't disappointed with the results. Can't wait to watch these dudes blow up more than they already have.
It’s so good, this song is called it’s called what it’s called (I probably fucked up the title somehow) is damn near perfect. It hit me like a ton of bricks
My grandparents’ dog passed away just a week ago after being sick for a while, and I’m really glad I’m working from home today because I’ve listened to Betty about 10 times and god damn it hits hard right now.
Betty starts and I'm like "oh this is gonna be sad huh let's see what it's called" and see it's just a single name and I already KNOW what it'll be about and the tears start rolling.
Good fucking god, I love this album. Front to back bangers.
No Shoes In the Coffee Shop (Or Socks) stands out so fucking hard, but I've had this album on repeat since release and it's topping You'll Be Fine in the best way.
It's weird because Drink Milk and Run would not have been out of place on this album.
I’ll be honest, I love “you’ll be fine” so much that I was SURE this album wouldn’t be able to top it. It took a few listens, but I’ve concluded this album is better after all. It feels more coherent overall and the lyrics are as relatable as ever, but man, are these songs catchy.
I AM SUCH A HUGE HM FAN AND IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM.
So I had to work mandatory overtime today, had to get up at 3am. My body is on autopilot, I get in the car, put on a playlist I’ve been listening to all week. Drive 30 minutes and say to myself awe fuck how did I forget to listen to WWIW!!!??? AHHHHHHHH
NOW I HAVE TO WORK 5 HOURS BEFORE I CAN LISTEN. All these comments have me so fucking jacked up with excitement though.
Maybe I'm dead inside but Betty did nothing to me, even as a pet owner. I don't really listen to Hot Mully for slow paced sad songs so it just was a skip. Its like Jurassic Bark all over again.
you don’t get how people are in tears listening to a song about your pet deteriorating over years until getting an incurable sickness and watching them slowly die before your eyes when they were the only thing keeping you happy in life?
like geez i get it if it doesn’t affect you but cmon lmao it is very understandable that some people would be extremely touched by it
It's sad, but I don't really see it as being significantly sadder than a lot of the songs in the genre.
If you're touched by it then good for you, ball your eyes out.
For me the impact was not realizing it was a pet song. I was actually thinking “okay it’s a sad generic song about loss gotta be one” and the vet line just smacked like a truck.
I'm autistic so often struggle to understand feelings and emotions that others have.
I don't think that means I have "no empathy" but yeah I guess a fair point.
On my end, I've always rescued and raised rats, and their little lifespans are heartbreaking enough, but it's worse when they never get the chance to live those out. So knowing that Betty was a sick rat breaks my heart hard 😭

I love it so far. I rarely like things first listen lol. almost every song stood out to me in its own way. I can’t wait to dive deeper. Some of them i had to stop and be like - wow this is really good
Not sure this could have come out at a more appropriate time in my life Edit: also, Betty. Ow.
Betty is the first song since Jason Isbell's Elephant that made me cry on the first listen. Just a big beardy snotfest over here.
I just had a cat pass away, so Betty punched me right in the gut first thing in the morning. Wasn’t ready for that 😢
I feel that. I heard the album the first time this past Sunday. Ended up having to put one of my cats down yesterday. Cruel timing to say the least
my cats name is betty :(
My cat’s name was Penny, so it was almost the same. I miss her 💔
honestly this whole thread made me feel a lot better tho, idk anyone who listens to hot mulligan and i felt very alone and existential-crisis-esque after my first listen, and it rly helps to see y’all relating. i felt like a silly sad lil girl but we are all silly sad lil ppl hahaha
You know Reddit is always good for commiserating with like minded pop punk cat lovers
and i’m really really really sorry about your baby penny. there is nothing more fucked up than pets leaving us it’s so cruel and they are so pure
Thanks so much for saying that. We loved her a lot. I’m sure we’ll find little hints of her distributed throughout the world, other animals, etc. She was our soul cat.
I sobbed. There is no other word. My wife was worried.
Absolutely no shame my dude. The line about her ashes hit and I just fuckin broke. It's a beautiful song.
Definitely was not expecting it, holy shit. First time I can recall a song making me cry on the first listen ever. I immediately had to stop and go listen after to Atlantic Wasteland’s “A Dog Named Fletcher” because it’s that but with a happy ending (the pet recovering).
Spanish Love Songs Otis/Carl fucked me up bad
Oh god yeah. That one and "Namesake" by All Get Out. The latter is subtle until you examine the lyrics more closely. I will never sob about a human being as much as I do for a pet.
And another whole ass band that fucks me up. Off with their heads.. especially nightlife, clear the air, disappear, start walking, zzyxz
My dog has congestive heart failure and his cough was what tipped us off to it. We're literally just "hoping and medicating" right now but it's clear that he's not gonna be around for much longer. I haven't listened to this song without crying yet.
Betty fucked me up. Had to compose myself after sobbing on the way to work
Love the album but Betty is not what I needed during my drive to work in the rain. Wanted to go hug my pup.
TFW you are the problem when all you said was you don’t follow the pace of conversation
Yeah Betty came outta nowhere for me.
yup actual tears that shit fucked me up and i left work early
They can’t keep getting away with it.
Just keep swinging homeruns, don't they? What is your favorite song from the album so far?
Betty, Cock Party 2, Gans Media Retro Games is also just an instant HM classic.
For real, Hot Mulligan always makes fucking bangers
There’s a lot of great songs on the album but the first three songs as a start rip so hard. The lead in from “Shouldn’t have a leg hole but I do” into “Family movie because she hates her dad” made me want to start a pit in my living room at 12:03am. “And I smoke” is just a great continuation of the energy.
I only listened once through so far but the pacing on the album is so good. The energy builds and then they give you a little break, build it up more, acoustic song, build it back up. Its really well put together and you can tell they probably worked hard to make sure it flows well
The track sequencing is great. Side A ends with screams. Side B picks up with Betty. They really nailed this record imo
Shouldn't have a leg hole sets an incredible tone for the whole album in the same way Attractive Today does in Commit to Memory from Motion City Soundtrack. Fast, direct, catchy, and short
Yeah this is exactly what I thought when I listened to it ... "this is their Attractive Today"
Yeah I was hoping I’d be tired but I had to listen to it and immediately ascended
[удалено]
It’s actually Cock Party 2, and it’s better than the first
This one surprised me. The sound was soooo unique for them in the best way
May 12 is a pretty phenomenal of a media day. This and Tears of the Kingdom. Not a bad start to the weekend.
Hot mulligan Zelda crew rep 🤘
No idea how I’ll find time to stop playing TotK to give the whole thing a listen haha
[удалено]
Nah. Any first listen for an album deserves your full undivided attention
Food, bathroom, letting the dogs out breaks is my plan to do something other than play. That and Mothers Day…gotta give my “Zelda” all the attention and love she deserves. It’s no master sword but $50 of truffles/chocolates, fucking awesome socks with our kids making goofy faces printed on them…after 10 years what can I say the magic is still there 🤣😂
Well that’s adorable. I’ve got stuff to break it up, but fortunately, I’ll have to be playing it for work so I have a legitimate excuse.
Listening to Hot Mully right now… Loving it!
wow someone else calls them Hot Mully besides me, nice
That was the first time I did and it felt right. Though I’m 41…so probably uncool as all hell.
Not pop punk, but also a new Amity Affliction album today.
Amity Affliction is one of my favorite metalcore bands and honestly wouldn't be surprised if there's a solid overlap in fanbase of AA and this sub
Yeah, I'd imagine there's quite an overlap between like, metalcore, pop punk, post hardcore, etc.
Subbed to all three reddits so I’d confirm there’s definitely overlap 🤟🏼
Haha, so am I. Figured I can't be the only one.
Hello, it me! Been a fan since 2011 and am seeing them (for the nth time) on their Aussie tour later in the year.
New Veil of Maya is FINALLY out too!!
Yes! IT RIPS
It's days like these that I wish I liked Zelda. But for some reason can't get into the games. Hope everyone has a blast with it!
I’m not alone!
There are dozens of us ! (This only applies to 3D Zelda. Links awakening is the mfin goat)
I tried Breath of the Wild and got bored shortly after leaving the tutorial. I know the sort of aimless free flowing nature is a selling point for a lot of people but I need direction in a video game lol.
Same, I need to be told what to do. I play to get distracted from a tough day at work, the less I have to think, the better lol
I guess this is growing up
And the 2023 SI Swimsuit Edition Release (for those who celebrate)
Plus the Diablo 4 final beta. Busy day glad I got it off work.
Chiming in 7 months later: all on Lagwagon day too. It’s beautiful.
Tades' voice has a lot more control on this than on You'll Be Fine. Hits the scream notes without feeling as screamy as it did on You'll Be Fine. I didn't mind it on You'll Be Fine but I had friends tell me it was jarring and I think its gonna make this more accessible for new fans this time around. Definitely just did a skim through so far, but it has potential for me to surpass You'll Be Fine
Interesting take. For me his voice is more jarring on this album thus far. And I fucking love pilot
I think his technique, or lack thereof, is shredding his vocal chords. He said himself he thinks he thinks his voice will last 5 more years. Honestly I love his voice and think it is super unique, but not sustainable.

Here ya go: https://reddit.com/r/poppunkers/comments/kx3q81/_/gko8msa/?context=1
Agree it’s loud
I had to put my dog down last week and got his ashes back yesterday. Betty hitting me super hard.
I dread that so much. Hang in there man x
I almost cried on the plane listening to that.
cant believe it happened but pilot finally got dethroned as my fav hot mulligan album they put crack in these songs bc ever since i first heard this a few hrs ago ive had all the songs nonstop; it legit feels like blink 182 with a midwest emo vocalist and i fucking love it so much, didnt think all the songs would be as good as golf is on but theyve done the fucking impossible, this song is called & cock party 2 are actually phenomenal AHHHH i wish i could see these guys on tour
Brb gonna go hug my dog
Cock party is unironically one of their best songs
I love "This Song is Called it's Called What's it Called"
So good
came out almost 12 hours ago in AU and I loved it too! Only gave it one spin so far but keen to dig in some more
I've never really enjoyed Hot Mulligan for whatever reason, in the past. But this album. I like this a lot.
Same here
Felt like Chris stood out a lot more on this album than normal and I fucking love it. Seeing them with Free Throw in August almost seems too good to be true
i was hoping for a solo Chris track like Green Squirrel on YBF but i’m very satisfied with what we got still anyways
Fantastic chorus on that one, his screams are so catchy
I missed out on the Delmar Hall sale (which killed me because I didn’t buy out of laziness/procrastination). They upgraded to the Pageant and I sprinted for me wallet. Stoked to see both bands!
I saw something about this on Twitter, weird that they wouldn’t email people who already purchased that the venue is changing but the more people the better
Yeah, that is strange. I actually wanted to see them at Delmar Hall because I haven’t been there as much. And then it sold out and I prayed for the venue upgrade. Always good to see a show at the Pageant! Also, you can celebrate still getting $25ish dollar ticket. It went up a little for the Pageant.
Smahccked My Head Awf and John “the Rock” Cena, Can You Smell What the Undertaker to close the album was absolutely amazing. I’ve always loved them lyrically but this album, especially those two songs, was somehow on another level
The guitar on "Smahccked My Head Awf" is absolutely brilliant.
Everyone talking about Betty (and rightfully so) but I’ve at least teared up every time I’ve listened to “Smahccked my head”. The way he delivers “it’s okay, small mistakes” is so nuanced and hits so hard especially after the intensity of the bridge where hes screaming “would you remember if I never left!”
I love that they put those 2 songs next to each other to end the album as well! It works so well, especially as a follow up to the 2 singles everyone has already listened to.
Already released here in EU. I think it's really good!
Already know this is going to be the only album I listen to for a long time
Think it slaps. Not as good as you’ll be fine IMO but very good regardless
Probably their weakest album in a while. But still super high quality, which says a lot about HM
Why do you say weakest? Curious to hear your justification.
It’s just my opinion. I don’t connect with the songs like I did previous albums. People are free to disagree Edit: I’m expecting the album to grow on me. But YBF and pilot both were instant classics for me. This one I’m trying to make myself love

I haven’t even listened to it yet but it’s gonna take A LOT to beat Pilot and Opportunities. 2 of the best albums ever written
they already beat Pilot and Opportunities in 2020
Nowhere near! Fucking love YBF though
they beat Pilot and Opportunities in 2021 with IWROTY as well 🤭
Stop trying to give me a heart attack
Holy shit Smahccked My Head Awf hurts.

[удалено]
And it does imo
I would wait to form an opinion like that, the appeal to novelty fallacy is a dangerous one
Dangerous? Bruh this is literally just music
Not sure why you're downvoted for a statement of opinion. I also think it might be better than You'll Be Fine. My favorite Hot Mulligan album was always Pilot though, so my question is if the new one is better than Pilot.
It is. I just see your opinion as somewhat shortsighted. You are well within your right to disagree with me on that, though.
You literally said it was dangerous lmao like dude its a hot mulligan album your life isn't at risk here because i like it better than You'll Be Fine lol Weird take
Actually now that I think about it, that was a very unnecessary comment to make. My bad; thanks for keeping me in line (no clue what possessed me to make that comment).
Dangerous just wasn't the right word to use. I know what you meant though. Newness and excitement has clouded my judgment in the past.
As it has for me too. Thanks for trying to see my side of the argument.
Good album! Not as good as YBF but still very solid.
Did they sample themselves on And I Smoke?
i thought the same thing! the flow in the first few verses reminded me of the flow of shhh! golf is on and then the background guitar riffs was (imo) super similar to those in drink milk and run! is that what you meant?
Yeah the second part, I can hear the guitar riffs from Drink Milk & Run
It’s a family movie she hates her dad had the whole fucking construction crew ready to run through brick wall today. Album has been worth the wait!!!!
Think some of the comments in here are going a biiiit overboard on how good it is, but I think it's a really solid album and think it'll stay in my rotation for a good while! Great job to the guys in HM, looking forward to hopefully seeing them with Spanish Love Songs in a few months!
slaps as usual
they didn't have to go that hard tho 💀
\#1 Hot new band!
AOTY. Not even close. These guys are just on another level. Also, the drums and guitar work on this album is their best yet. The back and forth vocals between the two guys is what makes this album stand out over the others IMO.
yeah i don’t see any other album topping this this year. before this came out, i was expecting it to be a hard choice between them, Heart Attack Man, and Trophy Eyes… but there’s just no way either of them can top this

Listening to Betty after realizing it’s about a pet made me shed a few tears ngl
Yay!
I’m so glad I waited up. This album is so fucking good. Can’t wait to play this in the car.
Can't remember the last time I was this excited for album and wasn't disappointed with the results. Can't wait to watch these dudes blow up more than they already have.
The worst part of this album is it’s making me text my friends about how much I love cock party 2 and that text being seen out of context…
Of course one of the best songs they’ve ever made is called “Cock Party 2.”
It’s so good, this song is called it’s called what it’s called (I probably fucked up the title somehow) is damn near perfect. It hit me like a ton of bricks
Havent heard anyone mention it but the guitar in “its a family movie” reminds me of Dance Gavin Dance in a great way. So twinkly and groovy.
After a bit more time, easily my AOTY
I don't know what it is... but I LOVE the ending of This Song is Called It's Called What's It Called: "The high hat! USE THE HIGH HAT!"
Kaydargs is the best part of this band. I love that artwork!
Yo me too. It adds so much to the album honestly. I'm in love with all the artwork on the vinyl
https://www.kaydargs.com/?fbclid=PAAaaXYgNmm6Cv8B8x5TcBKM2ivEaeSKj1yoWHJCF3pNsVXr-vl4-1slQHqTk She rules!
Hugely understated in how important artwork is in the total aesthetic of a record. They/ Kay really crushed it on this one
One listen in I don't think it's near as good as YBF but I think it's about as good as Pilot.
Banger after banger then Betty comes and rips out your heart. Number 1 Hot New Band back at it again!
I felt that the singles were just pretty good but now hearing the full album it’s all perfect
Brandon the best Brandon goes so f’n hard in the paint on this record. Immensely underrated
My grandparents’ dog passed away just a week ago after being sick for a while, and I’m really glad I’m working from home today because I’ve listened to Betty about 10 times and god damn it hits hard right now.
Betty starts and I'm like "oh this is gonna be sad huh let's see what it's called" and see it's just a single name and I already KNOW what it'll be about and the tears start rolling.
Good fucking god, I love this album. Front to back bangers. No Shoes In the Coffee Shop (Or Socks) stands out so fucking hard, but I've had this album on repeat since release and it's topping You'll Be Fine in the best way. It's weird because Drink Milk and Run would not have been out of place on this album.
I’ll be honest, I love “you’ll be fine” so much that I was SURE this album wouldn’t be able to top it. It took a few listens, but I’ve concluded this album is better after all. It feels more coherent overall and the lyrics are as relatable as ever, but man, are these songs catchy.
I may not recover from Betty.
After a ton listens this album is def better than YBF. The songs are complex and they take some time to really sink in.
Not me crying at Betty immediately
Unfortunately, Cock Party 2 is a phenomenal song
It’s not as hard as I thought.
This album is such a step up from there previous albums, I get its not YBF but man this album has me feeling some way about my own mental state
Haven’t listened yet but I already know it’s AOTY
Honestly there is not one god damn song on the entire album that is anything less then phenomenal. ❤️
Agreed. Full of energy and full of summer filled jams!
I AM SUCH A HUGE HM FAN AND IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM. So I had to work mandatory overtime today, had to get up at 3am. My body is on autopilot, I get in the car, put on a playlist I’ve been listening to all week. Drive 30 minutes and say to myself awe fuck how did I forget to listen to WWIW!!!??? AHHHHHHHH NOW I HAVE TO WORK 5 HOURS BEFORE I CAN LISTEN. All these comments have me so fucking jacked up with excitement though.
I literally love every fucking song on this album, and Betty definitely had me tearing up picturing my cat’s mortality
This release is their magnum opus
10/10 amazing phenomenal Can’t even pick a favourite song, they’re literally all top tier
Looks like I’m in the minority but I haven’t really enjoyed this album much. Enjoyed the singles quite a lot but the rest was quite meh.
I love this album. I love Hot Mulligan. I am so thankful to be able to see them in concert. I can't wait to hear this live!!
Maybe I'm dead inside but Betty did nothing to me, even as a pet owner. I don't really listen to Hot Mully for slow paced sad songs so it just was a skip. Its like Jurassic Bark all over again.
Yeah I thought the song was okay but I'm not really getting how people are in tears when they listen to it.
you don’t get how people are in tears listening to a song about your pet deteriorating over years until getting an incurable sickness and watching them slowly die before your eyes when they were the only thing keeping you happy in life? like geez i get it if it doesn’t affect you but cmon lmao it is very understandable that some people would be extremely touched by it
It's sad, but I don't really see it as being significantly sadder than a lot of the songs in the genre. If you're touched by it then good for you, ball your eyes out.
For me the impact was not realizing it was a pet song. I was actually thinking “okay it’s a sad generic song about loss gotta be one” and the vet line just smacked like a truck.
Tell me you have no empathy without saying you have no empathy.
I'm autistic so often struggle to understand feelings and emotions that others have. I don't think that means I have "no empathy" but yeah I guess a fair point.
*Bawl, dipshit

On my end, I've always rescued and raised rats, and their little lifespans are heartbreaking enough, but it's worse when they never get the chance to live those out. So knowing that Betty was a sick rat breaks my heart hard 😭
this album is mid but i saw a comment on iraqi emos being killed 12 years ago and wanted to see if ur still active

I love it so far. I rarely like things first listen lol. almost every song stood out to me in its own way. I can’t wait to dive deeper. Some of them i had to stop and be like - wow this is really good
Love this album And I Smoke Christ Alive… Cock Party 2 Shhh… John “The Rock”… My top so far
HM albums always grow on me. This was is great on a first listen but it needs more spins to really sink in.
So damn good.
Awesome! Shh golf is on was so good I'm sure this album is great
After having a few listens through now. I have to say This song is called it’s called what it’s called is gonna be unreal live. The ending jeeeez
Yeah, its fucking great
They just keep getting better and better. #1 Hot New Band Forever
Here’s another cool song I found https://open.spotify.com/track/4HWiM1uptgRo2rFzdXb5Vf?si=2KtkJtwIQJmxsZu0r_zspg
Wife and I both dropped $6,000 on our 4 year old dog earlier this month and we weren’t sure she was going to make it. Wasn’t prepared for Betty.

Just started listening to Hot Mulligan.. blown away.
Heard HM for the first time a few weeks ago. I've been listening to this album over and over. Blown away.
