I stand up and I’m spent. Did I give up on all the years that I had left? Was I a focused machine or a paperback book, full of simple stories that never told you where to look?
I don’t think if I had the chance I’d change it. But I wish I had the chance to rearrange it. We’re all tied down in some way to the things that we want to be.
What did they say to us when we kept on asking questions? I’m not in tune with the direction. I’m not sitting on a shelf. We just thought that we could become better versions of ourselves, but we should learn to manage our expectations.
I don’t know that I wanted to buy into it. But I always thought I would. We’re all tied down in some way to the things that we want to be.

A perfect punk album. What always amazes me is that it's littered with melodies and lyrics good enough on their own to build an entire song around, but Captain We're Sinking has so many great ideas, they don't need to stretch any single one beyond its welcome. This will have you coming back over and over again. John Martin
I know... late to the party.... but I read somewhere that this is a mixture of replacements and early GGD and thought I'd check it out.... really like it. Mully
It was absolutely fabulous to see you play in St. Louis at FUBAR on 6/20/15. I especially appreciated the shout-out from Victor when you played Fire Escape. My daughter was impressed and my coolness factor went up a notch.
This CD has gotten extended playtime in my car and in my office. I'm introducing it to as many people as possible.
I look forward to seeing Awkward Age again. You have a tremendous future ahead of you. Jay Kanerva

I feel Japandroids are growing into a Canadian version of Andrew W. K, a total expression of masculine healthy positivity without constantly declaring themselves as such or shaping everything into a manifesto.
There's also a certain muscular Canadiana that you can see in bands like The Hip, or Constantines.
It's really cool to see a duo grow into confidence from Post-Nothing, and as someone who _really_ connected with that album's anxieties, they give me both hope and an aspirational model. Gaelan D'costa
