I saw it, but I never thought I’d make it down that road. I kept leaving parts of me out where everyone could see and it’s always low. The walls are finally bare except the nails that cover up the holes atop the stereo. If I took them out, the eyes that are disguised would see through the window.
Did I forget the scene beyond me? It’s the coldest season, so there’s not a reason to go outside my home tonight.
I need to find a way to fill the spots of empty space, ‘cause the floors are finally bare, but the signs are everywhere – the squares of dust where the table used to be. I found some change to get me to the store: a bitter reward, a spark of sympathy, left by some months of negligence that never seemed to be.
Did I forget what restriction means? It’s the coldest season, so there’s not a reason to go outside my home tonight.
If I’m moving in the right way, you’ll never mind the mess, as long as it’s careless and the pile in the corner is not a sign that something’s wrong. It’s just a relic that I left from feeling overwrought.

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
