Review

"Box Car Racer" crashes through the scene like fresh spray paint on a forgotten underpass. Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker rip away from Blink-182’s glossy pop hooks, tearing into rougher textures with David Kennedy and Anthony Celestino in the mix. The grit here is deliberate—tracks like "I Feel So" and "There Is" don’t just echo punk roots, they bare their teeth, echoing everything from the Replacements' melancholy sneer to D.R.I.'s punch-to-the-gut urgency.

You can feel the crew pouring out volume and raw honesty, as if these songs were the stuff snuck into the margins of mainstream albums—letters to a world too polished to understand. Every rhythm and layer feels more urgent, sprung from cramped garages and midnight alleyways rather than stadium stages. "Box Car Racer" dares to blister and brood, hitting harder with emotion and muddy charm—the kind of swagger you’d chalk straight onto the nearest train car. - Raven
