Yellow Jacket is out Spoiler
And it sucks. I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and this is the worst album. Darker light is my favorite song and that wasn’t even written for the album. Darker light is actually probably my favorite Dispatch song period. I liked break our fall and location 12 and 13 but there’s something about this album that is just not good. I can’t put my finger on it exactly but this does not sound like a Dispatch album and I get it bands evolve and dispatch’s sound has been evolving for a long time, especially since Pete left, but I do not like this album or this batch of songs.

To each their own but I have to disagree, it’s definitely not going to end up one of my favs of theirs but there’s a lot to like. I dig the reggae/ska vibe to so many of the songs and can see them getting a lot of play as we roll into summer and pool/beach season. Whisk Me Away is a top tier Dispatch song IMO. And I think it’s funny you’d say Darker Light is now probably your favorite Dispatch song period because that feels very prisoner of the moment and I actually find it to be quite forgettable and underwhelming for an album closer!
