Controversial takes we're afraid to admit

Plus, our takes on the new songs released this week.

This week, John and Tyler review songs from Hot Mulligan, The Story So Far, LØLØ, and The Home Team. They then round out the episode by sharing their hot take reactions on the controversial opinions fans of the scene have but are too embarrassed to admit.

Some of those hot takes are:

• The Offspring never gets the credit they deserve

• MxPx is just as good as blink-182

• Pop-punk acoustic tracks are just sad emo

• All-American Rejects peaked with their debut album

• Fall Out Boy’s Take This to Your Grave is the band’s best album

• Mest’s Wasting Time is a reference album for the genre of pop-punk

• Sum 41 is criminally underrated

• Paramore’s new album This Is Why isn’t good

• Panic! At The Disco isn’t an important pillar of pop punk and emo

• Simple Plan performing live without a bass player diminishes the band

• Machine Gun Kelly’s Tickets to My Downfall is a great album and brought pop punk back.

• blink-182’s latest album One More Time… isn’t that good.
