Description:

Gymshorts is back with a new album titled Knock Knock. The first song, “Good at Bein’ Bad” (Track 1) is a nice groovy song with equally groovy guitar riffs in the background. “You Blew It” (Track 2) is like an amped up sequel to Track 1. I personally liked “Copycat” (Track 3) and “All Nighter” (Track 6) because the lyrics were fun and relatable. “Gotta Get Away” (Track 7) is another upbeat song that I could see play when cartoon characters would get sucked into a vacuum hole after a lot of time thinking. “Ding Dong Ditch” (Track 8) is more of the heavier songs of the album, although still fun to listen to while “Breathin’ on Me” (Track 9) is a slower song compared to the rest. The album ends with “Go Fish” (Track 10) which adds a nice finishing touch to the nifty pieces. Overall, I felt like the songs all started to sound the same after listening to it for awhile. However, I liked how Gymshorts kept the same fun sound throughout their album.
