Open Wide

Confident, sleek, and finally sounding like a band who've stepped out of their own shadow. Widens the palette beyond the guitar anthems, letting in gospel choir, glam flourishes, and 80s tinged synths without losing that arena sized instinct they've always had. Billy (Yeah Yeah Yeah) is the clear crowd pleaser, the kind of track built for a sing along the second it drops. Still Young leans hardest into the U2 comparisons, but earns it with genuine yearning rather than just imitation. Not every experiment lands equally, but the ambition feels real rather than forced. Their most confident record yet, even with dad's shadow still lingering.
