The Soul's sound has evolved and matured with each release which is what you'd expect from a band with 20+ years behind them. All that said, I've always greeted a new album with a little hesitance (hence why I'm finally listening to and reviewing this album years after it's release).

I've been a Bouncing Souls fan for quite a while so I suppose that with every release at this point, I'm somewhat expecting (or wanting) another Maniacal Laughter or S/T. Comet is not that. That foundation is there for sure, but it's built upon by more years of experience. There is deep-set emotion and connection here and I for one love it. The Bouncing Souls have always provided a very cathartic and spiritual experience in the past and this album continues that way.

Comet has a surprisingly aggressive sound. There may not be any songs about throwing toilets off of roofs, but there's no lack of that same spirit of fun and true, punk rock transformation.
