Date released: 14/11/25
The album has the same energy as the older songs, such as GTHC, Café Brawler, and Get In The Skip You Prick, but with their current vocalist, Angus Roberton. They are no stranger to writing uproarious lyrics about geeza culture while drinking lots of Stella Artois. I am certain that every non-British listener won't be able to comprehend the level of Englishness of this album. The album is 27 minutes long.
Gotta start off the album with their version of The National Anthem. It's freaking hysterical, you'll be laughing throughout the whole album. We all know, it ain't gonna disappoint us! Just like Sweet Can O' Mine (the parody of Sweet Caroline). Dun dun dun!
Site Mentality, featuring the famous Swiss cheese geeza, Marc Zelli from Paleface Swiss, was the first song they released in 2024. The song begins with a radio sample, in which the presenter announces who is playing on the radio. However, after shouting the two words (Site Mentality), the guitar riffs slightly remind me of Raise Your Voice by Obey The Brave. I love the nursery rhyme references used in the song, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', and the lines changed to 'you can meet me at the bar', which is very humorously appropriate. I could use that line in every photo I take with the fellas from Pintglass. The music video to the song is so funny!
From high-vis jackets to footy shirts and another banging collab that we've all been waiting for, Matt Honeycutt from Kublai Khan TX, is bringing American football to the UK. I find this song ironic because Matt Honeycutt is straight-edge, yet he's singing about beers (unless it's an alcohol-free one). I love the bit when vocalist Ben Mason says,"Look at my sausage!" when he is literally holding a sausage in the music video. Ben, we know what you were doing, trying to make us all wonder whether we have a dirty mind or not, LOL! That breakdown was freaking lush. Touchdown! On a different note, I wonder what Matt Honeycutt would be like if he were English. However, the chant at the beginning of the song would make a great TV advertisement for Stella Artois.
Doghouse is my personal favourite. The sounds of the phone notification would probably get you thinking, "Wait, that can't be my phone!" Oh yes, False Reality vocalist Rachel Rigby is tearing shit up in the doghouse. Arf arf!
I give this album a 10/10 because:
- I love that the whole album is brutal but hilarious, just like their older music
- Awesome guest vocals and brutal breakdowns, along with funny lyrics
- It's a pure British anthem
I would be so happy if Pintglass ever enter the Eurovision 2026, blasting out Pintglass By Pintglass Off The Album Pintglass, the song that breaks the 4th wall (I've done a song review for this track on this blog). Check it out on Apple Music/Spotify or grab yourself a copy from their website!
I expect the moshpit to be filled with high vis-jackets and possibly Stella FC footy shirts. They'll be touring from 24th to 30th November 2025, so go grab a ticket, ya soppy mugs!
