The Peace and the Panic

Two members of Neck Deep lost their fathers after releasing 2015’s *Life’s Not Out to Get You*. Understandably then, this is a follow-up that asks some big questions, setting them to a soundtrack of punchy, quicksilver riffs and gripping hooks. At a fittingly careening pace, “Happy Judgement Day” wonders if the world is hurtling into oblivion, but the prevailing message here is to greet life head-on, embodied by the invigorating rush of “Motion Sickness” and “Where Do We Go When We Go.”
