The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation Chicago IL Record Release
Review by Rabbiya Tauqir
The Wonder Years' album, The Greatest Generation, was a hit at their Chicago IL Record Release. The band's third studio album was released on May 14, 2013, and it received critical acclaim from both fans and critics alike. The album features ten tracks, and it is a tribute to the band's hometown of Philadelphia.
The album's lead single, "Passing Through a Screen Door," was an instant fan favorite. The song's catchy chorus and relatable lyrics made it a hit with the crowd. The band also played other tracks from the album, such as "Dismantling Summer" and "The Devil in My Bloodstream."
The Wonder Years' performance was energetic and engaging, and they had a great connection with the crowd. The band's lead singer, Dan Campbell, was particularly impressive, and he had the audience singing along to every word.

Notes
- Limited to /50.
- Gatefold jacket.
- Includes record release show exclusive slip cover, lyrics and credit insert, and digital copy download code on card.
- Some copies of this release have subtly smeared/smokey red or black coloring in the platter. This is normal for this release.
- The red first press of this album has two different colors due to manufacturing variations. When the album was first available for preorder the red option was advertised as a pressing limited to 1,200. During the preorder time frame Hopeless Records increased the pressing quantity to 3,000. Those that preordered generally received a vinyl record that was opaque red in appearance. Others that purchased the red first pressing in brick and mortar stores, pop up shops, merch tables, and even a few of the preorder customers received a vinyl record that was translucent orange in appearance. Hopeless Records has approximated the pressing quantities at 1,200 for the opaque red and 1,800 for the translucent orange. The platters used for all 50 pressings of this release are from the batch of approximately 1,800 that appear to be translucent orange in color.
- All single LP versions of this record are known to have audio quality issues, specifically unusually low volume and excess surface noise. The quality issues are caused by attempting to press approximately 49 minutes worth of music on a single LP. These audio issues led to the album being pressed on double LP variants beginning in 2015.

Lyrics:
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Around the turn of the last century,
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
That we filled with love and industry.
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
Let me be.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
It's sixteen hours straight to home
From the heart of North Missouri,
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
For the devil in my bloodstream.
Depression grabbed his throat
And choked the life out of him slowly.
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
And it'll come for me eventually.
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
So let me know.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
I know how it feels to be
At war with a world
That never loved me.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Around the turn of the last century,
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
That we filled with love and industry.
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
Let me be.
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
They played the war drum out of time
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
It's sixteen hours straight to home

The fact that everything, like I mean EVERYTHING with COVID will probably be fully done around the time this album turns ten years old has me praying for a an anniversary tour because I need that now more than ever.

My grandpa passed away today. He served in Korea, bravely battled his demons, and was a hero of mine my whole life. I never wanted this song to be applicable in a literal sense. But as I'm processing things now, listening to this track, let's just say the release is an incredible thing to experience.
