Music and lyrics

The album opens with the track "Drone". A line from Sheila Heti's How Should a Person Be?, "He’s just another man who wants to teach me something", appears in the chorus of the song.[2] The song handles the subject of feminism.[3] The second track is "Trapped" and "Why Try" is the third. Musically, both are surf rock tracks.[2] The album's fourth track is "Cool Slut". The song's lyrics are about sex-positive attitudes.[3] "On the Floor" is the fifth track. Its lyrics about the feelings of post-college displacement.[3] The sixth track is "The Thing". Musically, it is the only hard rock track of the album.[4] "Joke" is the seventh track. Its lyrics are about wanting to start fires.[3] The eight track is "Lydia". Musically, it is a punk rock song.[1] "IDC" is the ninth track. The album closes with the title track and the lead single,[5] "Time to Go Home". The band told The Fader "'Time to go Home' is about treating boredom with substances. It's about having too much free time, feeling bored, getting a little drunk, wanting more, getting completely trashed, feeling euphoric, feeling sick, and finally having a sudden and urgent need to go home and go to bed."[6]

The album received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 78.[7] Fred Thomas of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, remarking it "Time to Go Home takes the band's unique blend of beauty and absurdity into slightly different places."[3] A mixed review came from Devon Fisher of PopMatters, who said the album "sounds more like it came out of the ‘90s than any of Sub Pop’s still-active groups that were putting out records back then." He also felt it "seems like half the album it could have been."[4] Bryn Lovitt of Spin gave the album eight out of ten stars and wrote, "Time to Go Home is a throwback to mid-’80s darkwave that gives it an intellectual edge for its resemblance to such a specific moment in classic British new wave."[11]

gollark: It was probably handled via some automated tool TJ09 has which just puts in that stuff around the issue.
gollark: More like micromanagement by someone who believes that they have the right to control fansites too.
gollark: (this is now up on the forums).
gollark: ```Unfortunately, it is unavailable, possibly forever, because (according to an email):Thank you for your request to access the Dragon Cave API from host dc.osmarks.tk. At this time, your request could not be granted, for the following reason: You have, through your own admission on the forums, done the exact thing that got EATW banned from the API.This may be a non-permanent issue; feel free to re-submit your request after correcting any issue(s) listed above.Thanks, T.J. Land presumably due to this my server and computer (yes, I should use a VPS, whatever) can no longer access DC. Whether this is sickness checking, scraping, or using EATW's approximation for optimal view count I know not, but oh well. Due to going against the unwritten rules of DC (yes, this is why I was complaining about ridiculous T&C issues) this hatchery is now nonfunctional. Service may be restored if I actually get some notification about what exactly the problem is and undoing it will not make the whole thing pointless. The text at the bottom is quite funny, though.```
gollark: I could add a T&C stating that it is the hatchery's automatic systems' prerogative to take stuff which is sick out of rotation, but none would care.
