All The Wasted Years deliver a genuinely solid step up with “Minor Inconvenience,” a full-length album that sharpens everything the band has been building toward. It’s fast, melodic, tightly written, and carried by an emotional honesty that feels grounded instead of dramatic.
The sound is clean but still hits with edge. Bright skate-punk guitars push the songs forward, basslines weave with real movement, and the drums snap everything into place. The vocals tie it all together: catchy, warm, and delivered with a sincerity that gives the record its weight.
The pacing is one of the album’s strengths. It moves confidently between quick, high-energy tracks and more melodic moments without ever stalling. Every shift feels intentional. The hooks land, the choruses lift, and the band avoids falling into predictable patterns while still staying true to their style.
Lyrically, the album deals with everyday frustration, small setbacks, patience wearing thin, and trying to push through without losing your footing. It’s relatable and written in a straightforward way that works perfectly with their sound.
What really stands out is how consistent the album is. No filler, no dips, just focused songwriting from a band clearly hitting their stride. Minor Inconvenience is easily one of their strongest releases and a reminder that ATWY are quickly becoming one of the most reliable names in today’s melodic punk scene.
