Tracks that especially stick out are <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user3212619\/button-fumbla\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cButton Fumbla,\u201d <\/a>with a hip-hop influence and tons of word play, and the reworked version of <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user3212619\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cBathtubs,\u201d<\/a> which features layered vocals and some groovy keyboard. \u201cHold on to the Metal\u201d is great too, with a single vocal that explodes into a chorus. It\u2019s joyful noise, with creative tracks and Matt Peter\u2019s famously fearless pitchshifting that sometimes gets distorted, to particularly great effect on \u201cStemming.\u201d While some of the tracks can run a bit long (\u201cIf I Had a House\u201d clocks in at 6:290, Today We\u2019re Believers is an all around solid album. It shows off the band\u2019s unmatched creativity and talent. Each song stands strong on its own, while still sounding distinctly like Royal Canoe.
