Reception

In general, critics praised Peanut Butter as musically tighter, more self-aware, and more stylistically developed than their previous album, Weird Sister.[2][3][4] Their distinctive blend of harsh guitar riffs and "bubblegum" vocal harmonies with unexpected chords and progressions is a key feature of this album.[3] The lyrics have been praised for playfully blending "the abstract and the concrete" and for their "hyper-specificity" that pulls from personal experiences to create engaging and enigmatic songs.[2][5]
