florentino1965 One of the best albums I've heard in recent years, short and direct songs, full of energy, without stopping the accelerator, but without losing control, full of inspiration and good ideas, seamless, magnificently interpreted and very well produced, originality in abundance for an amazing album that I recommend 100% if you really like good rock and roll-power pop. Listen Unimpressed, his recent album, another masterpiece of this creative and great musician and dies of pleasure.
Thanks, Glenn! Favorite track: Fire in the Hole!.

The Worst 02:58
THE WORST I've got insecurities But I'm gonna make them feel alright You've got certain words for me But I'm gonna make them sound alright What a waste of a pretty face Bad taste in a mental case A pathetic waste of space - alright I don't care what your future holds You're gonna make it seem alright You're bringing out the worst in me I'm gonna make it feel alright I've got insecurities You've got certain words for me Never take responsibility You're bringing out the worst in me
2.
GIMME INSANITY I don't wanna take the backseat But I don't wanna be held accountable I am a living machine that's Almost broken, if not combustible My head is not meant to handle this Stupid is the new dumb And I've had enough Gimme gimme insanity Gimme gimme insanity Gimme gimme insanity Oh yea!
3.
Wavelengths 02:43
WAVELENGTHS Hey, I've gotta get up early But that doesn't mean I won't stay up all night I can talk to you about anything For hours and hours Tell me another story Tell me all of your biggest fears I wanna hear it all You fascinate me Keep going I'm not gonna feed you any lines You have my word I'll be by your side Cause we operate on similar wavelengths And we can relate better than we think So don't hesitate cause we are a sure thing I will wait for you till you say otherwise You know how to drive me crazy You know you do it all too well No matter what you do You stay so true Don't change Never change
4.
DESPERATE WITH STANDARDS Come out tonight don't let me down Let's make a bad decision and run it into the ground Nobody else can make me feel like you Come out tonight and stop playing games Though I'm willing to participate it's not the same Nobody else can make me feel like you Day to day you pull charades And think you do it well You're calculated, far from perfect From a distance, nobody can tell Come out tonight and break all of your plans I'd break all of mine too if I had the chance Nobody else can make me feel like you Now you're back on track not under attack Looking through the gutters for what's left You gotta step back, watch it all collapse Like I know you
5.
OUTTA MY HEAD I'm bored and got nothing to lose I'm burning out the shortest fuse I'm locked in and left out With overwhelming self-doubt I'm burning out the shortest fuse I'm outta my head! I'm outta my head! I'm outta my head! I'm outta my head! Leave all my feelings on the shelf I'll leave the mess for someone else I'm locked in and left out With overwhelming self-doubt At least that's what I tell myself I'm not gonna lie I don't have any right But I'll be crying and denying Every fucking say until I die
6.
Tambourine 02:34
TAMBOURINE Stop me in my tracks Gimme some distraction Waiting for a perfect moment Waiting for direction I’ve been chasing and erasing All these things for a long time I’ve been dreaming and believing About you every night I cannot see myself With anybody else Will you waste these days with me? Stop me in my tracks Gimme some distraction Looking for a bigger purpose Waiting for an accident
7.
I don't know just where I stand Could you please draw me a diagram? So I can pick it back up and get it all right now The last winner never shines But they get what they want when they have the time So go pick it back up and get it all right now We always leave ourselves to dream So we don't have to care Cause nobody knows when they're gonna go And that just don't seem fair. I don't know what my future reads I don't care. I don't think I do what I please So I can pick it back up and get it all right now I don't mind just where I'm placed Could you just save me a seat just in case? I ever pick it back up and get it all right now.
8.
I REALLY SHOULDN'T BOTHER Can't you tell me what just lies ahead Let me get inside your mind Don't leave me hanging waiting for more Don't let me waste my time And I won't waste yours I'm gonna get my shit together one of these days And I promise that I'll stay true If you're gonna fuck me over then that's OK Cause if I'm gonna get screwed I'll be glad it was you and I I really shouldn't bother I really should know I really shouldn't bother I know I'll go and I'll blow it all again Can't you tell me what is wrong right here And I'll gladly hold up my end If we're waiting around then we're trouble bound And I just can't pretend to only be your friend Now I'm blankly staring at the wall all night Rehashed all your words a thousand times I could not make any sense It doesn't make a difference Now you're gone and I am all alone
9.
How many nights can I stay awake? How much caffeine can my body take? I can't tolerate these cold winter nights Come freeze with me under these city lights Nobody gets it quite like she does Nobody puts up with me just because I look back and I start to cringe Because of all the things that I have missed Hang around Cause I'm no good without you Stay Awhile Keep everything in place It's been some time since I've been feeling something Everything in me says it's all right She is the best thing my eyes have seen Better than anything that I could dream Once you know what's good you won't let it go No matter what because it's all you'll know Oh I know where I have been And it's weird how everything falls into place And of of the terrible chain of events will take us To where we least expect it to ...everything falls into place

Hey! My head is spinning upside down again Hey! My head is spinning and spilling out, my friend Somebody keep me down Somebody keep me sane Somebody lost control of my brain I've been misplaced in a world I don't belong I've been replaced in a life I thought was gone. I've been misplaced in a world I don't belong I've been replaced in a life I thought was gone. Hey! My head is spinning upside down again Hey! My eyes are bleeding for the end, my friend Somebody keep me down Somebody keep me sane Somebody lost control of my brain

“Prepare to add Glenn Robinson to your ever-growing list of heroes…” - REAL GONE ROCKS

"Brimming with classic pop-punk aggression and melodies that shine through and carry you from start to finish. Definitely not for the timid, the guitars come out of the blocks smokin', providing a constant sonic assault on the senses (and will have you playing air guitar in no time) to drive the fast-paced, hook-filled, proceedings." - KOOL KAT MUSIC

“Its anchored throughout by Robinson’s keen feel for melody, making the ten brief tracks on Modern Mistakes fly by in couple of a head-bopping moments" - POP THAT GOES CRUNCH
