Get Better (2019)
To start, I have to say that I don't know for sure that this 7" was released on Get Better records. There's no label affiliation anywhere on the artwork, but if you look on Discogs, they list this 7" as having come with certain versions of the album SNAFU. That's not how I got mine, I ordered my copy separately from the band after falling in love with the full length.
I don't like these two songs as much as I like the ones that are on SNAFU. Those ones struck me as being a little catchier and the guitar seemed more clear and pronounced. Things are a more raw on this 7" and the guitar sounds a bit muddier to me. "I Wanna" is the song I like best of the two. It has a pulsing chorus repeating the phrase "I Wanna" in a way that reminds me of the Pixies. The song never really finds the gigantic hook that Potty Mouth taps into on so many songs from SNAFU, but "I Wanna" is still pretty solid.
I don't like "The Easy Way" quite as much. It's slower and more deliberate. While the tone of the song makes sense when you really listen to the lyrics, I tend to prefer the Potty Mouth songs that are a little crunchier and wrap you up in their huge guitar riffs. It's not a bad song, I just don't like it as much as some of the others. But, if you really want this, I'd recommend grabbing it sooner than later, their Big Cartel page says it's limited to 50 copies.
