I've seen a lot of mixed feelings about this track, because it's definitely not the heavier side of their sound. There's no rough vocals in it, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. ADTR are known to have slower, less aggresive songs on the albums which contrast really well with their sound. So Mindreader shouldn't come as a surprise. It's a great track, it's a really catchy song, I really like it. Is it my favourite out of the tracks released? No. Does it make me excited for You're Welcome? Yes. Has it left me wanting more? Yes. Do I still love ADTR for this track? Most definitely.
This track isn't slow and stripped back like If It Means A Lot To You or Have Faith In Me, I'd compare the track to the likes of Good Things, which I adore that track. It's very much still a classic ADTR track, the only difference is the lack of screaming, but as I said, this isn't something ADTR put in every track they do. It's a good track, and I'm not just saying that because ADTR are one of my favourite bands, I'm saying that because it's actually a decent track.
It's not the most creative track they've done, and it's nothing groundbreaking, boundary-pushing, but it still slaps! It's still a great song, and it's still catchy. If you're wanting this to be a track like The Document Speaks For Itself or You'll Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic, then I hate to disappoint you, but you have Resentment for that. I'd rank it as my least favourite of the three tracks, but I still love it and it is just that I prefer the other two, it's not that I don't love it, because in all honesty, A Day To Remember could release anything and I'd probably love it!
Overall I'd give it 4 out of 5 lemons. If you like ADTR and you haven't listened to it yet, then go ahead and do it! You might surprise yourself, don't judge the song off others opinions, just it for yourself.
