Though much of the music is fast and energetic, the album also contains slower-paced songs and ballads, exhibiting greater musical dynamism than previous intensively upbeat Andrew W.K. albums.[1]The album also contains three spoken-word tracks, in which Andrew W.K. extolls his personal philosophies toward self-confidence, seeing the good side to the bad moments in life, and thinking positively. Lyrically, the songs on the album generally adhere to these same themes.[6] Reception{{Album ratings| MC = 77/100[4] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[5] | rev2 = The A.V.

Club described the album as "a pack of his best songs", commenting, "As always, Andrew W.K. builds anthems brick by brick, reinforcing huge choruses with multi-tracked vocals and earworm piano lines, all the better to make you feel like a participant as much as a listener."[6] Nick Reilly of NME wrote, "In reality, he might just be the all essential boost of positivity and endurance that we didn't know we needed. The lure of the party, it seems, is stronger than ever."[8] NPR's Jason Heller said that "the sprawling, 16-song album is a cornucopia of spirit-lifting, even occasionally reflective party jams every inch as valiant as its cover."[13] Some critics wrote that the album contains too much unnecessary material, with Luke Pearson writing for Exclaim! that the album suffers from "plodding, overlong tracks".[7] Track listing{{Track listing|title1 = The Power of Partying |length1 = 1:36 |title2 = Music Is Worth Living For |length2 = 4:22 |title3 = Ever Again |length3 = 3:18 |title4 = I Don’t Know Anything |length4 = 2:54 |title5 = The Feeling of Being Alive |note5 = spoken word |length5 = 0:47 |title6 = Party Mindset |length6 = 4:11 |title7 = The Party Never Dies |length7 = 3:00 |title8 = Give Up on You |length8 = 3:16 |title9 = Keep on Going |length9 = 4:06 |title10 = In Your Darkest Moments |note10 = spoken word |length10 = 1:05 |title11 = The Devil's on Your Side |length11 = 5:22 |title12 = Break the Curse |length12 = 6:22 |title13 = Total Freedom |length13 = 3:56 |title14 = Beyond Oblivion |length14 = 4:06 |title15 = Confusion and Clarity |note15 = spoken word |length15 = 1:01 |title16 = You're Not Alone |length16 = 3:04 |total_length = 52:32 }}Japanese bonus track
