Release

On December 1, 2021, the band announced that vocalist Louis Miceli Jr. would be leaving the band. Bassist Brandon Elgar then became lead vocalist.[1] Shortly afterwards, after three years of no music, they released the new song "My Consequences" on December 6, 2021.[2] On March 11, 2022, they released the new single "Better", and announced Reaching Hypercritical, which is set to be released on July 22, 2022.[3]

The album was written during a tough time for the band, and members of the band said of the writing process of the album:

"This album really captures how the band has matured while being brutally honest with ourselves about all the tough moments that were going through our heads while making the record. Reaching Hypercritical is a true demonstration of how the past few years have changed us as people, as a band and what PALISADES' music stands for."

— Aaron Rosa, [4]

"With everything we went through, we didn't know what was going to happen or if this band would even continue for us, but we stuck together and overcame these obstacles together. The goal of Reaching Hypercritical, more than anything, is to show people that they can do that too."

— Brandon Elgar, [5]

Musical style

Tamara May of Wall of Sound said that the single "Better" is "a soaring emo anthem, through its magnificent melodies and vulnerable lyrics that flow together ever so seamlessly. New listeners of the band will immediately feel similarities to Sleeping With Sirens and Issues."[6]
