Apt. 13 is Gob's sixth and most recent studio album, and was released on August 26, 2014. On May 27, 2014, the song "Cold" was available to stream along with information on the album and was also released as the lead single from the album. "Radio Hell" was released as the album's second single.[1][2] This is the first Gob album to not feature any lead vocals from guitarist Theo Goutzinakis, as well as their first with new bassist Steven Fairweather.[3]

Reception

Reception for the album has been mixed. In a negative review, New Noise Magazine's Tony Shrum wrote, "[I]t seems that the band tried to become more grown-up and left the fun behind."[4] Exclaim! was more positive in its recap: "The return to form for the album's closing trio does a good job at summing up its dark yet catchy sound. Apt. 13 is definitely worth a visit — or even a prolonged stay."[5]
