What makes Rare by Hundredth notable?

'Rare' received critical acclaim for its bold sonic departure, garnering attention within the alternative rock scene. The album's lead single 'Vertigo' became particularly notable, charting well on various platforms and solidifying Hundredth's reputation for innovation within the punk genre. Released on June 16, 2017, 'Rare' marked a significant shift for Hundredth as their third album, moving away from their earlier hardcore sound toward a more melodic and atmospheric approach. This transition showcased their willingness to experiment and redefine their identity, particularly following the release of 'Free' in 2015, which was already hinting at this stylistic evolution.
