Data Insight

The credits name everyone again. Shaun Cooper, Adam Lazzara, John Nolan and Mark O'Connell take all ten tracks, with the producer Tushar Apte added on "S'old" and Nathan Cogan Post on "Quit Trying". The personnel list goes further than the band usually does and splits the lyrics out by track, giving Lazzara tracks 2, 6 and 7 and Nolan the other seven.

152 was released through Fantasy in October 2023, seven years after Tidal Wave and the band's first album as a four-piece. It is also the last record with drummer Mark O'Connell, who left in 2024.
