After listening 20-25 times. I’m finding this album opening like a fine wine. So many sparkles.

I wonder if we'll get any more of those cool live acoustic versions like we did for the singles - Kenny played "Granted" acoustic at the holiday shows last year, so there is precedent.

Hits Different was the closest we got to 1989-cycle Taylor post 2020. Jack and Aaron made a better Max Martin song than Max Martin.

Some very cringy lines. That stood out to me most on first listen. Like, did she just say that? But honestly, it's way closer to last two albums than I expected when I heard about Max Martin producing and from someone very much burnt out on that style, ehhh ... I'm not beating the I have Taylor fatigue accusations. I wouldn't say it's bad by any means, but that's now three albums that have me thinking: were Folklore/Evermore an aberration for me? I haven't liked anything on any of these that have come anywhere close. And, from a bigger picture standpoint: the downbeat pop era we're in is not really working on me either. I just miss the energy. Everywhere. I don't know if this sound/album is a reaction to Sabrina's popularity, but I feel like I could make that argument.

Thank you very much. I probably should have asked you months ago. haha

shortcuts://run-shortcut?name={{Health Launcher}} Change the "health launcher" text to the name of the shortcut. I use that as the URL action to run Shortcuts from LCP. And I just have a group for my common ones:

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Company Apple II.

That it does. It's gotten a little buggy over the years. There was a shortcut I used to use to add shortcuts into LCP that doesn't work anymore. Could be something that I could fix myself but I'm not the best at shortcuts. @Jason Tate - have you experienced this?

Frank Lapidus liked wisdomfordebris's post in the thread Company Apple II.

Nope, the dock is just a folder with custom icons done in Shortcuts to match the color scheme. The folder has a few pages with my most used apps.

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Company Apple II.

I like the clean cut. Is that one app on the dock Launch Center Pro or something else? @Jason Tate and I are longtime users and I'm think I can speak on behalf of both of us by saying we will be real bummed the day the app stops working since they haven't updated it in 4 years. It's only a matter of time until some new update breaks it for good.

My Home Screen has been the same for a couple of years now. I should change it up soon but I do still like it.

Easily one of my AOTY's I think in this day and age, it's rare to have a record that feels like a band playing in the room. Feels very organic. Interested what kind of influences they channeled on this one.

underrated. Just did this and it’s pretty sweet. Will get more mileage out of the new album and actually love when they pop in. Cheers!

I put all 4 full lengths in a playlist over the weekend and hit shuffle. Such a fun way to listen to their discography. Everything sounds so different but at the same time sounds right at home.

Frank Lapidus liked WasEmoRocknowImjustold's post in the thread The Starting Line - Eternal Youth (September 26, 2025).

I'm a homer but I don't like comparing the albums. It's a near perfect discography and none of the albums are similar while also never veering away from what makes this band special. Whatever mood I wake up in could make any of them "my favorite" that particular day. There are very few bands I feel this way about.

Every time I hear Enjoyment I think it's the best track this band's ever made. Record is something special. Love when you hear a band's new album and you're more excited to hear that stuff live than the ones you've been hearing for years.

Frank Lapidus liked Fox83's post in the thread Band The Format.

I’ve been ready for the Ruess Renaissance for far too long. So hyped for this.

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread Band The Format.

Saw some videos from the show this past weekend and immediately bought tickets for the LA show. So stoked. They also weren't as expensive as I was expecting them to be off Stubhub.

Frank Lapidus replied to the thread The Starting Line - Eternal Youth (September 26, 2025).

Im so stoked that the record is out before the next run of shows. I was already stoked to see them in LA, but knowing we might get some of these new tunes worked into the setlist now??? Fuck yes!
