The "Bluest Things" through "Thanks for the Ride" run has always been one of my least favorite of the band's catalog, I know that's probably a fairly unpopular opinion. "Hemingway" is always one of the lower points in their live set for me, too. Equally unpopular, but I feel about "Patsy Cline" the way I see a lot of people talking about "Bluest Things." I always loved that song, and this version has me loving it even more. All of this, of course, is said with the caveat that I love all these songs and this critique, if it even counts as one, is insanely mild and I still happily listen to that run of songs and enjoy them thoroughly.

Hey. Guys. Just want to say for everyone who loves City of Angels (I am so fucking pumped on the reception for this song) that something so so so so rad is going to happen with it. I don’t know when exactly, but holy shit. We are in an alternate timeline. It’s just the only explanation

The chorus vocal on "Brothers &" gives me chills now.

Went to pull this up on my watch for my walk and couldn't read the full title noting that it was the 10th anniversary edition, so I figured I'd just hit play and find out the hard way. I knew I'd chosen right just by the opening static, haha. This thing feels brand new.

Pressing looks greaaaaat. I'm a sucker for a good vinyl smash matches album art situation. They do a great job with these sets, too, so, I'm not too fussed about the price.

Excited to spend too much money tomorrow. Also realizing that, once this tour happens, I'll have heard every single song off of all of their proper albums live except for "The Paris of Nowhere." I guess you could also exclude "The Ghosts of Right Now" if not counting the acoustic/B&D version.

About halfway through my first listen now and enjoying this immensely. I just have to say how incredible it is to have new records, in 2025, in a one month span from Yellowcard, The Starting Line, and Motion City Soundtrack, and to have all three meet or exceed expectations.
