    This record has really settled in as another AOTY contender. I don't know if it's as much to my liking sonically as The Weakness was, but lyrically it is pummeling me in such a profoundly hopeful way. Also, listening to his discography front to back is wild. Feels like the end of each album goes perfectly into the start of the next one from a storytelling standpoint.

    I guess I'll be the one to say that I would be shocked if Stephen never makes new music with Anberlin again. Y'all just can't see beyond these dark ages.

    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

  6. Lucas27 liked iCarly Rae Jepsen's post in the thread The Long Walk (Francis Lawrence, 2025).

    do you think the whole walk is livestreamed unedited, because the sickos who watch The Long Walk wouldn't want their children seeing swearing and scatological stuff they're supposed to be watching good old fashioned violence really smart to have the same director as The Hunger Games because both are war parables where everyone is punished for the "sins" of their ancestors, also I would not do well in the dystopia where any art that is potentially subversive and having IBS are illegal

    This is an amazing review, and I resonate so deeply. I'm at a stage in my life where it feels like I haven't amounted to much. I had so many hopes, not just for myself, but for others around me. Lots of those were dashed. Listening to this feels like a reset. Not to sound overly sentimental, but I tend to focus more on what I've accomplished than what I've been given. Something about this music reminds me more of where I've been and it just makes me so grateful. In the good old days, I felt more present and wasn't so worried about who I was or who I was becoming and this takes me right back there. Truly one of the most comforting feelings. Current events be damned, I need to be more grateful.

    Ha! Literally almost just commented, "All killer, no filler." That was my very first thought after listening.

    This is the music that makes me feel the most alive and the most happy. Can't believe how perfect this record is after just one listen. Almost every song would be a highlight on a different record.

    Wow. That was beautiful - got me all emotional. Thanks Jason. I’ve been here a looong time reading your reviews but never commenting. However your love for Yellowcard helped me feel like I wasn’t the only kid who cared - a lot. Yellowcard was a core identity for me - I preached their gospel long after Ocean Avenue - and now as a father with a mortgage, PTA responsibilities and busted ankles - I still turn to the music that guided my high school and college years and look back in fondness. But Better Days is exactly what I need NOW.

    Well, here it is: On moving forward when you worry your best is behind you. On late-career albums and how we relate to music as we age. And more than anything just a giant round of flowers for Yellowcard and our music scene. Once mocked, now undeniable. Review: Yellowcard – Better Days

    These comments are wild. More positive energy than I’ve ever seen around a release for us. Especially here where it can be a pretty tough crowd haha. Thank you guys. How the hell are we going to choose which songs to play live next year?!

  14. Lucas27 replied to the thread TV Show Survivor (CBS).

    Snake was like, "Dude, you're really on Survivor instead of watching your first kid be born?" *CHOMP* Honestly though, I liked him, but it's a crazy enough situation they'll probably ask him back, which would be best-case scenario. Let him play again when he's not missing the most important life event ever.

    Never listened to Jay Som. Heard the song with Hayley today and loved it. Listened to one minute of another and thought, nah, this is terrific and I'm gonna wanna wait and listen to the whole record in full tonight. Suddenly very excited!
