The Wonder Years are my favorite band and I don't foresee that changing any time soon, but man is this project nearly as dear to me at this point. "Lyrical soulmate" sounds funny/corny as all hell, but I don't know what I'd use to describe the idea that everything he writes, regardless of project, just *clicks* with me instantly in a way no other writer has ever been able to do.

I am just floored by the detail and effort in this whole project. When he introduced spitting in the wind during the livestream I lost my shit because when I saw them in SF at the beginning of 2023 he mentioned they were heading to LA the following night to play a label showcase. At the time I was sort of confused and amused and had no idea he was building the next record’s story in real time

I gotta say reading this really increased my appreciation for that moment and the whole record in general. pretty wild that he's out here staging moments in the story live onstage just to reference them in lyrics years later, dude is fucking committed Spitting in the Wind: Dan Campbell Talks Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties’ Third Act, ‘In Lieu of Flowers’ - Atwood Magazine

Goddamn that last verse is the epitome of this whole project. It's tragic and hopeful in the best way possible. Perfect ending to a beautiful album, and if this is where we end Aaron's story, it's the proper amount of closure.

AW20 is easily cementing itself as one of my favorite projects of all time. Do I like them more than the Wonder Years? I don't know, but its close. This record is fucking great.

Really impressed how many people traveled crazy distances for this show. Just standing next to me in the crowd were fans from the UK and Texas. Being at the show was a magical experience. Can’t wait to dive into the album now.

En route to the release show. I am expecting it to be very special. Especially excited to hear In Lieu of Flowers. It is a perfect live song and I can’t wait to hear the crowd joining in on the gang vocals.
