Do we know which of these we’re gonna be wrens songs?

 

I don't think we do unless I've missed it somewhere

 

"Queens" is...fine. It's missing something. If it were the advance single from the Wrens album (lol) I'd be a little underwhelmed tbh.

 

“Queens” is absolutely killer. What a great rock song.

 

Pretty sure I read that “Queens” was one of those 5 songs.

 

good song but far from mindblowing - let’s see how it works as part of an album

 

i simply cannot wait

 

Just blown away by these 2 songs really.

 

New song “Fade” also kicks ass. This record is getting slept on I feel.

 

I thought this would be getting more play.

 

kinda forgot about this on my year end—it probably should have been on there. it's a really good record but I feel like I'm still trying to understand it in some ways

 

ill check this out today! I forgot it was coming out

 

Every single has been excellent. So surprised by the muted response to this.

 

probably won’t get to this until next week but i’m pretty excited

 

It’s a cool album. Better love is my favorite

 

This is really good

 

album fucking rules

 

really does. surprised its not getting more attention.

 

i was just saying the same. people wanted a sequel to the meadowlands for so long and we get (probably) the closest to that we’re ever gonna get and it seems like no one checked it out

 

Which makes me wonder tbh

there are 5 legit bangers on this imo, way more than we get from most albums. “Leaves”, “Fade”, “Queens”, “Better Love”, and “Alpine Drive”

and everything else is really nice too.

 

everything at once!

 

It’s nice!
