  1. Interesting that a random, unverified reddit leak from last year almost got the artwork right

    Let’s fucking go.

    Bodies grew on me immensely, so I’m looking forward to whatever they’ve cooked up.
     
  4. I feel like I gotta re-listen to everything from Crash Love to S/T (none of them really landed for me) but Bodies was pretty damn good. Excited to hear what they've got next.

    been almost a decade since their last album that did anything for me but i love everything from black sails through burials so i hope this one bucks the trend

    “Hidden Knives” from their 2017 album is an incredible song

    Crash Love took like...12 years to grow on me.

    Crash Love is a very good record, but I understand why it didn’t land for a lot of fans upon release

    Also:

    Crash Love
    Burials
    Blood
    Bodies

    Blood might be higher if the production didn’t make the whole thing sound pretty hollow.

    If we're just considering the last 4 albums

    Burials
    Crash Love
    Blood
    Bodies

    Bodies is the only one I don't consider good, even Blood I'd consider mostly good

    id say bodies is more consistent but its peaks are lower. you could probably make one really good album out of the best material from both + the stuff from the missing man ep (they were cookin w that one ngl)

    You work on some of my favorite movies AND like my favorite band? Man, what a guy.

    @phaynes12 agree though, sing the sorrow is their masterpiece - the albums that originally made me fall in obsessive love with the band were black sails in the sunset and art of drowning. burials is my favorite post-major label run album by far though

  21. Doing a discography run through before their Chicago show next Friday, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say StS is still their best one.

    The three and all hallows ep are such an insane run. Don’t really care for anything after but willing to be wrong

    I can't recommend burials enough, minus maybe one or two tracks it's up there with sing the sorrow to me. Also the missing man EP is stellar.

    Blood album has maybe 4-5 killer tracks, but besides that is just the afi playbook.

    But honestly if you want to be proven wrong, just go see them. Still one of the greatest live bands on the planet. From 98-04 imo they were the literal greatest live band going.
     
  25. No question, even the stuff I don't really dig goes off live for the most part.
