2/2 so far. I really like the production, polished enough for Laura to shine but still garage-y enough to feel like an Against Me! Record.
There's few things I love more than this band... 2/2 on the new album and honestly they have yet to release something I don't like. I love it all.
I'll be honest. The tracks are ok but they are a solid step back from TDB. Not really what I was hoping for after what I consider one of the best albums of 2014. The tracks sound a little like "been there done that" for the band. Still holding out hope though.
I hate to judge the album before hearing it, but I do at least agree that neither of these songs make me WOW like nearly every song on TDB does.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that these songs are a 'step back' from TDB, they just don't give me a "holy shit this is insane" reaction like TDB did.
I actually disagree, both songs feel like a pretty natural progression from the rock n roll of TDB. They feel like really excellent rock songs from an excellent rock band. I will agree that nothing's quite given me the "holy fuck this is special" reaction that some songs on TDB gave me, but maybe the deeper cuts will.
The video was great and I loved this song when I heard it in Cleveland but nothing will top "Boyfriend" as my favorite of the new songs.
