I thought I'd only end up with one punk album on my top 20 this year (20/20 vision)...but I think DIVE deserves a spot...

Just finished the Lydia record and it’s...fine. I’ll have to give it another listen with headphones but everything outside of the singles sounds the same. his voice is pretty grating as well
A few important releases for me today, so I'm waiting for some time with headphones, now I've started with something less expected while still at work, and ManDancing is awesome so far (just randomly chose them from the recommendations, first time hearing their music). pg.lost definitely peaks my interest, also Seahaven, IATA, Lydia. Already listened to that Phoebe Bridgers EP around midnight yesterday when it went up, as well as Refused EP, before going to bed hahh
I've got my eye on that Silverstein record. This is a pretty sweet list I wonder if my local record store will be carrying any of these.
Not too much going on for me this week Seahaven - Halo of Hurt Kali Uchis- Sin Miedo Megan Thee Stallion - Good News Phoebe Bridgers EP didn’t see it mentioned last week, maybe I missed it but the new Somerset Thrower came out last week, I dig it.
It was mentioned in the last post last week I'm sure, I still got it by chance and now I do recommend checking that album out as well. Seahaven is coming up next on my headphones!
They technically released earlier this week, but I've really been enjoying the new EPs (mini-albums?) from Bilmuri and Dirty Loops. Also, totally unrelated, but Usher's Here I Stand still slaps.
I saw Julianna Theory live in NYC opening for Cory Wells and TSC and while the other artists were phenomenal, the performance by Julianna Theory was probably the worst live show set I've ever experienced and I say this with no hate in my heart for the band. I rip out old Julianna Theory records every year when the weather starts to get colder in fall.
The new Lydia is a good soundtrack for a night time drive in the fall/summer. I don't know that it will be much more than that for me. Some decent tracks but this is the first album of theirs that I haven't been in love with. Feels more like a mixtape rather than a cohesive album.
I didn't love it at first but it's grown on me over the weekend. We'll see how often I return to it though. I will say I'm enjoying it a lot more than Liquor
I actually really enjoy Liquor. Based on most of the posts I've seen I may be one of very few who feel that way. Call me crazy but I think it's the best record they have put out since Illuminate. I know the songs are a bit repetitive but I enjoy the beats and the poppiness
I agree with everything you said. I think his voice, the music, and just the vibe of the record are all awesome. Personally, I just can't get past the lyrics. Did you like Run Wild? My fiancée and I listen to that vinyl pretty regularly in the winter months and she's really enjoying the new record as well.
I do like Run Wild although it is probably the record I've listened to the least. The Sounds in your Dream is my favorite from that album. I am currently thoroughly enjoying the This December reimagine!
