When we do the s/t comp, would it be fair not to include Southern Rock and Nose Over Tail ?

 

I Pessimist losing is criminal lol.

FBI feels to me more like a Ramones cover than a Trio song and I just don't care for it really at ALL ugh lol

 

I love Pessimist but it's not a top Dan song in my opinion.

 

Oh not a top Dan song for me either. And it still irks me they gave Tim a full feature after RA had Matt on TWO songs and just gave him "whoas" to sing that you'd have NO idea Skiba was even on the track if you didn't read the liner notes lol.

Although Tim sounds better on that song than he's sounded on any of his own band's stuff since Sufferer lol

 

I think that would be fine.

 

I honestly don't dig the versions of those songs on the s/t as much as I do on Goddamnit. Southern Rock is missing Dan's bass noodling in the bridge and Nose Over Tail doesn't have that octave chord progression that I like in the Goddamnit version.

 

I honestly don't even remember because it's been a while since I've listened to s/t.

 

S/T is awesome. I thought it was an actual album release for quite awhile

 

It's probably not even a big deal but for some reason I notice it when I listen to them. Other than those two though, I love that compilation. I'm really glad I got the cd when I did, because they took "Exploding Boy" off of the album on all the streaming platforms and subsequent physical releases.

 

Yeah they're definitely inferior to the album versions

 

Same. Infirmary was the first I bought, s/t was the 2nd.

 

S/t has so many classics. Goodbye Forever, Bleeder, I Lied My Face Off, My Friend Peter, ‘97...I could go on.

 

"My Friend Peter" probably has my favorite line by them to this day.

 

Also I know the verses are rough, but I love the chorus and bridge/outro of Sundials. I love how they used to do those outro jams like on that song, Cringe, Nose Over Tail, Southern Rock, etc.

 

Until Death Do Us Part
I Wanna Be A Warhol
Only Love
One Last Dance
Young Lovers
The Torture Doctor
She Lied To The FBI
Midnight Blue

I Wanna Be A Warhol vs. I'm Only Here To Disappoint was the toughest one for me.

 

Trio outro jams are the one thing in all of music I miss the most lol.

 

Just re-listened to "The Temptation Of St.Anthony". Fuck, that chorus is good.

 

The bridge was such an awesome moment for me too first time. I love that song so much

 

only love, one last dance, and young lovers are the best songs on this album

 

The Temptation Of St. Anthony
I'm Only Here To Disappoint
Only Love
One Last Dance
Young Lovers
Kiss You To Death
I Pessimist
Broken Wing

I did too. I got into them through Asian Man Records mail order comps (How I often discovered bands in the late 90's/very early 2000's) probably around the time S/T came out and I listened to that and Maybe I'll Catch Fire before I finally got Goddamnit. It's crazy how much technology changed in such a short time in regards to our knowledge of and access to music. S/T was also one of those albums I was really into when I first started learning guitar too so I learned those songs.

 

100% on board with this if we're not including the EP.

 

UntilDo Us part

I'm Only Here To Disappoint

Only Love

One Last Dance

Yeah that album is so underrated. "Off The Map" is a great song.

 

The Temptation Of St.Anthony

I Wanna Be A Warhol

Balanced On A Shelf

Pocket Knife

Young Lovers

The Torture Doctor (this was a hard one)

She Lied To The FBI (another difficult choice)

Broken Wing (no brainer, but Midnight is one of my top 3 on this album...ugh)
