I agree with this. It's a catchy song and it's good (I don't think he's capable of making a bad song), but it's fairly generic and doesn't have the usual "I need to put this on repeat" quality his music has for me.

 

well duh

 

verses sound like "do better" by say anything

chorus hits in the right places

 

Yeah, this song easily would fit in the last album, his new success seems to be bringing out the need to nitpick and complain

 

That's par for the course though.

 

Addicted to "Fire Escape". I like it more than just about anything on the AMitW S/T.

swinging from the fire escape

 

song is fuckin FIRE

get it?

 

Have you guys ever even heard a Lumineers song?

 

Don't quite understand the condescension here, but yes I've heard many and this new wont sounds like one a bit. It also kind of sounds like that one SA song people mentioned above. It's still a really good song.

 

Although Lumineers-core is a bit much

 

I was being sarcastic, but I definitely don't hear Lumineers at all. Where is the comparison? The backing vocals? Sounding like the Lumineers implies a folk-pop sound, which this song...doesn't have.

 

I just think the melodies and the verses have a bit of a Lumineers sound to it but that doesn't make it a Lumineers song or anything. It's still very much an Andy song

 

I hear some combo of "Synesthesia," "All Our Lives," and "Cecilia."

 

Ha.. it sounds more American Authors than it does Lumineers. Ridiculous comparison IMO.. I don't hear it at all

 

Loving the new track quite a lot, and I'm a complete sucker for a soaring, melodic, hook-laden chorus which "Fire Escape" features. Don't really understand the comparisons though, sounds like an Andrew track and that's fine with me.

 

Kinda boring.

 

Fire Escape is kind of boring? Are you listening to the same song as the rest of us? ha

 

He's been putting out the same song for I don't know how long. I love the man but i'm getting bored.

 

I refuse to believe you actually listened to the last record if that's how you feel..

 

Ever since Synesthesia he's been treading Alt Nation water and it just seems so formulaic. To me Fire Escape just sounds like a self-titled b-side.

 

Loved the last record. New song doesn't do anything for me at all.

 

same thing, haha

 

I still think Bruised is the catchiest song he's ever written.

 

and now I see that you really don't have any idea what the lumineers sound like lol

 

they're both incredibly generic alt pop, all that music tends to blend together anyways
