Arm's Length - There's A Whole World Out There (May 16th 2025) Album • Page 6

ughhhhh

 

So I have 2 vinyl listens and now 2 digital listens and um.... I'm not going to shut up about this one all year. Easily the best thing I've heard this year. Closer is so damn good.

 

I hadn't checked in a couple days, and my vinyl is still just chillin' in PA with no ETA. So that's a good sign.

 

Morning person, what an ending!

 

This record will be talked about and be up there with the classics like Futures, TGG, etc. Just those once in a decade sort of genre defining albums

 

Oh my God Fatal Flaw is perfect

 

Palinopsia

 

holy shit

 

AOTY

 

Pianos big times on track one. And I love it.

 

Genetic Lottery

sheesh

 

I'm already on like my 4th listen through haha. Just getting better everytime. Not sure if intentional or not but it seems there are some cool little Easter eggs on guitar and with some specific vocal melodies calling back to previous songs/albums :)

 

Last year's set list had a sneak preview:

 

Happy release day y'all!

 

Curious what you picked up on. There’s a specific melody in morning person that stood out to me but Allen has said none of it is intentional lol

 

The second verse of Fatal Flaw, from 2:00 to 2:05, has the same drum pattern, main guitar line and the melody sounds like a reprise of the end of the second chorus of Tough Love. It's also in the same key :) Maybe it's linked....... :p

 

Early onset…oh wow

 

Hell yes

 

There are a few parts on the album that remind me of other Arm’s Length songs and I’m not convinced it’s always intentional.

I love the album though.

 

Woah Early Onset

 

Oh fuck…The Wound

 

Let’s start by saying I love this record.

But I’m not necessarily hearing the big level up that some people are. It’s a pretty natural continuation of the last one, and that’s fine! Since we’re doing Greatest Generation comparisons, I feel pretty much the same about the step from Suburbia to that album. Just two banger albums from a band at the peak of their powers.

 

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

 

the sequencing of this is fire.

Attic > Hailey > Morning Person is special
