As Tall As Lions Band • Page 2

"Acrobat" is their best song, and one of the best songs from any scene or scene-adjacent bands.

 

I think the into the flood EP is my fav. Only one I don't like is lafcadio.

 

S/t is phenomenal. Any recs for similar albums?

 

I like YCTIWY a lot more

 

S/T is a treasure. Pinnacle of their sound and a true classic album. YCTIWY felt more like a really strong experimental album to me. Check out the band Sunfold. All their releases are really great and share some traits with ATAL, at least imo

 

I miss this band so much but it is pretty clear Dan has no intention of being in a band again.

 

that Kilimanjaro band that had members from ATAL was fucking cool years ago

 

I enjoyed theblackandthewhite too but it is still missing the magic of ATAL.

 

I want to like the black and white but never go back to it.

I'd love ATAL to come back but I don't think that will ever happen

 

S/T is a perfect album.

 

It totally is. I wish it were longer.

 

But it's perfect...

 

I was just re-listening to S/T yesterday. Holy hell what an album.

 

I'm FINALLY checking out the other albums besides S/T and honestly... I already love You Can't Take It With You even more. I adore S/T for the specific sound it goes for, but in my mind it does stay in that sonic lane pretty consistently and a few tracks sound pretty similar to each other. YCTIWY has a ton more sonic diversity and is absolutely blowing me away.

 

I agree that YCTIWY is more diverse sonically but I think they hit their songwriting stride with S/T. The lyrics and the melodies... just the right amount of ambience and experimentation. In my mind, a perfect album.

 

Both albums are top-notch, I can see the argument made for either honestly. Gonna dig into Lafcadio later.

 

Only album I don't like at all. Other two are masterpieces in my opinion

 

Lafcadio is amazing

 

Lafcadio is wonderful. The seed that grew into a fucking flower on the s/t.

 

I keep playing Where Do I Stand, then it rolls into Maybe I'm Just Tired, plus the silence, plus the hidden track. My favorite 10 minutes of music right now.

 

The self-titled album is really connecting with me this morning. I thought for a long time that You Can’t Take It With You was my favorite by this band, but the self-titled really is so mesmerizing. Feels like a dream in the best possible way.

 

I miss them.

 

Same. So many bands are doing reunion tours/albums. I need dem :(

 

I could never really connect with You Can't Take It with You like I did their first two (which stand as two of my favorite albums from the 2000s). I've always wished I could hear in it what its fans do.
