Bad Books - III (June 14, 2019) Album • Page 11

What MO/Andy songs do you like?

 

I'm just being silly, we out here respecting opinions!

 

no, this isnt okay, im having a hard time processing the information above.

 

I’m into “I can feel a hot one,” “The grocery,” and “the moth (that’s the one with the huge overdubbed scream thing, right?).”

I swear guys, I’ve tried!

 

I am listening to “I Know How To Speak” rn and was thinking about how I think Andy Hull is likely my favorite living songwriter and then I opened this thread...


...actual true story.

 

I think I’m at this point as well

 

I know how to speak is perfect

 

Have you tried Right Away Great Captain yet?

 

Well that was quick.

 

are some of them members of Brother Bird?

 

No, Just producing

 

Reporting back, Andy Hull/ManOrc still don’t do much for me outside of stuff on this album........BUT Y’ALL, THESE KEVIN DEVINE SONGS ARE FANTASTIC.

“Wheel well” is probably song of the year, chorus of “I love you...” hits so hard, lyricism in the first verse of “Supposed to be” is masterclass.

 

Wheel Well & Supposed to Be are definitely top 10 KD songs.

 

I love every record KD does, truly.

But nothing will ever sit with me the way the first five records do.

I jumped onboard at Put Your Ghost to Rest, immediately went backwards and then hyped Brother’s Blood so god damn much.

But I do think his lyricism has improved with every record, and songs still manage to hit me. I Was Alive Back Then, for example.

 

I Was Alive Back Then is sort of the bookend to Ballgame according to Kevin Devine. Both have this great “self awareness”, for better or worse.

I started listening after Make The Clocks Move and Split the Country. Its been really interesting seeing how much his music has changed, and it’s been cool seeing the side projects, crowdfunding success, Devinyl series and so many other things. Such a nice person and he always seems so grounded in reality.

So, also fan, even if I don’t think every song is great.

 

I made me do this (in order of release):

• Wheel Well
• Supposed to Be
• It Never Stops
  
• No Sides
  
• I Used to be Someone
  
• Carnival
  
• Brother's Blood
• The Burning City Smoking
• Ballgame
  
• Noose Dressed Like a Necklace

 

Pretty excited for a Brother Bird LP. The EP is so so good.

 

Bubblegum is so good!

 

yes!!!!!!!!

 

• Ballgame
• It Never Stops
• I Used To Be Someone
• Brother's Blood
• It's Only Your Life
• Just Stay
• A Story, A Sneak
  
• and....
  • Another Bag of Bones
    
  • Bulldozer
  • Between The Concrete and Clouds
  • Army
  • 11-17
  • Hand of God
  • All of Everything Erased
  • I Was Alive Back Then
  • Brooklyn Boy
  • Me and My Friends
  • The Longer That I'm Out Here
  • Heaven Bound and Glory Be
  • Bubblegum
  • and I could keep going but I'll spare people

 

damn now i wanna make a fav kd playlist

 

It’s be crazy how big his catalogue already is. Love them all but mostly seem to come back to Make the Clocks Move, Brothers Blood, and Instigator.

 

They are teasing something, not sure what though.

 

I have my money on a Making Of mini-doc.

Maybe a live feature of some sort.
