Listening to Light We Made now for the first time in a while and man did Yip do a good job on this record
Light We Made is a sick record, though I think it would be even better with Afterparty and Mediocre Love switched out for Body Language and Revelation but that's just me. That run at the end with Fame - Is It So Much To Adore - Loam is so fucking good too
I thought I was the only one this happened to, this drove me crazy for like a year straight after this record dropped
Been into a lot of Post-Punk stuff recently and decided to give this album a go for the first time in a long time. Its still so good and holds up. They pulled off the direction they took with it.
I think it was everyone else > Jon. I think Jon reeeeeeally did not want the band to end. Even though he moved to La.
They were farewell shows. Of course they’re gonna be big sellouts. There’s a thousand bands in this genre who deserved more or should’ve been bigger. It’s just the nature of the game
Jon on the record multiple times (documented extensively in this thread even) as wanting it to continue and the other guys not. I still love this band HARD and TTWTWM is still a top album of the last decade for me.
