That was my takeaway from the NYC opening tour date. Postcard really did sound perfect. Better than any other time I've heard them play it live.
How is this album charting ? Also the new drummer is everything this band ever needed. I think this is definitely album of the year ?
Honestly, would rather For a Walk been left off the album entirely and the three Slow Heart songs make it onto the album somewhere. For a Walk is a fine song overall, but sticks out negatively pretty much entirely because of the lyrics
when I saw them tour for LWM, they played For a Walk and there was a crazy mosh pit for it and honestly one of my favorite live moments I have. Love that song, didn’t expect them to ever play it live, and definitely didn’t expect a crowd reaction to it.
That midi part in For A Walk fuckin slaps. I’m not sure the song is as interesting as it feels like it’s trying to be but it has grown on me over the last 8 years
Definitely think this is their best album, it takes all the best parts of their previous records and blends them together. However, I think the Two Quick to Forgive single is the best thing they’ve released in totality and Savior Mode is the best song they’ve ever written
I feel like Slowheart is probably their peak for me but this album comes close to that quality a few times here
