Bayside - There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive (April 5, 2024) • Page 3

Smart punk is live, kinda want to see the other variants first

 

Copped smartpunk since it’s only out of 300 even though I don’t love clear vinyl

 

I ended up doing the same bc I’m gonna be offline the rest of the day and didn’t want to miss out.

 

There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive LP (Clear w/ Red & Blue Splatter Vinyl)

Much better variant, imo

 

I've thought the title was this the last 4 times I've read it lol

 

had no idea this was coming or singles had been dropped, listening to the devils and im sold

 

yea that’s sick

 

Not really feeling The Devils but hey at least there’s a whole three new tracks to look forward to!

 

Was a big fan of Interrobang but aside from Good Advice, Go To Hell, and Just Like Home? These tracks aren’t doing it for me.

Going to pass on preordering. Bummer.

 

This album is 7/8 for me. The only one I don’t love is Just Like Home. It’s a fine song, but lower tier Bayside for me. The other 7 are so damn good

 

Yeah this collection of songs is really really good

 

I think Bayside may win the award for band I most often forget how much I actually love.

 

Miracle getting released at midnight

 

This roll out is crazy and makes it hard to be excited since these a lot these songs have been around quite a long time. Having only two unheard tracks left for release day is quite puzzling. Might as well have just released another EP.

 

Failing to see how that would change anything at all about the situation.

 

I just think releasing an album where 80 percent of it is released ahead of time is a bit odd and takes away from being excited about a new release. Half of these songs were released a year and a half ago. I get trying to release a bunch of singles to get on playlists but the staggered release is just not something I prefer. I know I’m probably complaining about nothing but I miss how album rollouts used to be.

 

I think the EPs were great but I would have rather waited an extra year for 10 new songs rather than this weird compilation. But I'm sure if they had another 6 bangers written they would have done that. Can't force it.

 

Regardless, I really like everything they’ve done this last cycle. Some of my favorites in quite some time and a really strong collection of songs. I’m excited to hear some of these on this tour. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since I’ve seen them live. I used to see them 2-3 times a year for the longest time, but got kind of burnt out on stale setlists. With this lapse in time it’ll be quite refreshing to hear a lot of stuff I haven’t seen live before.

 

Surprise surprise, another great song

 

I am putting my foot down and not listening to this until the album is out.

 

The rollout is not my favorite but damn every song is so good.

 

Ooh I like this one.

I still can't take The Devils seriously. It's straight up the "We Are Farmers" jingle.

 

THAT'S what it is.

 

This album will be great

 

Will be?

We've heard 92% of it already.

It IS great.
