    doesn’t remind me of a specific song, more just tom petty in general

    Not is pummeling and the absolute standout to me, but like this is another album full of 9s and 10s
     
  3. Thanks for your takes, guys! I find the melodies to be a little too meandering on all of those songs, but yes, I agree, the lyrics are great (even if sometimes I have no idea what she's on about).

    "Rock and Sing" is probably the closest to being a song I like, I definitely get the "hug in song form." I mean, it has the melody of "Rock-a-Bye Baby" in the guitar essentially.

    goddamn she just seems like a good person. the music industry really can eat people alive, unsurprising that she and the band are actively pushing back but refreshing to see nonetheless

    Love them soooo much. Encores are stupid and Big Thief is great. I need to catch them live ASAP.

    I hope they release Spud Infinity as a recorded song someday, that song is great.

    Incredible show tonight. Second time seeing them, but I was still just blown away.

    Do y'all think they will do another tour of the states for this "era"? I would absolutely love if they came back to Chicago.

    If Big Thief ever comes to Indy they are more than invited to play my living room and crash.

    I really hope more videos pop up from that show. I’d give a lot to see them play in a living room.

    I hope everyone who was at that show knows how lucky they are goddamn

    Maybe so, maybe not.

    I've listened to every Big thief album probably 5-6x each. Outside of some objectively great songwriting and storytelling, I just don't understand what I am missing here. :(

    The two this year clicked with me within the last month, I actually just bought them on vinyl today and are two of my favorite releases this year now.

    They aren’t for everybody, and that’s fine. I get wanting to be on board with a band as much hype as Big Thief, but sometimes bands just don’t work for people.

  22. I liked this band but didn't flat out love them until UFOF. And that record still hits me harder as a whole than their others, including Two Hands

    All of their records floor me. Masterpiece hooked me when it came out, and I’ve been loving everything since.

  24. I like the first two records more now than I did pre-UFOF also, I should say

    I still like the first two, but the two this year feel like a whole other level
