Bleachers - Gone Now (June 2, 2017) Album • Page 21

I love this record starts and I love how it ends. The first two tracks and the last two tracks are so strong, especially as an opener / closer.

 

Damn, thanks for the setlist. Traffic from Jersey was horrendous yesterday so I only got to catch IWGB and DTTM. Would've loved to hear "Let's Get Married" & "I Miss Those Days"

 

Ok, Let's Get Married is a jam. I'm profoundly sorry for saying otherwise.

 

The middle of this (the stretch from "Don't Take The Money" to "I Miss Those Days") is up there with the best stretches of an album I've heard this year.

 

I personally prefer the stretch from Dream of Mickey Mantle to Foreign Girls

 

I honestly rarely find reprises necessary on pop albums and this album's is no exception. Especially because "Goodbye" essentially works in that role anyway.

 

Anybody else have "Woke up/I'm in the inbetween, honey" on a loop stuck in their head since they heard this album?

 

His reprises are up there with his best stuff on both albums.

 

I don't think I've disliked a single song that Jack has been involved with since Steel Train's Trampoline.

 

Personally love all the reprises and tie-ins.

 

The reprises and call backs are amazing on this album. They are so subtle and work so well. I love the call backs TGG from TWY but these are just weaved in much tighter. My favorite is when he brings back the "I want to be Greatful" sample from the beginning of Strange Desire.

The overall theme is an appropriate follow up from Strange Desire. Everybody Lost Somebody is the strongest centerpiece to an album I've ever heard. The whole idea of that before/after a loss or major event is just such a great focal point for an album. Jack killed it with this one.

 

Shit I'm missing the 150 cap venue show in indy because I'm out of town ahhggggg

 

There isn't a song I don't really love on this thing. What an awesome surprise.

 

For me it's "I lied to you i lied to you i lied to your face in the summer your face in the summer"

 

Mine is "Good morning to the cops UH!"

 

"So come on motherfucker you survived you gotta give yourself a BREAK"

 

right now it's the repeated "rolling thunder, curse my bedroom" for me

 

Same here

 

right now it's the whole record because I literally can't stop listening to it

 

The second verse on Nothing Is U:

I left my house on Friday
Sunday, begging please
Challenged all my best friends
I've challenged them to leave

 

HEEEEEY

 

I was just joking about this line the other day

 

I was looking through a record bin yesterday and realized this album cover may have been inspiration (the dot is more red in person like the bleachers one)

 

Should have snagged that record, son!

 

I did!
