It's criminal that this thread is only on its 6th page. They'll blow up when they finally do a US tour next year.
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS?! I'm only on the first song and I'm already totally in love with it.
Ok, just finished listening. Truly amazing album, probably better than a good amount of stuff I put in my top 20. Lyrically, probably the record that has hit me closest to home, and that;s only after one time through. So glad I found this.
I struggled ranking this one because I had never heard of the band before and so many of my favourite artists were putting out stuff that I wanted to be at the top of my list. But if I really think about it this hit me way harder than most things this year and I still love to listen to it. Going to be a top 3 for me. Might even be #2.
This my #3 after Bon Iver and Nick Cave, but it spent the majority of the year as my #1 before those two.
Damn dude. Pinegrove will be my #1 I think. Microwave in the top 5 or 6. We are like the same person.
I wanna post so many passages from this but I think my favorite right now is: And I’m no storyteller the way you are I’m just an angry kid who got given a guitar But how dare you say that I’m too young To know that the ticket prices are going up And the trains still aren’t on time And the thugs that patrol the lines are the reason I’ll never pay my fines And prescription prices are going up And we’re not making any more money
Those I look up to, look down on me Or maybe it’s just my crippling anxiety? Because it’s been happening a lot lately I think it’s got something to do with you, but you make me pretty happy I’m just whining about the same shit as yesterday
In the less than a month that I've had this, I've already played it more than every other 2016 record except for 3 or 4. If I were to redo a 2016 list, this would be number 3 at this point.
