Chevelle Band • Page 9

This is excellent. Exactly what I needed.

 

it's kind of odd. jason makes money from selling less records because he owns his masters and publishing. you would think that would be something a band 25ish years old would also do

Haven’t given this band a proper listen since like, 2005, but this thread has me excited to spin their new record.

 

Update: Not really my thing, but that’s okay. I’m glad it’s getting such a warm reception from people.

And since this is a band thread, I don’t exactly have a Chevelle story, but from 2013-2015, I worked in a coffee shop where Pete would occasionally stop by. He was always pleasant towards the staff & made sure to tip well. Wish we had more customers like him.

 

I've been listening to this a ton and absolutely love it. My best friend and I were huge Chevelle fans up until Sci-Fi Crimes and then fell off. We're both fully on board with this one and can't stop talking about it.

 

IDK where I would rank Niratias, but it's up there. The production for me is a bit of a bummer. Sounds fuzzy and it doesn't "hit" as hard as I want in a hard rock record.

 

it’s probably 6th for me

 

Yeah it's down the line, but still a very solid record.

 

I'm not exactly sure where I'd rank it. In fact, I don't really know where I'd rank any of their albums except Sci Fi Crimes at #1.

 

Vena Sera is best and it ain't close

 

I think La Gargola is my fav

 

sci fi crimes

 

Not a ranking as I can't figure that one out, but just the albums I like from them and then the albums I never really got into.

Wonder
This Type
La Gargola
Niratias
Point #1
Vena Sera
------------
Hats Off
North Corridor
Sci-Fi

 

I guess I'll give this a go...

Sci Fi Crimes
This Type of Thinking...
Vena Sera
NIRATIAS
Wonder What's Next

Point #1
The North Corridor
La Gargola
Hats Off to the Bull

The second batch are records I never got into all that much. Love the top five.

 

This is exactly how I felt about it. I love their sound and think they've always had great-sounding records. Something was just "off" about this one. I love the songwriting and the music itself, but the production killed it for me. Couldn't quite put this in normal rotation for that reason.

 

This Type of Thinking
Sci-Fi Crimes

Torn between those 2 for my favorite. I played them to absolute death when both came out

Vena Sera
Wonder What's Next
Point #1

Didn't listen to the others, lol. When Hats Off came out I half-assed listened to the first half and then gave up because I wasn't terribly interested. Randomly listened to a few tracks from the newest a couple weeks ago and thought they were ok, might give them albums a spin one evening when I sit down to work on something.

But man, I get such heavy tear-inducing nostalgia when i think about This Type of Thinking, how much I played it and how much it meant to me even if I didn't (and still don't!) know what the hell Pete was singing about.

 

Hard to rank their discography because they’re so consistent. Recently I’ve been listening to This Type of Thinking a lot and there’s a ton of bangers on there. Probably my favorite atm

 

Best three album stretch is Wonder What's Next - This Type of Thinking - Vena Sera

 

Turns out Self Destructor is my most played song of the year lol

 

banger

 

Saw them tonight. They packed 15 songs into just over an hour set
