Tilian era has been great, but a decade of ToM blossoming would've been even better. But like any great prog-ish band these days I'm sure they would've sold like 8 records and flamed out even with Tilian.
Saw them at the boardwalk in Sacramento supporting DBM 1 opening for a static lullaby...I think. It was right as shows were changing from mosh pits to hardcore dancing. So silly but good times.
Say Hi is incredible. So much more excited for this album now. I can’t believe it’s already out next week.
Who would've ever guessed Mess would become an absolute behemoth of a vocalist after Death Star and DBMII? He sounds so good on this. Love Tilian's lower register. The weird talking "uh" threw me off at first, had to rewind.
This might be the bottle of wine I polished off earlier, but that lil bit in strawberry’s wake when they harmonize “clean up the past, say I’m sorry” just fucking hits in all the right ways.
Probably gonna hold off. I’ll just wait til next week. Fully expecting this to leak this weekend or soon. I’m not a leak listener no more.
my vibe so far from this album is that the songwriting is really sharp. it seems like they may have evolved. really digging the choices they’ve made here.
Here we go lol. But I'll play along. I think lately for me it has been... Mothership > Acceptance Speech > Instant Gratification > Artifical Selection
Mothership>Instant Gratification>Artificial Selection>Acceptance Speech, but I've been gaining a newfound love for Acceptance Speech since the remaster came out.
