    I went to their show tonight. Damn, they are good live. I wonder how many calories the drummer burned. He went hard on every single song.

    I also realized that they have big ‘last song of the album’ energy. Every one of their songs sounds like it could be the last song in an album. Something about the chord progressions they use are so climactic and triumphant.

    Every song on Infinite Granite has that energy because they follow the same verse/chorus structures before some big, climactic finish. It’s actually kind of funny to me

    They ended up only switching out 2 songs from the set lol. Not complaining tho. Got to hear Canary Yellow

    Seeing them on Saturday and I’m hoping the setlist isn’t basically the same once as I saw last year besides a song, maybe two

    Also, the New Bermuda erasure has to stop

    I’m seeing them Sunday and haven’t since Infinite Granite came out, very pumped to see some of those songs.

    I’m hoping for Lament for Wasps, as well as Villain and Other Language, as they are the only three songs (aside from Neptune Raining Diamonds) that I haven’t seen them play

    Imagine having Baby Blue and Luna as songs in your catalog and not playing them literally every night. Still easily my favorite Deafheaven record.

    If I’m being honest, both OCHL and Infinite Granite have not held up as well for me over time after the initial wave of their releases. I still like both, but I don’t have much of a desire to listen to either in their entirety often anymore.

    However, I revisited NB earlier today and it still holds up so well. Just no misses. I know it’s only five songs and it’s shorter than most of their albums, but it just feels like there’s no wasted time. Nothing feels overdone on that album. Gets in and gets out. There’s some real pain and anguish on that album. I remember reading about it and it really does come across in the music. Just powerful stuff.

    NB all-timer of an album for me and it really does bum me out that Brought to the Water is the only song that really gets any run from them since OCHL came out.

    Gifts For The Earth is an absolutely insane closer. Certainly one of their best.

    I was never able to fully get into OCHL but Infinite Granite still rules.

    I definitely still like IG a ton, just not quite as much as Sunbather and definitely not as much as NB. The thing about OCHL is that the first few songs are as good as anything in their catalog but then there’s very little memorable after that on the record

    I agree with you about OCHL. It definitely takes a dip after Canary Yellow, but I do think Worthless Animal rules.

    My issue with Infinite Granite is…I really like those songs in a vacuum, but they all have this verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-climax song structure that, for me, cheapens the album as a whole. When it came out, I was still riding the high of having a new Deafheaven album in the world, especially one that went in a 180 from their previous material. Now that the shine has worn off a bit, I don’t love it like I used to. I still like every song on the album, some I still love, but it’s become an album that I tend to pick and choose songs to listen to now rather than the entire album from start to finish.

    I think at this point I much prefer IG to OCHL

    I think OCHL stands alone in their discog as this bridge between eras.

    I still love Infinite Granite and go back regularly.

    But NB has stood the rest of time the most for me, I think.

    And Sunbather still holds strong.

    Worthless Animal is one of their best songs first of all. Second of all IG is their second best album
