Death Cab For Cutie - Asphalt Meadows (September 16, 2022) Album • Page 35

Didn't love Pepper acoustic as much as the original, but I'm sure some of the songs I'll be down with.

 

I agree. Well, though I for one will definitely enjoy the whole release, I still think the power of Asphalt Meadows lays within the new soundscapes they used for its production, it was the right move to make it more noisy - could even see them going further in that direction

 

Ben Gibbard did a remix of Snowy Owl from Stars’ latest album

Kind of surprising actually to find out that Ben Gibbard and Torq from Stars are good friends

 

hope > cope

 

I might actually agree with that take

 

to be fair Craig said "albums that are already good" so... not Cope haha

 

Cope is good, just bad mixing/production or whatever.

 

I will defend Cope (and Hope) to my dying day

 

I like all the fuzz/loud guitars on Cope. More of a feature than a bug to me.

 

I think Robert accidentally selected “apply tone to all” before exporting the album.

I kid, I kid.

 

Cope is fine. Cool record, not a great MO record. I like it better in theory than in execution

 

Yeah those songs go the frick off live

 

I did see them on that tour and it was very good

 

Cope is definitely not my favorite ManOrch album. I'm of the mind that they leveled up as songwriters in a big way on the last two, and kind of left that album in the dust in the process. But I do like what they went for on that album.

 

Wasn't the plan to always have the super loud record and the acoustic one?

 

Cope had a good sound, but I caught MO on a tour promoting the album, and they kept all the fuzz and distortion for every song in their 1.5h long set - that was sadly just too much of the same tone.

Getting back to DCFC - are we expecting any more covers or anything with further releases? I really like this Low song added here

 

What damn thread is this

 

Sorry to spam the thread but I got a chance to interview Chris Walla (twice) and we talked about Death Cab a lot and Transatlanticism specifically. He was a super generous interview, thought ya'll might be interested.

The Lightness of Chris Walla, pt. 2 (Human Pursuits 9/2/23)

 

Foxglove (acoustic) being released 2/23. I'm really curious on how this will play out. The outro was some of the best dcfc instrumentation in a while. Don't doubt they'll do something interesting.

 

They closed their main set with Foxglove last fall and it gave me goosebumps all over my entire body, that outro is absolutely unreal

 

I see this band for the first time in thirteen days and I've just seen the opening night setlist for the EU tour

no YOU'RE crying

FUCK

 

I hope they don’t play any of the new LP tracks in their stripped down versions and ruin em

 

Is $125 for one GA pit ticket worth it to see them in June?

 

I mean, they're great live, I guess it just depends on how much of a bucket list band they are for you and how much you're willing to pay. I don't think I'd pay $100+ to see anyone aside from like, Radiohead or Deftones, but that's me
