    If gold rush were a Snapchat and we all heard it once and it disappeared forever i think most of us would have really fond memories of it

    I have treated this song that way because heard it once and never put it on again and have no fond memory of it

    Well, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy

    Just finished my first listen. Thought this was pretty solid. Definitely not mind-blowing amazing but a great collection of songs for sure.

    Pep Talk and Stone Over Water were the highlights for me

    it's definitely not good enough to go to bat for or anything (yes, I do realize that is exactly what I'm doing here), but I feel like it fits fine on that album, which is an album as a whole that suffers from the strength of the rest of their discography, if that makes any sense

    I like that album just fine, but I don't think anything on it can touch "Blue Bloods” from that EP they released a little while later for example, except for maybe "60 & Punk"

  8. "Gold Rush" hate is way overblown. It's a good track, people just don't like the repeating backing vocal part.

    I don't remember any of the other songs, but I absolutely love "Blue Bloods"

    also, I know Amazon sucks and I shouldn't have anything to do with them, but I use Amazon music for streaming, but this shit has been happening more and more lately, where random songs are blocked out for no reason -->

    Besides gold rush (horrible song) I couldn’t name another song off that album.

    Me too. I only listened to the album once after it came out and then never came back around to it

    I didn't like The Blue EP much at all. Probably the only release I've heard by the band that I don't enjoy.

    Blue (Da Ba Dee) is better than anything off this album.

    flicks cigarette into long gasoline streak then walks away as the growing trail of fire reaches a car causing it to explode into a beautiful cacophony of fire, smoke, and debris. the man does not flinch or turn back towards the dangerous scene behind him, he just keeps walking, HE is the danger

    Well, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy

    The entire Blue’s Clues soundtrack is better than the Blue EP

    unlike "Gold Rush", "Blue Bloods" is absolutely good enough to go to bat for

    alright, I had to go thru and search each song individually and then add all 11 of them to a playlist in order, but this new album slaps

    People hating on the Blue Ep need to relisten. It’s top tier.
