I think it has a weird flow and the last few songs do absolutely nothing for me. Some songs really hit good, but as an album, I always found it messy.

 

And they fucked up hard by cutting Pavlove, rearrange the tracklist and throw that in, shuffle some things around and you got a stew going. Disloyal Order into I Don't Care is an insanely good opening pair. I know the latter's a little maligned these days but Andy's opening fill is exquisite.

 

Yea, it starts off pretty strong. I know people seem to be over I Don’t Care being in their sets, but it’s a banger.

 

i would say that west coast smoker is the only total dud for me

sequencing-wise, it doesn't feel to me that they were massively intentional about that sort of thing until save rock and roll (bar the opening tracks). obvs just perception but i certainly don't feel that most of their albums have a particular flow

 

dunno how to articulate my thoughts on pavlove. i guess i would have to hear a version that feels finished to decide whether it should be on the album or not lol

 

It’s my favorite FOB album and has been since it came out.

I remember being mad because it was supposed to come out Election Day 2008 and they pushed it to late December, which definitely didn’t help its chances.

I also still remember the Welcome to the New Administration mixtape, which if I recall correctly, gave us our first (or second?) taste of Pretty. Odd. and was the origin of Nearly Witches.

@Jason Tate What are your FAD memories?
