Fireworks - Higher Lonely Power (January 1, 2023) Album • Page 27

Oh my god this is so fucking good.

 

Enjoying this. I think blood in the milk is my early favorite

 

The closer on repeat is causing me emotional damage but I can’t stop

 

Ready to buy some new merch, surely there's some coming

 

Yeah, probably the same for me. The cadence of the line "blood in the milk" in particular strikes me as deeply sad. It's so good.

 

This is so fucking good. What a return.

 

Yeah this whips ass. Not a bad song on here

 

Tour merch was posted here during the holidays.

Having a mini stroke at the notion that oh common life was 9 years ago

 

I turned 30 this year and my t shirt size jumped to a large for the first time ever, stop

 

Okay i love this

 

two songs in and i couldn't be happier/more devastated

 

"jerking off the sky" sounds like it belongs on silverchair's diorama, where did this come from

 

breakbeats???!!??!?! they made this album for me

 

Welcome to the club, you're in good company.

 

"woods ii" just as life-ruining as the first "woods" oh god

 

man this is unreal. i dont like disparaging other bands when i praise another, but this is the kind of album i really wish another big pop punk band would have made in 2022...

 

not gonna name names but throughout this album I keep thinking "this is sort of like what [x] is doing but way better executed" (while still sounding like fireworks)

 

Yeah and not to name any names, this album is better than what most of the scene is up to. Playing it safe and sticking to what you know is one thing. Bands like fireworks who take these risks/steps just rise to a tier above the others if it pays off.

 

I've got Weezer vibes on Funeral Plant

 

Absolutely flooring album. Such a great release from this band.

 

The closer is absurdly good, war on drugs as hell

 

this is so good :) been listening on repeat today with demitasse at the front while i do the dishes and play pokémon

 

I think Dan would totally understand if you felt like Fireworks does a better job at playing non-pop punk songs than TWY. Dude is probably their number one fan.

 

I’ve been absolutely vomiting over this for 24 hours. I can’t believe they did this!! So glad they didn’t rush it. The closer is such an absolute ripper. Woods II, Blood in the Milk, I wanna start a religion etc etc etc.

Also had to make sure that was Dave a few times! Didn’t know his voice went that low. God I’m so thrilled to have this band back. Also find it weird that OCL had such a lukewarm reaction when that record is pretty incredible, and has aged well which can’t be said for a lot of “pop punk” records
