Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 108

Bastardizer is great, but something has to be towards the bottom. This is maybe a top 10 record of the decade for me, so every song on here has something wonderful about it.

 

Crown Candy is my least favorite

 

It’s my more preferred of the three songs I mentioned. I think it’s a good song for sure, but it just hasn’t gotten to the next level for me yet.

 

It feels nice to think that someone’s watching from aboveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

I honestly forget that Crown Candy exists sometimes until it comes on. That’s gonna sound harsher than I intend it to be, but I guess that’s what happens when the album is almost an hour long

 

every song is a masterpiece

 

Won't Drown rules

 

Lambert or the title track is my favorite but don't make choose they're all great

 

Are you gonna be in STL for the Christmas show?

 

Yes, almost exactly

 

Just watched their tiny desk for the first time in a while. Forgot how damn magical that is

 

Unlikely, im not gonna be back in town til january

 

Lich Prince is my favorite here. Has been since release day.

 

Got into this LP after seeing them open for Coheed. At first it was mainly the moody dark stuff like Slapstick and Five Cups that piqued my interest, but I have to say almost every track has grown on me a lot. If I had to pick a few weak links they'd prob be Gameshark, Heartbeats, and Dillards. But none are really skip-worthy.

Very impressive record. I still need to check out their older stuff.

 

dealer is like one tenth of one percent less great than this album so check it out

 

Yeah this album and Dealer are two of my favorite albums to come out of this decade

 

All three of the albums blow me away tbh

 

Ah that sucks. I'm supposed to be visiting a friend in Colorado that day so I'm tryna reschedule because I've never seen Foxing live before

 

I still think i prefer Dealer by 0.01%

 

Gave some of the stuff off Dealer a shot this afternoon, and have to say I far prefer NMG for now. Just got a much more generic "chill indie" vibe (with fleeting exceptions, to be fair), and that's def not my cup of tea.

NMG strikes me as more layered, atmospheric, and overall innovative. Will try to give it a full, attentive listen at least once, though.

 

Each album just kind of ruins the others for me. Each release is just leagues better than the last. These guys are going to have an amazing catalogue.

Also the evolution from Albatross to Dealer is probably one of the biggest leaps of any band. Especially the vocals. I remember looking up if they had gotten a new singer because the vocals had improved so much. Not that they were bad on Albatross.

 

Plastic Cough to Four of Arrows though

 

I don’t see the growth between albums as drastic necessarily, but it is substantial. I remember Dealer coming out and being floored by stuff like Night Channels, Eiffel, and Glass Coughs.

 

Eiffel

 

I feel like Dealer is a little more atmospheric than this. There's more stuff that's in the same realm as Five Cups on Dealer. I agree they get better every album.
