Hot Mulligan - The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still (August 22, 2025) • Page 18

Same haha. I was a lot better at retaining/singing along to lyrics when I was younger and still remember words to songs I haven't listened to in years. But even then, my brain doesn't really process wtf I'm singing or what the words mean. Now... I just don't retain any of it.

 

This is absolutely me.

really couldn’t tell you a thing about what any lyrics from my favorite albums mean either

 

Maybe we all have an auditory processing disorder lol

 

Oh I'm 99% sure I do. I suck at learning things through lectures and videos, too. I need to read and visualize things at my own pace and be hands-on with stuff.

 

I pretty much always try to listen to an album with lyrics the first time but yeah, I very rarely remember them that well anymore. I do tend to remember what the general idea behind each song is though and some of my favourite lines and the chorus haha.

Hot Mulligan in particular is usually hard for me to remember the actual lyrics although I do tend to like them a lot.

 

Part of it is I’m usually working, driving, cutting the grass etc while listening to music. I don’t just sit on the couch and listen so I’m less focused on lyrics and just focused the overall vibe of the songs.

 

yeah 99% of the music I listen to these days is in the car. Got some new headphones recently though so I have been using them more the past few weeks

 

I can’t remember where I read this (think it was a book) but… When we’re younger our brains have more capacity to remember lyrics as they’re associated with formative times of growth and brain development. Once you stop growing it’s a lot harder for us to remember things like lyrics.

 

That definitely makes sense. But also I don't listen to albums hundreds of times anymore like I used to, and I listen to a lot more different music. Plus I already have like a few thousand songs worth of lyrics saved in my brain, I'm running low on space.

 

The album wasn't a huge grabber, but I've let some playlists / spotify go and when it's come on out of album context amongst other random songs, I kind of like a lot of it more. Monica Lewinskibidi (I hate typing that out) is a banger I didn't catch on to the first couple of spins.

 

I don't like this quite as much as their last but I still think it's really great and easily their second best release.

 

This falls behind the last 2 as those two are all bangers and this has some filler but I still enjoy it a ton and I’m looking forward to hearing these songs live on the headlining tour.

 

I am still debating on if the tour is worth the 'shoot i missed tickets' price. It's not as egregious as some shows get, but they're double the original market value. I'll make a game time decision for myself as I listen to the album more.

 

That is a tough decision, but considering how great the support is you’d still be getting your moneys worth. Incredibly excited for every band on the bill.

 

First few songs are good on this, but the rest lost me. Still spin those few tracks pretty regularly though.

 

Back half is special. Stop sleeping

 

it is not wrong.

 

I’m probably in the minority, but this is by far my favorite album by them.

 

It’s mine too

 

Again wake up

 

Just discovered Buy A Fire Extinguisher and I totally thought it was a cover of Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls at first haha

 

So…anyone in Boston want a balcony ticket?

 

Go to the show

 

I would 100% buy that ticket since it's my birthday tomorrow as well but I can't get down there fast enough after work :(

 

Quit your job
