Into It. Over It. - Standards Album • Page 4

Easily my favorite IIOI record. Such much diversity on here

 

While overall I think I'll always miss the shorter, visceral tracks from Twelve Towns or even Proper, this is definitely his most "put together" album and probably my favorite when considering all of his albums at a glance. "Your Lasting Image" to "Old Lace & Ivory" is probably my favorite back-to-back setup since "What Sarah Said" / "Brothers on a Hotel Bed".

 

My favorite moment on this album is in the middle of "Adult Contempt," where it sounds like they're playing with the tape speed on one of the guitar parts, and it gets really slow for a second. It's just a really neat thing that makes that song stand out.

 

I absolutely love this album. I think I listened to it for about two weeks straight.

I'm always surprised that people didn't like Intersections. There is very little of his I dislike though but it seemed more panned than I remember when it came out.

Didn't know their was another version. What did it come out on?

 

this is probably my favorite by him too. surprised how much i like this

 

It was on that Polyvinyl Singles series from a year or two ago.

 

Oh. How different does it sound?

 

The song from the 4-track series sounds super lo-fi with a click track (?) and at a little quicker pace.

 

i helped record this yesterday

 

Into It. Over It. offers more on new track 'Twenty Twenty'

B-Side

 

Wow song is great too

 

yeah i'm a little bummed this isn't on the LP here lol. loving the Proper vibes but the vocal mixing bugs me a lot, his voice sounds great without the added effects.

 

just a quick reminder that this album is sick and the drumming is not from this world

mmk, bye

 

This might be a long shot and if there is a better place to post let me know but I have two tickets I am looking to get rid of for Rough Trade in NYC on 6/12.

Let me know if you are interested

 

I don't really get why I can't fully get into these guys. I love Evan's voice, I ADORE both "Shaking of Leaves" and "Closing Argument," but the rest, I just don't really give a shit about.

 

not a fan of proper?

 

Haven't heard that one yet. Just intersections and Standards in full. Is that one considered his best?

 

Its got more of a punk feel to it than the other two. I think the tend to the more indie rock thing than Proper.

 

Proper is easily my favorite, hits the emo side more than the indie rock or folkier side

 

Proper > Standards > Intersections imo

 

Twelve Towns >

 

some days I feel Intersections is his best

 

also this

12T is an amazing album and Evan should release another all/mostly-acoustic IIOI album

 

He did it's called standards haha a lot of slow jams on it

 

Sorry I left out Twelve Towns, it's also p good.

Not as good as Proper though.
