im pro bleu and pro pretty years

 

pretty years is my avatar


you could say I'm a fan


their best album is lenses alien though

 

bleu cheese is shit Jimmy eat world is alright cymbals eat guitars is great

 

Jimmy Eat World are great; Cymbals Eat Guitars are kind of whatever. I've seen them live twice (opening for other bands) and both times were equally unimpressive.

I would kill for Jimmy Eat World to play in Charlotte soon though. Never gotten to see them live.

 

2 outta 3 ain't bad

 

bleu cheese is who? jimmy eat world is great cymbals eat guitars is alright

 

never listned to cymbals eat guitars. will give the new one a shot this week when it comes out.

 

It's their most accessible imo. Still retains that weird CEG style of songwriting with the textures and idiosyncratic lyrics, but a lot of the songs have massive hooks and great melodies.

I could make a case for all 4 CEG records being my favorite/the best but right now I'm really feeling this new one

 

i see what you did there

 

his puns have me dizzy just thinking about them

 

Thinking, that's all.

 

I'm not going to be caught in the middle of another pun thread.

 

I feel like the new one is pretty weird haha. Wouldn't recommend that as an entry point tbh

 

the album as a whole?

 

What do you think is weird about it? That's definitely not a word I would use.

 

Shoulda been clearer, I was responding to @CoffeeEyes17 talking about cymbals eat guitars haha. Oops. But! Since you asked: opener is not how I expected this to start. First minute of that song is way different than anything they've done IMO. Pass the baby sounds like it would've fit in well on a different release of theirs, sorta; integrity blues is maybe their most unique sounding song yet within their
Discog.

I don't use weird as a criticism tho; this album is great and everyone in this thread is almost sure to love it. But it's definitely different and varied IMO and a little weird haha

 

Cymbals Eat Guitars is great, thank you all for your time

 

Oasis is great, thank you all for your time

 

Yeah I mean all 4 are pretty weird by conventional rock standards but the new one is the catchiest to me and a little more straightforward structurally

 

Ahhh, gotcha.

Yeah, there are definitely elements of this that are more "out there" than anything they've done in a bit. "Pass the Baby" is probably their most "experimental" song since...I don't know when, actually. But then there are a lot of moments that really bring it back to wheelhouse JEW, too, like "Through" or "You Are Free."

What's your favorite song on here?

 

perhaps you'd like to have me on your podcast to discuss

 

Yeah I'd love to talk about the handful of Oasis songs I know

 

i think i know one or two, haha.

 

I told @EngineDown id check out the rest of their stuff aside from What's The Story Morning Glory. I'll probably do that tonight.

 

The point of the pod is me discussing Oasis songs with people who have never heard the particular song of the episode before. So, for the most part, the less you know the better.

It'll be very tough for Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova however
