555 has surprisingly become my favorite Surviving cut over the past 6 (jeez) years. I'd gladly welcome more stuff like it at this point.
555 is easily my least favorite on Surviving. For several albums now, they always seem to have one or two songs per album that is just a swing and a miss for me and that’s the one on Surviving
What's even odder to me is they seemingly love to play the weakest track from Integrity Blues live (Get Right).
Was about to post this video. When asked about an estimated timeframe for new music: "*chuckles* maybe the end of the year, maybe next year... unsure, at this moment" Well... hopes dashed Or... time to get delulu and theorize they've recently finished recording and if so, a release in the Fall is still possible.
I prefer the acoustic Get Right that Jim played on his solo tour. (Same with Integrity Blues.) All the Way is fine. But I don’t think you need both All the Way and Something Loud in the same set. (I feel like they have sort of the same vibe and SL is just better.) But Integrity Blues still rules and I’ve probably listened to it the most of any of their albums in the past year.
Get Right is fantastic. 555 is very good but I feel like it’s a momentum killer when I’ve seen them play it live.
tbf kind of any song post chase is a vibe killer cause most everyone is there for the old stuff edit: not me personally, that’s just the impression i’ve gotten in the past 8 or so shows i’ve been to
