Joyce Manor - 40 Oz. to Fresno (June 10, 2022) • Page 33

the only conceivably criticism of NHA I can think of it that it's mastered needlessly hot, to the extent I'm sometimes tempted to quiet down my mp3s a touch

 

love it

 

Oct/Nov would be nice then, hopefully they don't hold it til Q1 2026?

 

That roll out would feel so long if it was Q1 to get 17 minutes of music haha

 

Song is dope!

I haven’t really listened to this record too much but that will change tonight. I remember it being my least favourite

 

Into this. Would happily listen to a full album of jangly JM influenced by 80’s British indie rock.

 

gonna start posting this in every thread when an album ranking breaks out lol

 

I’ve already listened to this song like ten times today.

 

This band has never missed

I think my hottest take though is out of all their albums I go back to self titled the least

 

Sounds pretty hateful to me.

(I just wanted to make a shitty pun with libel, let me have this)

 

In the nicest way possible, I can't rank their albums because they're all basically the same thing

 

a few pages ago i said that i never got into more than one song because it all sounded the same to me. i don't like this new one either.

 

It's okay. You're both allowed to be wrong.

 

I can’t imagine thinking S/T and MDTKM are “the same thing” at all, personally, but different strokes and all that

 

It’s hard to rate Joyce Manors discography cause If you put all the albums together it’s basically the length of one LP

 

Yeah, for the most part I honestly don’t think their albums sound that alike. I feel like 40 Oz (which I love) is the only one that doesn’t really sound fresh.

 

40oz on top

 

The new song and video are so good.

 

I would put money on it not releasing before March next year, hence the single release to tide us over. No way they drop it in October now with only a month and a half rollout.

Song is cool, I don’t think they could write a bad one tbh

 

Yeah they have a UK/EU tour booked in for late Oct but I have a feeling you may be right. Big US tour in the new year to coincide with this makes most sense!

 

Picking up Gaslight Anthem vibes off this today, along with the already-mentioned Smiths-ness. Keen for whatever comes next.

 

I think I respect 40oz for Freedom the most cause they pressed the entire album on one side for the vinyl!

 

I listened to this and MDTKM a lot today while working, and I think this definitely is more my jam now. This album really clicked with me. While MDTKM is by no means bad, it definitely has a couple tracks I don't care so much about (Up the Punx and Gone Tomorrow)

Glad I spent time revisiting these two records. This one in particular has impressed me quite a bit after me being sort of lukewarm on it when it dropped

 

Is it weird that this might be my favorite song they've ever released
