spotify started playing nha right after "this song is a mess and so am i" and it only emphasized how much "christmas card" is a better song than anything off the new one
ya i think christmas card is my all time fav. also remember barry saying in a recent interview its his fav so i win.
Never hungover means more to me than this record but to me they are equal in quality. I first got back into the whole "emo reviva thingy" back in 2014 after hearing home like no place is there, nha was the second record I found when diving back into the scene and I loved it
I genuinely think this band doesn't have bad songs or bad albums. Just wonderfully consistent in my eyes, on any given day any of their albums could be my favorite.
most definitely. not a bad album in their catalog. one of the most consistent bands in the world for me.
I thought this was one was placed kind of awkwardly at first, I don't really anymore tho. Like many parts of this record the vocal melodies get lodged in my head really easily
"eighteen" is definitely a highlight. "angel in the snow" is the song i listen to the most because of how infectious is it, but i think "last you heard of me" is just on another level from anything else on this album, and really from the rest of their career.
Christmas Card is my favorite song by them, and probably among my favorite songs ever. I've listened to it so many times, and yet I'm still not tired of it. I love the songs on Cody (Stairs, This Song is a Mess, Last You Heard of Me, and Angel in the Snow are my favorites), but none of them come close to Christmas Card for me. It was also insanely awesome live:
I wish Make Me Dumb was on the setlist. Otherwise I was very okay with what they gave us from @Cody. I would like their crowds a lot more if everyone had to take like half a valium before the show.
