La Dispute - No One Was Driving The Car (September 5th, 2025) • Page 8

Hell yeah, this rules.

 

Yeah this is great

 

Can’t wait to finally check out these songs

 

Amazing on first listen, the lyrics are as amazing as ever. Some tracks really hit hard on first listen. Excited for repeat listens.

 

I listened to the first drop and nothing else, and this is extremely great. I loved every track but the standout for me was I Dreamt of a Room With All My Friends. It really scratched the rooms of the house itch.

 

Agree that this one jumped out on a first listen.

 

I started to list my initial standouts but it's at least half of the record.

 

Man with hands and ankles bound, environmental catastrophe film, and top sellers banquets are the ones

 

loving the eerie recorded spoken word throughout this.

 

Yeah I don't think there's a miss on this record

 

This one is catching me in a way they haven’t before. Such a mood throughout.

Autofiction is literally a MWY b side lol. Hitting every trope.

 

Loving this

 

Huge mwy sound at the end of the field too

 

perfect bookend that seems like a good summation of one of the overarching theme's of the record. man i can't wait to dig in more.

 

on my first listen, floored so far and only on Autofiction Detail. speaking of which, major Dismemberment Plan vibes on that first verse

edit: Top-Sellers Banquet. holy shit.

 

God this thing is great

 

Yeah they’re the kings once again

 

The fucking last minute or so of Steve. HUGE.

 

I was gonna say add Steve to my list of standouts

 

Pull down every window, penitently
We've grown weak
Heavy summer heat
Stagnant with your unmet needs
Please come back, sweetheart
Please, I need this
Please, don't leave
You said, "You're mine"
You said, "It's all fine"
Said, "It's my fault"
I believed it every time
You said-
Take the time to learn
You'd put the extra work in first
Keep promises you made
Change how you behave
And everything you said reversed
All the things you did went backwards
Planting seeds there
Never acted once they bloomed
Now they grow downward in the dirt
Entombed
How else is there to say
That last night when I slept
I dreamt about a room
Standing in the light
And everyone was there but you
And honestly?
I love you but it felt so good




these lyrics hit me so hard due to something that’s happened to me recently like jfc

 

Been listening all day….Generational album imo.

 

this album is very cool, super dense but offers a lot of really compelling sprawling roads. jordan sounds insane here

gonna be the odd one out and say that while i love this i do prefer panorama and still think its their strongest and most cohesive lp. guess i just look for different stuff in this band

 

I think this is more dynamic and memorable than Panorama but it could be recency bias. I also feel that they did a good job marketing and hyping the living shit out of this one to give it a lot of texture and presence that Panorama did not have. Definitely a band that just keeps getting better with age, each record better than the last for me.

 

Indie store pressing

 

panorama definitely had a more low key marketing approach where i think they were trying to let the music and aesthetics speak for themselves more than draw a lot of attention to them, where this was basically promoted to keep their name in the media as much as possible

also i gotta say its really nice hearing an album that took such a long time to come out that legitimately feels like it warrants the wait
