Rooms is their best release and the one I go back to most often. The other two are still great albums.
Wildlife and Rooms are great. Though I gravitate towards Rooms because of the length, and slightly less depressing subject matter. I really have to be in the mood for Wildlife all the way through.
somewhere came out at a super relatable time in my life so i will always have an emotional attachment to that record that i don't with many others. same with wildlife. i was so excited for that album when it came out. still remember reading along to every line the first time i heard it. still remember the first time i heard king park and almost falling out of my chair (i know the lashback that song has gotten now but i still love it). wildlife is a top 5 album of all time for me and will probably always be considered their best by me. rooms is probably my second favorite now. i'll always have a higher emotional attachment to their first two, but i really gotta be in a certain mindset to give anything from somewhere a spin anymore. thanks for the bump. i hope we see them back soon.
Wildlife was the soundtrack for a reaaaaaally tough time in my life so it takes a real Mood to get all the way through.
I will keep y'all posted. every time they play these one off home state shows I am always convinced they're going to announce a break up lmao.
i assumed they'd try out some new tunes or do something special or we'd hear some news but i've heard nothing about last night's show. especially based on some of the openers i have to imagine the new stuff is going to be weird
coming up on 6 years for wildlife. i know it's not a popular opinion around here but i can't help but feel completely sucked into the gravity of that album during this time of year. theres just something about all the ongoing rot that starts to happen during fall that sucks me into this record. it's always going to be one of my all time favorites. hope they bring us one more. to scratched out, for everything.
Tons of memories associated with Wildlife for me. Mainly of dread/sadness due to my gf moving away for school at the time. We're married now so it all turned out fine. Though yeah the lyrical content with that record, the weather, that situation, me starting to realize I didn't want to finish college etc. Looking back that record was kinda perfect for the headspace I was in.
i still feel stuck in its headspace and relating to the themes of mental instability more than i did when it came out. some songs really clickin with me now like they never did before
Listened to a bit of Wildlife today for the first time in a while. Not many albums that make me feel the way that one does. I'll be honest I don't like the way it makes me feel, but the fact that music can make me feel that way is remarkable. I can't believe it's been 6 years since it came out. I was probably going through the darkest time I ever have in my life when it came out and listening to it brings back a lot of memories I don't even remember I had until I hear it
