mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 108

Aaron has certainly gotten loquacious in recent years. I mean, he's always written a lot of lyrics but I could still sing along to pretty much all the songs on Brother/Sister, for instance. Not sure I'll ever be able to memorize this stuff haha. Not a bad thing at all, just an observation.

 

Honestly, I've found that with the last three albums (Ten Stories onwards). Not a bad thing - there's always a hook or something that is always present and you can sing along to but as you say, it's nothing like the Brother, Sister era where, even though there were some wordy songs, you knew the entire record back to front.

 

Did you listen to Wendy & Betsy? Haha

 

At the 11 minute mark Aaron says there are "plenty of songs in the boneyard" ...let me pick those bones!

 

This may be overall better than pale horses but I’m not sure there is a song on here better than Mexican War Streets. Wendy and Betsy sure comes close though

 

Word.

 

I understand Dormouse isn't the best song here, but man, it just WORKS for me.

 

Yes it is

 

good lord Im tired of waiting for this to be on spotify

I thought it came out today lol

 

I think it might be?

 

It's only Tuesday. I can't believe there was a possibility we wouldn't be listening to this until Friday. Would have been a long week

 

I think for sure Michael is my favorite, but every other song on here is, at any given moment, a strong contender for #2

 

Oh cool, thought it was just me. New Wine, New Skins challenges it.

 

Wendy and Betsy is INSANELY good.

 

Dormouse, Michael, and Wendy really stand out to me atm. But I truly love the album from front to back.

 

Wild comparison incoming, but the ending of Matadors reminds me of an Opeth outro, lol

 

there are already songs on this that are way too sad for me to listen to on a consistent basis. this is easily their saddest album imo

not ready for that yet.

 

all of the songs on this album >>>>>

 

is this your fav mwY record

 

yep. previously it was an eternal fight between brother sister, ten stories, and pale horses

 

album version on Winter Solstice feels extremely out of place to me and that's my only real complaint

 

The absolute intensity and rapidity of my love for this entire album has been staggering.

In a really weird way, it reminds me of how quickly my love for Integrity Blues (and for Jimmy Eat World in general) grew. I relate the two because there are moments in every song that I am more excited to hear with each consecutive spin, and those moments sometimes change and widen with each listen too.
