mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 155

Don't worry y'all, Connor from Smidley said this was Mewithoutyou's penultimate tour so we've got one more after this. Nothing to cry about...

 

Damn it.

 

Maybe they’ll pull a Beatles and stop touring but still put out music ;)

 

Most consistent and boundary pushing band of the last 20 years, imo

 

Maybe he just meant this is the second to last leg of the tour...

 

The new Cult Leader album drops tonight.

 

this might be my favorite of theirs but also I have thought that about every single one of their albums at some point or another

 

Can we make a mewithoutYou/Bazan collaboration happen?

 

Yellow Spider/Yellow Bike

 

Need to gush about this record a bit...

I’ve been especially touched by Break On Through (To the Other Side) [Pt. 2] lately. Lots of biblical allusions that personally resonate with me, but the line “is every day a thousand years for anyone with ears to hear?” hits hard. It feels like a gentler callback to that first question on the record (“Anyone listening want a brain washed like mine?”) and it seems like Aaron’s asking the listener if they have such a hard time getting through life that they can feel the pain he conveys on this record. Like a quiet plea to not be alone in the madness.

I feel that struggle every day. I think often about Paul’s words in the book of Romans when he says that nature is groaning. Call it depression or grief or whatever, but that tension and struggle of every day life hits so hard for me. Even though there are so many lyrics I don’t understand, this album has really helped voice some of the cries of my own heart. Especially Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard an album that (cheesily enough) almost feels like a friend. But that’s this album for me. It hurts to listen to, but it also comforts me immensely. It’s one of those “you’re not alone” albums and reminds me that there are others out there who feel like every day is a thousand years.

Man, it’s been a week.

 

Tonight

 

I want to get a t-shirt made with just

"'Send a couple rats.'

- Julia"

on it.

 

for crossover office/why fans, i want a shirt that says

"
"only those evil live to see
their own likeness in stone"
- my brother
"
- lorde


edit: guess i don't know how to format it more clearly

 

I got that on a bumper sticker when Alopecia recently got the deluxe reprint vinyl :)

 

Also, can you explain the Lorde reference?

 

This, and Coheed are such strong late year contenders. The only song on this I thought was just a 8/10 was NW,NS. Though yesterday I floated up into the sky when that guitar came in at the end. Now the whole album is a 10/10

 

“Only bad people live to see their likeness set in stone” from Still Sane

 

Why?’s version of that line is better.

 

Why? is better than a lot of things in general.

 

She used the line without crediting the band and later mentioned it/apologized on Twitter. Yoni said no worries and they agreed to work together sometime. I think the only thing that’s been heard from that is the leaked song Sway. Last time I saw Why? they played in on the PA right after their set finished.

 

Yoni and I live in the same neighborhood

 

I like this album alot but I think its only better than AB and Crazy on the whole.

Now if it had also had the EP songs recorded for it, I bet I would feel a good bit differently.

 

I personally like this more than PH, AB, and TS. Though I’m still in the honeymoon phase.

 

I can only confidently put Brother, Sister ahead of it and [A->B] Life behind it. All the others move around freely and are 10/10 albums.

 

this album made me appreciate PH more even though I already felt highly about that album
