I went with the Bleach variant and... Took a gamble and got the paint-filled variant as well. I almost never get more than one variant of a record before it's release unless it's a super cool variant and the band has a super strong track record... But I don't regret it at all. Both variants are gorgeous and the album is my #1 contender for ATOY at the moment. Real stoked about catching them this Thursday. The fact that I've also been ripping the other bands on the bill (Liquid Mike, Public Opinion, How Much Art) is gonna make it feel like a pretty special night.
Great to hear! They were awesome when I saw them at Riot Fest last year but hadn't seen them since... I've been obsessing over Public Opinion for a hot minute so I'm hoping they rip too.
I really like Throw Me Away, God Owes Me Money and Laugh At Me but the rest of the record isn't doing much for me. As a HUGE Modest Mouse fan, I guess I like Isaac's song too but I wish it was more than like a 45 second interlude.
This is probably my aoty but Laugh at Me is the one track that kind of sticks out to me, hasn’t quite clicked yet.
This album keeps growing on me. Might end up in my top ten this year. Pulled the trigger on Worcester tickets for tonight even though I hate going all the way out there, but I can’t miss them headlining for this album.
Been jamming this one this week. Super vibey album. Different than Life of the Gun, but in a very good way.
Idk why I’m just now getting to this. One listen and I really enjoy the album so far. I’ll probably go see them with Joyce Manor.
I was there! They texted an invite from a presale code number. Super cool, cozy crowd, and first Tiny Desk ever. Brooklyn show on Tuesday with Joyce Manor was incredible too. Set of the year for me so far.
