kind of a bummer to see someone's first ever post about something they are obviously passionate about get so easily dismissed but thats the internet i guess
I did feel bad posting the meme but I can’t help it when I see a post that long, it was the perfect opportunity. I’m sorry!
I’d argue that the band isnt begrudgingly “returning to form,” but rather choosing to do so willingly. If anything, albums like Coming Home were made because of external demands, and not the other way around. For the record, Coming Home is my favorite NFG album, but there’s no way they weren’t forcibly nudged by their label to make it and capitalize on the Dashboard Confessional/The Fray etc cash cow that was happening at the time. NFG is great at making fun pop punk tunes. Laugh it Off is a great pop punk tune.
Kind of a bummer people think they can just drop an essay out of nowhere to a bunch of strangers with zero context to who they or the audience is.
Sorry, I stopped reading halfway through again. I just got a really awesome DM on an unrelated matter.
I will say something that I agree with in that post is about the lyrics. It’s not so much that they are bad (not Forever bad) but they are very wordy and kinda hard to sing a long to. The lyrics themselves could stand to be arranged a little better or flow easier
I love the EP version of "Puzzles" and really like that whole EP actually. And you could pay me to scream some songs live for sure. I dunno, I hated the last album and am really excited about this one based on what we've heard so far.
Laugh It Off is ridiculously good. Trying to figure out how they wrote that album of absolute clunkers in between Makes Me Sick and these two new songs
The more I play this song the more I like it. Maybe it’s the posters in the video playing tricks on my brain but this song sounds like a perfect mix of Catalyst and NWAF. Loving the breakdown, the gang vocals and the sound of the drums. 2/2 on the new songs for me.
I noticed Laugh It Off made the alternative chart on hitsdailydouble. It's not super high, but still cool for them!
3/3 so far. Sounds like the sister album to Makes Me Sick and the one we should've got instead their last one
Didn't realize another song was coming out, so this was a nice surprise to wake up to! I will echo the 3/3 sentiment. Seems like this new album is shaping up nicely. I almost wish it was coming January in stead of February though. That's too far away.
