Saved doesn’t really come close to Threads, but I do like it a lot. Threads is just lightning in a bottle.
I enjoy Saved for the most part. It’s not the record I wanted after waiting 7 years but Now,Now can do whatever the hell they want and they don’t need fan approval. Also, music sensibilities change. It does have some tracks on it that I cannot get into at all like that song about Michael Jackson (why would you put out a song about MJ in modern day? lol) and “Knowme”. With that said; songs like “SGL”, “Can’t Help Myself”, “Window”, “Saved”, and “Drive” are all really great. Threads is top tier though. That record means the world to me for personal and sentimental reasons so I had to accept that I’ll never get a record from NN that hits me like that album did. I also imagine the next record being even more poppy and less moody which is the exact opposite of what I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Genuinely have never heard another album that sounds like threads. Haven’t returned to this one at all :/
