Origami Angel - Feeling Not Found (September 27, 2024) • Page 9

All these comparisons make me want to check out Relient K more. I remember loving their album Mmhmm, but I need to listen to the rest.

 

Relient K is one of the best pop punk bands of all time

 

There is a lot to explore, but if you like Origami Angel I would suggest checking out mmhmm, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, and Air For Free first.

Then Forget and Not Slow Down, Bird and the Bee Sides, Nashville Tennis and Two Lefts from There, then Anatomy.... ok I might have gone too deep

 

Now we’re cooking

 

Two Lefts, MMHMM, Five Score, and Forget and Not Slow Down are worth checking out, everything else is passable or bad

 

well, no. Air For Free absolutely is not passable and is not even slightly bad.

 

AFF is passable

 

Just read the preview for this and the opener has no drums and is about Riley’s cousin (who was a musician that worked with Yip?) who passed away. This albums gonna be crazy

 

brave of you to admit your bad taste in music!

 

Origami Angel and Relient K have become two of my favorite bands over the last two years and I don’t think that was a coincidence lol. Forget and Not Slow Down is forever and always my top, but may be least representative of what they do best IMO.

Still regret missing RK on their last tour

 

I couldn’t wait. I think the opening track just changed me.

 

you'd be in a cult so fast

 

I’m Irish Catholic, I was born into one.

 

Yeah, he was a really good drummer named TJ de Blois. I know him from Zolof and and A Life Once Lost.

 

At least check out Forget and Not Slow Down. It's brilliant.

 

Throwing my hat in the Relient k recs - all the suggestions are great but don't skip The Birds and The Bee Sides/The Nashville Tennis EP! Best b-sides and outtakes collection ever.

 

Definitely some of their best songs on there.

 

While i'm not sure i hear the relient k comparison i will (reluctantly) share that collapsible lung is one of my favorites of theirs, it grew on me so much. Just listen to their whole discography.

Edit: i hear it very very very much listening to Lost Signal for the first time

 

I don’t love Collapsible Lung, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it!

 

Wretched Trajectory is the most RK I heard in one song

 

Few and Far Between has major RK vibes for me (in the best way)

 

Collapsible Lung is one of the worst albums I have ever heard in my entire life, especially as a follow up to FANSD which was their peak.


anyway, GAMI GANG

 

I haven’t listened to this record yet, but The Brightest Days was extremely Relient K sounding at times.

 

Yeah this album is fantastic

 

Listening to Few and Far Between for the first time, I got big Nerf Herder vibes. Still do every now and then.
