Oso Oso - Life Till Bones (August 9, 2024) • Page 8

Basking for me, with this possibly being second in the long run. I’ll give sore thumb another shot but it did nothing for me when it came out.

 

Totally agree Sore Thumb has the most variety. Imagine thinking computer exploder, describe you, and pensacola all sound like the same song.

 

another couple listens in. thinking basking > yunahon > bones > thumb > (ep >) stories

 

Totally missed an album in between but loved Yunahon and BitG, what we saying chat?

 

sore thumb is phenomenal

gonna continue to post this once every 9 months or so

 

Probably my least favorite song they’ve ever done lol

 

what

 

All of the previous sore thumb songs mentioned, specifically "pensacola" and "describe you" but also "father tracy" seriously kick so much ass

 

can't get over this take lol it sounds like a forgive durden song, it's so good

 

Yeah when they released Pensacola awhile before the album I was like oh SHIT YEAH

 

Pensacola is a perfect song imo

 

Loving this album

 

listened to this again while on a run and it was fine. very middle-of-the-road, low-risk album

put on the new Parannoul right afterward and the sheer quality increase almost gave me whiplash - immediately started running at a faster pace

 

Kind of how I feel, it’s pleasant and there’s a couple of really good songs but a lot of it just fades into background noise for me

 

smh

 

This is not an album to sprint to, sure, more an album to enjoy on a contemplative zone 2 long run on a gorgeous sunny day.

 

A bit short to long run to, but I can appreciate that kind of thing too. Basking, Yunahon, and Sore Thumb are that for me.

Like I was saying before tho, I would love to hear him stretch out the sound of some of his more experimental tracks. Would be so dope to get a full album of stuff like Computer Exploder, Dig, Charlie, or even gb/ol h/nf and Father Tracy. I'm also glad someone called out For the Boats as a full album of "weirder" tracks because I was huge on State Lines, maybe even more than Oso.

I've been a big fan of Jade's songwriting for awhile so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with his work. This album just feels like he's coasting a bit - with the exception of a few tracks. Seesaw and Other People's Stories in particular are great.

 

The more I listen the more I like this, definitely need to give sore thumb another chance.

 

(SHOW REVIEW) Oso Oso, Pictures of Vernon, and Brackish at the Kung Fu Necktie

Show review from Monday night!

 

other people’s stories is another top ten oso oso track imho

 

I loved Basking, liked Sore Thumb, and felt pretty disappointed by this on my first couple of listens... but by the third or fourth listen something had clicked for sure. All killer no filler.

 

Yay

 

Tigers Jaw and Oso Oso at Bell's... Going to need to make up an excuse for a work trip back to Kalamazoo

 

stoke is so fuckin yunahon-coded

 

Just grabbing my ticket to join the "initially a bit indifferent, now lovin' this stonking album" crowd - feels good, well done oso oso!
