his vocals are pretty rough on that song ngl, but I think its fine

 

Way back on the first page of this thread, I said Death Chorus was my favorite PBC album, and I think that's still true. The other albums have higher highs, but they also all have a few songs I really don't care for.

My take on "Siouxsie Jean" is that it's a fine song, but it suffers because it's the moment on that record when Jimmy's vocal issues are most apparent, and it feels like less effective version of "Drifting Thing," which is a top tier PBC song in every way.

 

Interesting what would you say is a low point for CBGP? I see it as solid from first to last song.

 

I've never really been into "Killin' It," "Kneel On Nails," "Life Between the Lines," or "Religion On the Radio."

 

Do you also prefer Jimmy's clean vs. rough/harsh vocals?

 

Never thought I would hear someone say they don't like Religion On the Radio

 

Definitely. It took me a long time to come around on Sometimes for that reason as well.

 

I wholeheartedly believe that Burned Out In a Jar is solely responsible for getting me into that record because of the balance between hard/soft vocals

 

Yep, that one and “Convinced I’m Wrong” (which is still my second favorite PBC song after “Light of Local Eyes”).

 

"Burned Out in a Jar" GOAT

 

Completely forgot about the CBGP bonus track on the vinyl until I just played it. What an album.

 

Wow forgot about it also! Banger!

 

My favorite non-album/EP track is probably Dead Man. It's also one of my favorite PCB tracks in general.

 

WATCH IT BREAK LIKE KNIVES IN THE PAVEMENT

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


that song rips

i also unabashedly do not care for Death Chorus

their high point as a band was tracks 1-4 of Chasing Hamburg

 

Intro to Life Between the Lines is low key a top 5 PBC moment

 

wavelengths, by shy tooth

 

This is nice but... why are his vocals so muffled? Feel like it would have been better if they were clearer.

I relistened to CBGP yesterday, and wow do I want this band back. These side projects are nice but never stick with me.

 

Thanks for the recent activity in this thread. Got me re-visiting Sometimes Things Just Disappear and remembering how great it is.

 

New shy tooth record out today

 

Album rules

 

Wasn't expecting to enjoy Shy Tooth as much as I do. Jimmy sounds great.

 

Agreed

 

Say Now is the acoustic track that I didn't deserve today

 

Album whips ass and did not expect to love this as much as I do.
