Same. Serious AOTY contender for me

 

I really wish that Jimmy's voice had more punch like it did on CBGP. From a production standpoint I mean.

 

Yeah, I enjoyed this record but the mix is a little rough in a way that diminished my ability to get into the album. You can tell that Jimmy's still got it though.

 

I had that poster back in the day lol

 

Lol the movie came out like 2 months I got really into CBGP, I was freaking out in the theater

 

Just threw on CBGP to make sure it's still one of my all-time favorites. Yep. Still amazing.

 

literally same

 

One of my favorite memories of these guys is seeing them on the GK tour (2011/2012ish), they took double the time of the other bands to get their sound right, killed the crowd with all the waiting, but right when the opening notes of Pawner hit the place went absolutely nuts. Awesome show

 

CBGP is still the album I point to as the sum being greater than the parts. To be sure, the individual songs are awesome, but from to back it’s just unrelenting.

 

I don't hear what y'all are hearing with this Shy Tooth album, sounds like a less interesting Death Chorus which was already their least interesting album

Wish I dug it, I'm pining

 

I will always defend Death Chorus, I love that album to pieces, but I'll admit that even the Shy Tooth stuff I enjoy hasn't really scratched the PBC itch.

 

I can't listen to Death Chorus to this day but like Shy Tooth lol

 

Death Chorus is a good record

 

Death Chorus is a bad record with bad vocals

 

To me the songwriting is their most focused on Death Chorus and his vocals sound absolutely fine without all the grit, it just takes some getting used to.

 

For me, Death Chorus is an okay record. It's competent and well written, but they lost step without Jimmy's gritty vocals that made them unique.

 

Naw bad take

 

it’s dece

 

Yeah this

It wasn't just clean vocals that killed it either, he's done great clean vocals before, it was how nasally they got. I get that he had to do it to save his voice, but its like hearing a different band from the one that wrote Sometimes Things Just Disappear. It wasn't just his voice that lost the edge, heavy guitars were absent, the writing was very pop-punk - it just was not the right fit for this band

 

One of my friends suggested that the producer wasn't the best fit for them

 

Who produced it

 

I think will yip

 

CBGP
Dissapear
Redder
Chasing
Death Chorus

I don't mind Death Chorus but it's 100% their weakest and has what I would consider their only bad songs

 

I love the songwriting on DC, I also don't really have problems with vocals for like 80% of the record. I find all of their records to be pretty hard to rank due to how good they all are/the consistency.

 

Yeah I can't really rank their records but Sometimes Things Just Disappear is very special to me. "Eat Dinner...," "Burned Out in a Jar," "Convinced I'm Wrong," hoo boy
