PUP - THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND (April 1st, 2022) • Page 13

Honestly thought it switched to a Mars Volta album on my iTunes.

 

Show absolutely kicked ass. Cloud Nothings and Pinkshift killed it opening also. Probably my favorite show I’ve been to since shows came “back”.

 

mighta been onto something

 

Yeah they killed tonight. One of my favorite bands to see live.

 

I was gonna go but my car needs fixed and I woke up with a sore throat

 

After a second listen


This is their best album.

 

Didn’t get too into the previous album. Immediately this one hit hard. The melodies are just so good.

 

Even better listening to this a second time with a decent set of headphones. Wow

 

yes man

 

Unsure how I feel about the four chords songs. Cutting off the corners is awesome

 

i liked four chords but parts 2 and 3 aren’t my favorite. relentless and part 2 back to back is the only stretch of this album i don’t love

 

my subsequent listens have been way better, but i am not sold on the interludes. easy enough to ignore; i just would've expected them to be a bit more..clever.

 

Maybe this record will click with me more over time but I would rank this low personally. Definitely hate the Four Chords interludes too.

Outside of Totally Fine, Waiting, Grim Reaping, and Bankruptcy - I’m not enjoying this as much as most of y’all.

 

This album is great and anyone who doesn't like Morbid Stuff should relisten to Scorpion Hill.

 

Cutting off the Corners… unreal good

 

I would love to see these songs live, too bad pup hates Nova Scotia now

 

Im surprised at some people liking their old stuff and not this. It’s not THAT much different.

 

im the other way around haha

 

Haha oh maybe I’m off then I dunno.

 

i agree

 

Wouldn't say this is as good as Morbid Stuff, but it's growing on me and could surpass TDIO.

I don't think it's THAT different to their older stuff, but I do miss the more ramshackle, off-the-rails feeling their previous releases gave me. But as always, it's got some huge songs and memorable shout-along melodies and that's what I come to PUP for really.

 

Feels like the joke running through the Four Chords series could have been better executed and more inviting, but I do think they’re cool in the context of this “puptheband inc” thing they’ve been doing with the marketing and videos.

Unrelated, no spoilers here but I’m happy as hell with the setlist.fm entry for last night.

 

Easily the most I’ve loved one of their albums after a day of listens. I think they have a pretty incredible discography at this point, but part of me did feel like there was some depth missing from the last two records. This one has so many interesting things going on, I absolutely love it.

 

Setlist.fm is missing Waiting as well, which was my favorite of the new songs played.

 

Oh hell yeah that was my only disappointment! I’ve got like six weeks to wait so I’m curious if they’ll be shaking it up.
