Really want to listen to this but I've only had bad quality when streaming albums on Pandora. Gonna hold off as long as I can.
It's like a cross between Collapsible Lung and Forget and Not Slow Down. I feel like it's the record CL was supposed to be. I dig it for sure, Mountaintop, Bummin, and Air For Free are standouts so far. Cat sounds like Relient K covering Peter Fuller-era Newsboys. Not necessarily a bad thing
The electronic tracks are also making me realize how much I'd love a Matt theissen solo album in the vein of Postal service/owl city. I know he's buds with Adam young, so I'm curious if there are any cowrites on this album
It's not even necessarily a return to form; it's the progression that should have happened instead of the last album, ha. It's so good!
Came out with an album last year. He's popular in his own circles, but really got a one-hit wonder (unless you count that Carly Rae jepsen song).
Both of these statements are true. "Man" is the band at its best imo. Matt and Matt have always been such great songwriters.
He released a record that tanked compared to Midsummer Station. I think he is taking a step back. He is doing a fantastic monthly score right now.
