The EP is great. A couple odd songs (however, "Beaming" is lovely), but for the most part, very revealing and honest record that pre-dates FANSD yet contains lots of similar themes. The b-sides EP is "for fans only" though.
Yeah, I e-mailed them right away, but still haven't had a response. Hopefully they get back to me. It almost feels pointless to own FIve Score without Deathbed being listenable. haha
That's my favorite release by them. I just loved how experimental it was but still great. SMLXL Vinyl confirmed a couple months ago that they're pressing it on vinyl later this year!
Faking My Own Suicide is actually maybe one of the only examples of a song i basically cant listen to because of how firmly i disagree with the ideology in it. feels like it really trivializes suicide not to mention is honestly super creepy imo. but musically i love it
I despise "Faking My Own Suicide". Worst song on the album. "Deathbed" is not that good. It's fine. But it doesn't really call for repeat listens. Collapsible Lung is still pure hot garbage that I can't believe they actually put out under the Relient K name. Shameful. I don't see a point in a 3 month preorder. I'll buy it on iTunes the day of or day before. I got bored of Bumming 45 seconds in. But I'm on my phone, I shouldn't be checking out new music on this thing. I'll blame it on me. SpyKi always has unique options. Don't let it bother you, it's harmless. Haha! My favorite album is probably FANSD. Mmhmm is super close, but I think the tone and feel of FANSD just suits me more at my age. But Mmhmm will always be special. Loved seeing that 10 year tour. The Nashville EP is absolutely brilliant. Can't believe it's unheard of by some fans. They are missing out on some magical songs. That about catches me up from the last time I read this thread.
Just in time for my top 10 RK songs, haha. 1. Deathbed 2. Faking My Own Suicide 3. I Don't Need a Soul 4. Curl Up & Die 5. Forget and Not Slow Down 6. Motorcycle Drive By 7. This is the End (If You Want It) 8. When I Go Down 9. Savannah 10. Be My Escape
I hate ranking stuff. Plus they have too many to limit to 10. I can't even fully pick a top album without mentioning another haha!
Motorcycle Drive By is one of their best songs, and it's a cover, so it's weird. But damn, I love it.
I don't know if I could rank them 1-10 but if I had to pick 10 I'd have Curl Up & Die Deathbed This Is The End (If You Want It) Savannah Bite My Tongue Motorcycle Drive By Nothing Without You Life After Death and Taxes There Was No Thief Which To Bury: Us or the Hatchet? These 10 I think. At least these are 10 that came to my head right away when I think of Rk songs I love
If there's a ranking then Lord knows I'm all over it. Here's my top 10: 1. Which to Bury; Us or the Hatchet/Let It All Out (together they're unstoppable) 2. Must Have Done Something Right 3. When I Go Down 4. Deathbed 5. Savannah 6. Be My Escape 7. Part of It 8. This is the End (If You Want It) 9. Falling Out 10. Curl Up and Die Bonus: Sadie Hawkins Dance (not in their top 10 best, but it will ALWAYS be one of my favorites)
Oh snap, I don't know why I always forget about "Bite My Tongue". Probably their most underrated song ever and easily one of the strongest. That song embodies everything that makes Relient K a great band.
Off the top of my head, no order: Be My Escape My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend Who I Am Hates Who I've Been This Week the Trend The Best Thing Must Have Done Something Right Give Until There's Nothing Left I Don't Need a Soul Candlelight Don't Blink Probably an unpopular list, but meh, whatever.
Oh I guess I'm getting around to CL songs now too: Don't Blink Collapsible Lung Disaster Lost Boy Boomerang Sweeter When You Were My Baby If I Could Take You Home Can't Complain PTL Gloria
CL Don't Blink When You Were My Baby PTL If I Could Take You Home Boomerang Disaster Lost Boy Sweeter Can't Complain Gloria All time is harder. These are definitely my favorites, not necessarily their best. And honestly the whole of FANSD is so good, it's hard to pick. Savannah There was No Thief Curl Up and Die Bite My Tongue Softer to Me Overthinking Candlelight This is the End (If You Want It) Part of It Forgiven
I have no issues with ranking things. I get why it's lowest common denominator criticism, but i just like giving my opinion on how they rank against each other in my listening habits. Plus I saw and enjoyed High Fidelity a few times.
