Let me know if there's an issue with the D side of Five Score. Mine came defective, and I'm just hoping it'll be as easy as a disc replacement as opposed to a problem with the pressing itself.

 

I'll try to give it a listen tonight. Where is the issue music wise?

 

D side is only Deathbed, and mine skips at a couple parts, pops a lot, and has a lot of surface noise from start to finish.

 

All on the D side? Hoping to have a chance to listen to mine this evening. What did SMLXL say about it?

 

All on it. They said they'd ship a new disc, but the pressings new enough where if it's an issue with the pressing itself, they wouldn't know yet. So I'm just hoping to to hear mine was a one off case, and the replacement disc will be good. haha

 

Just gave Side D a listen and didn't notice much. A few small pops throughout the song, but could very well just be a little dust floating around the turntable.

 

Cool. Hopefully I'll be good then. Thanks!

 

SMLXL already responded to my email about sending replacement gatefolds. They're good!

 

SMLXL is super nice. They did the RSD discount on all the back catalog but not Air For Free but they still gave me the discount. They also just give out vinyl on twitter too

 

I keep starting to make this top 10 list but I just can't do it. Haha

How about favorite from each album. (Including some but not all EP's)

Relient K - Softer to Me
Anatomy - Failure to Ex-Communicate
Two Lefts - Jefferson Aero Plane

Nashville Tennis EP - Curl up and Die

Come Right Out and Say It and Bite My Tongue are probably my favorite Five Score songs.

 

yeah Bite My Tongue in particular is not even a particularly RKy song but it's probably my favorite on Five Score too

 

That’s great. They seem like really nice people. Kinda bummed my order of most of the RK back catalog placed on RSD hasn’t shipped yet though.

"Seems I'm always close-minded with an open mouth/And the worst of me just seems to come right out/But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick/But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick."

Just sums up Matt T's lyrical abilities pretty well.

 

Relient K - Wake Up Call
Anatomy - The Rest Is Up To You or Sadie Hawkins Dance
Two Lefts - Forward Motion
Mmhmm - More Than Useless
Five Scores - Deathbed
Forget - I Don't Need A Soul
Collapsible Lung - Collapsible Lung

Too tired to do EP's haha.

Don't think I could do a top 10 songs..

 

Anatomy - Breakdown
Two Lefts - Overthinking
mmhmm - This Week the Trend
Five Score - Bite My Tongue
Bird - Jefferson Aeroplane (Demo)
Nashville - Curl Up and Die
Forget - Oasis/Savannah/Baby
Karaoke - Motorcycle Drive By
Collapsible - Collapsible Lung

The results of a quick pass, but still difficult. Made me remember just how many great tracks are on mmhmm, Nashville, and Forget.

 

Interesting to see that many people are lukewarm on Five Score. On AP people were all about that album. It has grown on me over the years but initially I really had a hard time getting into it. Seemed like most people loves it right away on AP.

 

The golden days of AP when people had taste.

 

I do think I need to give it more of a chance. But as a long time RK fan, it has been the one album that just never hit me hard and wasn't being spun for months after release.

I think CL got more play from me actually...

 

Audible gasp!!!
