Relient K Band • Page 91

CL is an absolute embarrassment of an album. Beyond comprehension they released it, tbh.

 

Seriously, this song is SO good.

 

"Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new"
is one of the worst thiessen lyrics in their discography

 

You were at my favorite bar
Your hoodie's in my car
The smell of your Chanel 5 won't die hard

takes the cake for me

 

Lost Boy sounds like a very bad cover of a song that should've originally been recorded by Maroon 5

 

I have those vans, wear them all the time in summer haha

 

I actually love Lost Boy. The harmonies at the very end are nice

 

I think hoopes actually wrote this song...not sure but i remember hearing that somewhere.

 

Anyone know what songs Dave plays drums on for Air For Free? So cool that they brought him back to play. I always loved his playing style and the drum production on Anatomy through Five Score is top notch. (FANSD and AFF too, just not quite as much.)

“Lost Boy” fits into the proper RK canon, IMO. Very much has the feel & sound that the album should have gone for over “Boomerang,” “Can’t Complain,” and “PTL.”

AFF ranks high up there with me as well. “Marigold” and “Runnin’” alone make me happy that album was released. Although, “Man” and “Mountaintop” have great structure and are unique without dipping further back into CL territory.

 

What's everybody's favourite track on Air for Free? Just listened to it trying to pick one out and I'm having a tough time

It's definitely either Bummin', Mountaintop, Elephant Parade, God or Heartache. All some all time best RK tunes

 

Empty House, Marigold, and Heartache are my top 3.

 

Ahh, forgot to mention Empty House. Definitely an awesome song and very interesting for them to do but I'd say it probably doesn't crack my top 5. Great choice regardless though

 

Empty House, Air For Free, Man, Heartache

Elephant Parade gets honorable mention just because it is so different from most of their songs

 

Shit! Nearly forgot how incredible “Heartache” is, as well! That song is beautiful.

 

Empty House is my favourite Relient K song by a decent margin at this point. I love it so much.

 

Man, Flower, or Empty House for me.

 

Man, Empty House, Marigold

 

Bummin, empty house, mountaintop, flower, marigolds, so many

 

1) Empty House 2) Flower 3) Heartache 4) Local Construction 5) Man

 

Marigold w/ extended intro!!!

 

I have been revisiting these guys in reverse order almost, and I am having such a blast. Just getting hit in the face with all of the reasons I luv this band, some of them very nostalgic and flooding me with memories of good times past. But I really do love this band; especially everything after Mmhmm.

Spending a bit of time with Air for Free today, I am happy to read some more of Matt's lyrics from that record and really ~listen to these guys again. I think, despite the fact that I like it and think it's great , ignoring Collapsible Lung and maybe some of the earlier really straight up pop punk albums... these guys have really hit their stride

 

Is this available anywhere online (not just the intro, the whole thing) ?
