Ruston Kelly - The Weakness (April 7, 2023) Album • Page 5

Hope next weeks song is one we’ve heard nothing of so far.

 

Trying to think of what song this could even be off the album.

 

Wicked Hands or Let Only Love Remain based on what he’s said about it also being one of the contenders for the album title. That’s my guess.

 

listens to Shape & Destroy exactly once

whoops

 

Is that variant the same as this one?

oh you gotta be fucking kidding me lol, I thought this was some kinda membership exclusive edition

worth it, the thing is $60 before import taxes on the Magnolia site anyway so I didn't pay too much over the odds.

 

now dig into the dirt emo ep. The covers ep that got me into him!

 

I wonder what Steinbeck books he read

 

Did anyone catch Rusty's interview with Mark Hoppus on After School show?

 

LOLR is probably my least favorite on the album at this point. Can’t imagine it as a single, it’s really slow.

 

Not a ton that was terribly insightful. Talked about writing the record in the wake of his divorce, his sister's divorce, and his mom's cancer diagnosis (she's fine now). Also mentioned he's friends with Tim Armstrong now.

 

“Mending Song” out on Thursday!

 

interesting choice

 

How did you receive the album so early?

 

i'm writing about it

 

Last man alive to get an advance checking in...

Yep, this one's a good one.

 

Sir, I do not have an advance.

 

I like that song a lot but I wouldn’t make it a single. Then again “Brave” and “Rubber” were not my ideal singles and this song basically splits that. Interesting choice!

 

He shared lyrics on Twitter (I think) and I’m pretty sure I’m going to love this one.

 

Gives me big tallest man on earth vibes

 

Is this more like the last album or like the one before that?

 

About half and half I’d say

 

Liking it, not fully in love.

This piano version he played over the summer though… so good

 

It's a nice song, but it strikes me as something that probably plays better in the context of the album. I feel like he picks very strange choices for singles.
