No matter how insufferable he gets, I think it's nearly impossible to argue Max's strength for writing hooks and melodies. What are your standouts? - "You think your Jesus Christ/I'm not you're Jesus Christ" - Vexed - Cemetery bridge - "Now we are the Sediment" - Insult to the Dead chorus - John Mcclane outro - Crawl two tongues - All of the silence
Have you ever seen those paintings that were done by a patient that suffered dementia and over the years the paintings got worse and worse?
Newest song out today is a song called “I will never Lie to Lucy” and includes talking about him masturbating and snorting pills (in a song about his oldest daughter Lucy) I don’t understand how he is allowed to tour. I don’t understand how he still has a band playing these shows with him (especially Fred???). I don’t understand how Motion City is somehow fine with all this and continuing on with the tour?? Each day he releases a new song that is more disturbing and/or just completely unlistenable than the last. This dude needs serious mental health help. I am a mental health professional/ licensed social worker and to me he is just screaming for it and clearly manic. Again- I know I keep repeating myself but I just don’t get why everyone is just turning a blind eye to this when each day it gets worse and worse.
Truth is most SA fans don’t care about any of Maxs issues and only care about nostalgia. The social media comments are full of people who still worship him and think this garbage he is making is solid music. The truth is MCS knows they will draw way better on a coheadliner with SA than touring by themselves. Surprisingly this show hasn’t even sold out here. I think both bands draw has fallen off quite a bit so coheadliners like this are there best bet for having a well attended tour unless they do some sort of Anniversary tour which both bands have done to death recently. Unfortunately artists have families to feed and will sacrifice morals to make a dollar. I can’t blame them in this economy, but no way in my right mind can I support Max touring so I will be skipping this tour as much as I’d like to see MCS/Oso Oso.
I've been wondering if Fred is bound contractually to finish these SA tours that have been booked since way back. Or if he keeps committing to these shows until TBS announces him back full time. As for MCS, I was wondering how much more of a draw they are gonna have with this tour being a co-headliner with SA. I'm kinda oblivious to how both bands draw on their own these days, or if there's even much of a crossover amongst their audiences. A MCS + Starting Line co-headliner would have been much more enticing, IMO.
I haven't listened to any of these songs, but I saw that the two most recent are 9 minutes and 8 minutes. There's no one actually listening to these, right? They play count has to be in the hundreds at most
Yeah you can see the views and number of comments on socials and reddit go down from one song to the next
Would have liked to see Yellowcard, MCS, and TSL all tour together. That could have been just perfection.
