Say Anything - Oliver Appropriate (January 25, 2019) Album • Page 24

Is FJM good? He always seems super pretentious imo

 

He's one of the best songwriters around right now. The whole "character" angle gets thrown around a lot, but it doesn't keep the songwriting from being genuine, and as far as seeming "pretentious" goes, he's about as showy and self-aware than Max. I'd personally consider all four of his albums essentials of the decade, so yeah, he's worth diving into

 

I can't stand his music, but it seems he is a very love or hate dude

 

New Perma?

 

Hell yeah. They look so happy.

 

Hmmmm maybe I’ll check his albums out finally. I’m somewhat familiar with a few tracks. Just never really clicked.

 

Listen to Fear Fun and I Love You Honey Bear before anything else. Those are definitely the strongest (and less pretentious) albums.

 

Fun Times in Babylon is great. So is Mr Tillman off his newest one. He writes straightforward classic pop that is always slightly askew.

 

At the very, very least, I Love You Honeybear is a classic and one of the best singer-songwriter albums of the 2010s

 

His new album is the least "showy" for what it's worth, mostly straightforward, devastating ballads outside of the single. But I recommend listening to them in order. They each stand on their own as something uniquely different from the others, and as people here have pointed out, I Love You, Honeybear is an absolutely wild sophmore LP

 

he put out my current album of the year

 

Im catching on this conversation. I take it someone typed Artist-Album leak was hit with a foray false sites and leaks.

 

Narcicuss is kind of an odd song, but has this vocoder vocal effect that comes out of nowhere during the bridge--it's even a bit jarring. It's also very ominous, atmospheric, and strangely beautiful. Pretty intriguing for an acoustic bonus track.

 

I love that song. Great chorus.

 

It’s a shame they stopped doing b-sides after IARB era. Can’t think of any except Narcissus, and the other one from S/T era.

 

their B Sides from IARB are fantastic though.

There are a couple from Anarchy, "Their Notions" and "Here's To You, Blue Eyes." Also some ridiculously good bonus tracks from IDTII.

 

Tickle Me Red was the bside to IDOTG
Self titled had quite a few
Anarchy had a few as well
I don't think Hebrews or IDTII have any that were released.

EDIT: Totally forgot about the bonus tracks to IDTII.

 

The Two Tongues album has Chris Conley signing Every Man Has A Molly as a b-side

 

Wow honestly had no idea there was a b side from IDOTG, and didn’t know about IDTII bonus tracks.

 

I like Max's cover of third engine too

 

Say Anything Tracks

Went down this rabbit hole last night. Still love those first couple Painful Splits records, too.

 

Yeah TPS 2 has some good ones

 

Tickle Me Red is sometimes my favorite SA song tbh

 

Dealer was such a fun song to play on the guitar. As is Tickle Me Red.
