Sorority Noise - You're Not As _____ As You Think (March 17, 2017) Album • Page 13

Essential New Music: Sorority Noise’s “You’re Not As _____ As You Think” :)

 

Man, I thought this was awful. Struggled to get through it even once. After Joy, Departed got tons of hype and I didn't latch onto it much, I was thinking this might be the record where the band clicks with me somewhat... but I can say now that they're just not my thing.

 

This is Cam's writing at its peak, imo. Best album of the year so far for me. First Letter and Car are my favorite tracks currently.

 

Found my record waiting for me when I got home from work. Just hit play

On my first listen, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to digging into this record.

 

So 'St. Julien' is Julien Baker. Has he mentioned anywhere who 'St. Sean' is?

 

Yea.. he's mentioned a couple of times on the record as his friend that took his own life :( hes the person whose house he is outside of on no halo

 

Yeah, I realized that basically as soon as I posted it and then listened to the song.

Somehow I just hadn't put two and two together as that being the same person.

 

As a casual listener of this band, I gotta say I think this is the album I've enjoyed most

 

Same- I really liked joy departed too so maybe I'm not a casual listener anymore ha

 

Curious to see if anyone else had this problem? I know Second City Print originally e-mailed the wrong download as well on Friday, so I'm wondering if the company just dropped the ball on the digital download card site as well.

 

First listen through and I enjoyed it. Hoping to give it some repeated listens.

Also this is the first new album I've listened to since the Menzingers came out a month and a half ago lol

 

why? lots of good stuff has come out

 

no there can only be two good records per quarter

 

true, almost entirely by men too

 

Idk, just haven't been nearly as into checking new music as I have in the past. Busier than usual, spending free time differently, etc

 

This record is insanely good, it took a few listens for it to fully click with me but now I'm pretty sure it's my number one this year... and I loved that menzingers record to death

 

First Letter makes me all kinds of emotional. This record is fantastic, except for the last song.

 

Sorority Noise: You're Not As _____ As You Think Album Review | Pitchfork

8.0 on pitchfork, review by Cohen


Wait, okay so is it 4 underscores or 5 that's official?

 

An emo record will never get best new music lol

 

I still need to listen to this. My band is kind of in the thick of finishing recording our record and for some reason record my own music has diminished my desire to listen to new music coming out - but I really do need to hear this

 

This album is so damn good... currently in my top 5 of the year. It has that brutally honest lyric vibe I love about Matt Berninger and Jesse Lacey. With musical stylings of Hotelier, Back Heart Procession, and a hint of indie rock stuff with high/low orchestration/etc. like Bon Iver and so forth... all under the pop-punk/emo umbrella still.

I need to find their older stuff.

 

What is the first part to this?


I was turning eighteen and I was doing everything I could to try to make myself feel better but I felt an absence, I felt like I needed to die, I felt like nothing existed and I felt that I wasn't worthwhile breathing the same air as the ones I loved and my family, and then it came to the point where I started losing friends who had the same fucking ideas as myself but I have to be strong and I have to live my life as a continuation of theirs lost and I have to do everything in my fucking power to be the person that I can be and live my life the best way I fucking can and some days it's so hard to fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand

 

My aoty so far

 

Same

 

This is pretty excellent. Very passionate.
