Special Explosion - To Infinity (December 15, 2017) Album • Page 5

Yeah, totally agree!!!1

 

Yeah this is wonderful. Fire is pretty clearly my favorite after one listen. The Death Cab comparisons are obvious, he sounds just like Ben Gibbard lol

 

Woah @ Perfect Song.

 

L

yea this is my favorite

album slays

that drum fill on skeleton is awesome

 

yeah Perfect Song is real fuckin good
two songs in and I love already

 

WOAH @ FIRE

 

the closer is perfect, the outro is so beautifully done.. the "I can't do anything right" followed by the instrumental section is a huge album highlight for me.

 

Yeah, not that it hasn't already been said, but Fire is immediately one of the best songs of the year.

I'll need to spend some more time with the full record, but my initial impression is very positive. This seems right up my alley.

 

Gotta check this out after hearing Fire holy shit

 

"Perfect Song" gave me Modest Mouse vibes

this is definitely going to be a grower. way different than i expected even after the death cab comparisons ("Your Bed" is the only song that sounds remotely similar to their old material) and there were definitely parts of this i enjoyed more than others. not bad by any means, just gonna need more time to unpack it.

 

this REALLY reminds me of Trans/Plans era DC. which i feel like i don’t compare things to that era as much as i do the earlier stuff

 

there's a fire in the house and we're burning all the wood that we cut from a tree that fell into the yard in the middle of the winter and we want to be a little bit warmer than we were last year

 

Yep I have abandoned making a proper list this year. Too much stuff I haven’t been able to give a proper listen to and outside of my 2-3 favorite releases of the year it’s impossible to try and order everything else.

 

This album has some of the best drumming I've heard all year.

 

wow... this record is sooo good. i just finished my first listen with headphones.

 

This thing is very good and has wrecked my AOTY list that is all

 

Never heard these guys but diving in. Sounds really cool so far.

 

Goddddamn this is good

 

still really want to spend some time with this but all i care about is charli xcx rn

 

I want this on vinyl

 

Fire kind of reminds me of Transatlanticism (the song)
both start soft then grow to have kind of an epic feel by the end
plus they’re both perfect songs

 

I have trouble getting through the record I get to fire and then I just listen to it over and over and over again

 

kevin (of topshelf) says he's not sure if that's happening or not

 

Second listen in and this rules

 

this is probably going to be lower than i would have thought on my aoty list because it hasn't fully dug itself in yet and this year was pretty stacked anyways. will get a spot though
