Yeah I’m definitely a fan of this band now. Never realized how consistently solid they were. This album rules, and I’m digging into the old stuff as well.
Tbh I feel like these guys have been underrated among post-hardcore fans for a while compared to other bands from the era. They strike a balance between hooky, more mainstream-friendly tracks and heavier moments SO nicely!
New rankings since listening another 20 times: How Can We Go On A Part of Me Miracle Bang Bang My Home - really grown of me Youth/I Swear I'm Okay Eternal Battle Can Anybody Hear Me Praying for Rain - Reading the notes I know what they were going for, but I still think the spoken word part and the song being too all over the place keeps it from going higher but I like the ending jam a lot. Goodnight My Love - On all these replays it doesn't hold up like the other songs for me Giving Up My Heart Like Ghosts
Does anyone know how to fix the order of songs on your iphone. I bought the three singles and just now "completed my album" but now the three singles are all at the end of the cd instead of where they are supposed to be.
Vocals and production on this album are really well done. Songwriting doesn’t fit my taste well but it’s still a pretty cool record and I’ll be coming back to it... may sneak into my top 15
More of their heavier sound and it all felt tied together rather than just being a bunch of songs that are pretty good
I have listened to almost nothing else but Wolves this past week(and multiple times each day.) Still not tired of it
So I had a fun idea that I decided to try, the idea was to take a line or 2 from each song on Wolves that I really like and put them together to make lyrics to a song. Here is what i came up with: How can we go on If we're already broken? Where I swear to myself I'd make it out alive But before the angel could save my soul I can tell myself that I am not my father But it seems that I get closer every year I need this more than you know I need a miracle Tell me I'm not alone Please don't let me go Lying here just waiting for a sign That there's somebody out there Please let there be someone out there I'm stronger than I believe But I'm failing again and again A love I know I would die for Don't make me give up my heart From this hole that I've dug for myself again I've been lying here alone This is who I am, I'm lost and alone Hoping tonight I'll find my way home This is who I am, I'm lost and alone Hoping that I find my way home My home I'm hiding the things that scare me the most And I'm sorry I'm not myself now Why did I say all those things that I didn't mean? It's moments like these Where I feel like I'm tied to the tracks A train is barrelling towards me I can feel its rumble and I can see its lights But somehow I'm not too scared to die I don't pray for it to stop, I don't pray for escape All I can do is close my eyes and wait And just moments before it decides to Take my heart and take my blood I tell myself that it's only love
Another fun game would be narrowing each album to just a 6 EP. What songs would you include in what order?
Bang Bang Can Anybody Hear Me Mike Cronin My Home Goodnight, My Love Like Ghosts That’s the one for Wolves
