    Same. I remember getting Black Swan and being a bit bummed there were only a few heavy tracks. Same with the Constant. The song writing is so much better on those albums though, and Dan's vocals get better with each album.

    Never heard anything other than the singles on PA, but listening to ITWOD right now, and really enjoy this. Love the heaviness of it, yet still very catchy.

    Even though they don't have a lot of singles from each album, I think they chose solid singles. Wake Up, The Antidote and I'm Alive are all awesome songs.

    I strongly recommend listening to the whole albums but if someone is going to look up a couple songs on youtube or something, I'd recommend The Antidote, Angel in the Swamp, Pay Your Enemy and The Dream is Over :-)

    Anyone able to do a top 5? Even though I was able to do one for Thrice, YC and Sum 41.....this one seems harder for some reason. Maybe because to me all 4 albums have been constantly fantastic with no dip in quality?

    Anyone here listen to their Page Ave 10 year acoustic album? I feel like out of all the bands doing the same thing (YC, TBS, ect) they reworked their songs and it turned out sooo good. I think it flew under people's radar though because they aren't as big.

    It's so good! One of Ryan's best riffs, and that dude is a riff master. Criminally underrated guitarist.

    Oh yes. He stands out but I also think Dan and Josh are very very talented at their instruments too. Their bass lines are the only thing that have never really stood out. I cannot wait for new music.

    Not to mention Phil's backup vocals, which are superb. Do you like Greek Fire?

    Love them. And yes, his vocals a must. They stand out a ton on ITWOD and BS. Besides Children Sing , I can't think of much on Constant. That's kinda OK though , because it's Dan's best vocal work.

    I love the interplay between him and Dan in the Bridge of We're Not Gonna Make It. I love that song.

    Here's a fan video my friends and I did to Tell Me. Wish they played it more often, even though it was played at their last show. It sounds so huge live.

    Hell yes! I think I'll get the Live in the Lou Part 2 and the CD. Very excited that we're getting new music soon!

    I'm conflicted on which to get. The small club show for 40$ would be amazing, but I also want the Signed Vinyl and the Live in Lou 2 would be cool.

    I wish they had taped the show before though since they played The Virus and Pay Your Enemy as well as covered Deadbolt, Feel Good Drag and Tip Your Bartender :-)
