haha, what? he just sent me his old band's screamo ep last week and was supposed to send me the unreleased record. what brought me to mind?
Excited for my first listen. Not sure if it was posted but the First Ever Podcast ep with @jeremyxbolm has Adam on from two weeks ago and it’s a really good listen.
One listen in, this is easily the best album by a John & Shaun version of TBS. Looking forward to spending more time with this thing.
this did not knock me out on first listen but it is good. I think they succeeded in doing something they clearly always needed and wanted to do, which is create a focused and glossy collection of big, rafter-reaching songs. I think "The Stranger" is really good, something about it feels a bit sharper than a lot of the other tracks here, which I sometimes feel get a little lost in the largesse.
Yea that’s my only criticism of the song. I wanted that outro to last another 15-30 seconds at least. It really felt like it was building to something.
man this was something else lol Juice 2 Me might be my favorite of the songs we didn't hear early, but Amphetamine Smiles is far and away my favorite on here. it's going to be really interesting to see how a lot of these songs translate live
