"I'll Let You Live" is awesome. It's always sounded like the sonic equivalent of Godzilla rampaging a city, just lurching and devastating.

 

taste

 

Better do another album ranking soon!

 

Should we do a singles ranking, too. What album had the best lead single, etc.

 

Lead singles ranked:

1. MakeDamnSure
2. A Decade Under the Influence
3. Flicker, Fade
4. Great Romances of the 20th Century
5. Sink Into Me
6. Faith (When I Let You Down)
7. Tidal Wave
8. The One

 

Best opening track on Louder Now
-What’s It Feel Like To Be A Ghost?

 

If we’re taking about how a lead single is supposed to function (getting people hyped for the album), it’s gotta be MDS. Great song and it was huge. After hearing that, the three month wait or whatever it was to the album release felt like forever.

 

I totally forgot Faith was a single. That’s a rough one. Especially when Best Places To Be A Mom was right there.

I always forget that The One was the lead off for 152 and not S’old. Both good songs, but S’old is a true banger.

 

A Decade Under the Influence
MakeDamnSure
Sink Into Me

the rest of 'em. Not a strong singles band. not exactly a strong albums band, either

 

I remember MDS was performed live before releasing as a single in March, so technically only a month wait. Depending on how you heard it first though, three months can still be accurate.

 

Well it was month that seemed like three then haha

 

I thought a lot about the morning after...

 

what if @Jason Tate gets a preview link to Mark's ME album and comes back to us all like

 

1) a decade under the influence
2) make damn sure
3) sink into me
4) great romances of the 20th century
5) flicker fade
6) tidal wave
7) faith
8) the one

 

Does not appear to be a Straylight Run thread, so I’ll post this here.

The Needles The Space is 18 today. Which feels weird.

 

That album is an all-timer for me

 

speaking of 18, wasn't there like 18 tracks on that whole thing?

 

Looks like on the iTunes version due to bonus tracks. But the actual album is 13 tracks.

 

Oh we’re ranking lead singles??


A Decade Under the Influence
Great Romances of the 20th Century
Sink Into Me
MakeDamnSure
Tidal Wave
Flicker, Fade
Faith (When I Let You Down)
The One

 

Think I’d put faith over tidal wave and maybe tidal wave last but the rest of this is right

 

Tidal Wave is a banger

 

There was a time back when the album was coming out that the Canadian station 89X (RIP) was really pushing that song. At the time I wasn't even into the band remember all the promos for it. Weird.

 

1) a decade under the influence
2) makedamnsure
3) flicker fade
4) great romances of the 20th century
5) Faith
6) tidal wave
7) sink into me
8) the one

...weird to think the Cute Without the E wasn't the lead single for Tell All Your Friends, that would be number 1 for me

 

I really hope/wish we get some new songs to continue building on 152 this year.

I feel like the inevitable 20 year Louder Now tour is gonna happen next year and while I'm certain it will be fun, I would love for them to keep the new music momentum going. The thought of it being another 2 years away is depressing.

 

Please, no more album tours.
