I still think Notes is a little bloated, but overall it has most of my favorite songs from the band on it.
It's a solid playlist and a bit tough to listen to as a whole album. But there are tons of gems throughout the track list.
notes is about as good as it gets when it comes to albums that play more like a mixtape ala mastodon's the hunter
lol that’s interesting. The Hunter is probably my least favorite Mastodon album but viewing it as mixtape more is a pretty inspired take.
I say this thing is bloated but when I try to remove tracks, I have a hard time picking what should go? The 1975, The End, Streaming would be my easiest. Bagsy too prob. Playing On My Mind also feels like their least essential acoustic track.
Not talking about these specific bands recently mentioned, but my favorite thing on this website and the internet in general is someone saying “if you like the 1975, you’ll love this!” and it’s the most generic boiler plate 80s band you’ve ever heard
No one ever has the secret sauce that the 1975 has because like I said in the fall out boy thread if all you hear from the 1975 is straight 80s worship you need to listen again because there’s so much more going on
Yup. I had Notes on earlier and “I Think There’s Something You Should Know” was playing and was just blown away.
There are songs on notes I listen to more than any other songs they’ve made and some songs I’ve listened to less than five times lol. just that kind of album. the all timers are unreal though. roadkill, the birthday party, and me and you together song belong in the Smithsonian
