Moments for me (Non-singles) - everything revealed/nothing denied - gospel chorus, best guitar solo/riffing in forever, vocal editing - bridge of roadkill - streaming into Bday party (smoooth) - tonight’s interpolation of the temptations, and that first drop/break - having not head being a stunner - Tim healys verse in dont worry can’t wait to keep peeling back the individual instruments for each track. Effortlessly convoluted production
The Pinegrove line doesn’t take me out of the song when I listen to it ‘cause it’s written in a way where I can engage the observation however I want. But, when I hear Matty talk about it, I get more & more upset about that whole thing.
Yeah. He takes that question like the concern is around Evan being aware the lyric exists, not around how it could be seen as diminishing a serious incident.
Just realised he was specifically asked if Evan knew about it. His answers around it still aren't great though.
I've seen a few "acoustic" mixes of "The Birthday Party," but none of them felt right. Here's my take. I'd love to replace the "do you wanna come and get fucked up?" lines with some house-party gangs at some point.
7th listen- I love it all. I love the length and how twisty it is. For every moment that I question if it is working, there is another awe inspiring moment. The first drop into Tonight still makes me feel like I am floating away. Unreal how good this is.
And I feeellll like I', flyinggg awayyyy Never looked at you the same way you were echoing all your thoughts to meeee I started seeing colour once again lol you saying that reminded me of that TDS song.
There are just so many songs on here I realllly like but don't love cause of one reason or another. Nothing Revealed would be an absolute smash of this record without that voice, and Then Because would be one of the best songs on here if it was just like :35 seconds longer. OCD for sure, but I feel like they were SO close on so many songs. Also - half of these songs could be great closers I think.
