    Has been just Peter and Michael since 2013 I believe.

    I don’t think I liked my first listen of this. Green to Gold is like an all-timer for me and the little EP of singles were great too, so maybe I was hoping for more of that. I think I’m having a hard time listening to a record that is almost all environmental messages and less personal topics (or at least that’s what it seemed like while casually listening). I’ll definitely give it some more spins and see how it feels.

    On a different note, I really like how the band have the drums play a prominent role in their songs, as opposed to just being in the back and supporting everything else. I think it’s unique and makes the drummer feel like a vital part of their songwriting.

    I agree that this didn't quite connect with me like their other stuff, but the encompassing sadness of the album was pretty impactful. I will give it another chance soon

    Not really a fan of the pitchfork review
     
  7. it felt a little defensive when I think the point is that Peter is often taking himself to task

    I see this band for the first time in 7 years on Friday and I have FEELINGS about it.

    Album's continued to grow on me over the last few months. A quietly devastating record and not a single song I don't love.

    I absolutely love it, it hits even harder after seeing a bunch of it live in March.

    didnt really do any of this surprisingly, think it was only the opener and carnage

    great show, peters voice is incredible live and parade was as otherworldly as i was hoping
