The Armed - Perfect Saviors (August 25th 2023) Album • Page 5

Burned Mind might be the best thing they’ve ever done idk

 

Modern Vanity is just unreal

they made such a great album

 

really love Patient Mind

 

The Armed: Perfect Saviors

 

Imma have to let this rest for a bit. Gave a few listens and was honestly disappointed. A lot of the songs felt like they started slowish and kinda aimless and then picked up in the second half, leaving me wishing they had started with the second half and then developed into something even crazier (a la typical Armed fashion). FKA World, Clone, Everything's Glitter, and Public Grieving were standouts though.

That said, I need some space from this before trying to give it a chance to grow more.

 

"Public Grieving" is fucking cool.

 

I already love this record and I feel like it’s just going to keep growing for me. Everything’s Glitter has become one of my all time favorites. Did not have “The Armed make a Bon Iver song” on my bingo card. Feels like I’m hearing Julien Baker on In Heaven, as well. The fucking drumming across the record is stellar and the changes gave me chills several times. It’s all so good.

 

I go back and forth on what I think the best song is here but it’s mostly Modern Vanity or Everything’s Glitter

 

this is fucking awesome

 

The last two songs on this are stunners

 

the last minute and twenty seconds of Modern Vanity are transcendent

 

Wow this is good

 

If you want to see Kenny Szymanski lay down the bass solo in Public Grieving and a list of personnel.

 

Mark Guiliana is on this are you goddamn kidding me

 

I can’t stop listening to this

it’s the best thing I’ve heard in a very long time

 

I’m really blown away by this. I only listened to their last one and liked not loved it, but this is next level for me. I feel like this could even have mainstream appeal a la turnstile but they’d need a different type of marketing to get them there. I love their mystery and obfuscation but am not sure if that will propel them that much bigger, if that’s where they want to go

 

I feel like I saw JMJ say when Liar 2 came out that he and Mark Guiliana are the rhythm section on that song. No telling what else.

 

Sport of Measure just really clicked with me

 

the guitars on FKA World are so fucking good

 

I definitely hear the QOTSA influence all over that song.

 

Everything’s Glitter has become my fav song of the year. Time to dive into the rest

 

Vatican Under Construction blows me away

what a song

 

Patient Mind fuck yes this is what I’m talking about

 

Yeah I’m on patient mind now and it is by far my favorite thing on here so far.

 

Album has been undeniably good but I keep finding myself thinking it’s not really for me and then something extremely cool happens lol
