The Dangerous Summer - Mother Nature (June 14, 2019) Album • Page 24

i got into them in 2010 so the war paint cycle was when i was first paying attention, the hype for that album was something special too. once they dropped work in progress i think we all knew it was game over.

 

This is so impressive, AJ's style of vocals and lyric writing bring back older TDS albums but instrumentally and on a songwriting level it's like they've completely reinvented themselves

 

so far way down is the only song with the over the top gruff vocals which is extremely nice

 

It feels great

 

omg the opening guitar riff of mother nature is this a graduate song

 

omg the thing happened hahaha even reading impressions didn't spoil that for me... holy shit

 

BLIND AMBITION WHAT THE HELL YES

This is everything good about their self titled tied into 4 minutes of pure greatness.

 

i feel like theres a much more subdued vibe here than there was on s/t which makes the big moments have much bigger pay offs

 

Here I go......

 

I remember listening to RTFS on AP.net with a few when it first came out and this brings back those same feelings. Band just cemented itself firmly in my person Hall of Fame

 

I definitely overplayed Where Were You, gonna be some time before I feel out how this fits in context

 

you have to let that change you....to let that change you.....to let that change you...

 

Hey now. Virginia. Holy fuck yes.

 

i keep thinking i found the best song on the album but the next song starts. so far mother nature is the best song here

 

STARTING OVER/SLOW DOWN WHAAAAAATTTTTT

 

omg the beginning of better light yaassss theyre doing the damn thing!!!!

 

Yeah all the singles sound wayyyy better than the Apple Music versions I've been listening, idk what's up with that

 

wow that song was not what i was expecting. good for them for doing that. effective penultimate track for sure

 

It Is Real is the first song I'm not quite blown away by on first listen, feels like a grower

 

within 10 seconds you just know consequence of living is the best closer since waves lol

 

Virginia gets up there, but at the right moments it needs to. Also, Virginia reminds me of Bush and I love it.

 

and weirdly the spiritual follow up to that song? tell me im not crazy

 

Did they really just write a second classic album? This thing is unreal already and it's just my first listen.

Long after we all thought they were dead and gone. Their spotify numbers are booming.

They may just make it after all. Awesome.

 

third*

 

Releasing Way Down was such a misdirect for this album

 

Starting Over/Slow Down could have easily ended ... but oh no it didn’t. Because this band fucking goes for it.
