The Dangerous Summer Band • Page 18

For real.

I wonder if Hopeless would be game? They are signed on for one more yet, aren't they?

 

War Paint came out five years ago today. Hard for me to believe it's already been that long. I remember that summer like it was yesterday. Must have played that album 100+ times between when it leaked in early July and when I went back to school in late August. Every time I climbed into my car, there was just no other album I wanted to listen to. There have been a lot of albums I've loved since then, but I don't think I've connected to any of them in quite the same way.

 

Craig, the world's #1 binge listener

 

Not anymore. I definitely abdicated my throne to some of the people in the Goodness thread back in May.

 

Haha, I remember that. How anyone can listen to an album that much in a relatively short period of time astounds me.

 

Especially something like Goodness. I love that album, but it's not an album I can play on repeat.

 

Same. I find it way too dense for that kind of play.

 

I felt that way about Home too, though, and a lot of people played that one pretty religiously. Of the two, I guess I'd be more likely to listen to Goodness more than once in a day.

 

Haha, I never would've listened to Home more than once in a day either... then again, I'd rarely do that with any album.

 

I listened to both a lot.

 

It's been a long time since I've gone a day without listening to the hotelier

 

I just went back to this for some nice summer driving and I love it.

 

Was just flipping through their Twitter. Never realize Cody make an official apology. Maybe that's why he's been so quiet as of late.

 

he did?

 

He apologized on AP too, then he forged AJs name on a lyric book and started acting ridiculous again. He stole money from AJ too I think? Like he drained the bank account or something. He just can't be trusted no matter what.

 

Yeah, like back in February. Crazy. I follow them and totally missed those tweets.

 

I missed em too then. Still, they don't mean much at this point

 

If Cody was acting like a normal, decent human being I would probably be fine with a TDS reunion. Floodlove is still poop though, no matter how nice you are.

 

I don't want a reunion, honestly. I don't trust Cody at all and I didn't like Golden Record enough to want something that might be similar. I'm fine with this band staying in the past and keeping my positive memories of those first two albums. I'd listen to an AJ solo record though.

 

I can't forgive him sexually assaulting a girl and stealing money, no matter how decent he acts

 

Disclaimer: I'd also be down for whatever AJ does, if anything. I'd prefer that over any TDS reunion tumors.

 

Camp "TDS reunion without Cody, even though Cody owns all the pages and the name"

 

The other guys should just form a new band. "The Safe Winter."

For real though they should.

 

Kinda dig that band name actually haha

 

God I remember that summer. It was great by British standards, and I was ending my first long term (2 years) relationship. I remember the sun beating down, shades on, headphones in, listening to those spacey guitar lines...

Cause the sun I finally reached it,
give me reason to move on now,
but there's something in this heart I lost somehow.

This album basically was all I would listen to. I hadn't ever really encountered something with quite the same take on pop-punk, and AJ's lyrics and melodic delivery are something I still think separate these from every other band in the genre except one or two.
