The Early November — The Early November (June 14, 2024) Album • Page 19

With Fall coming in, I gotta give it another listen. I definitely always thought "The Lilac," "Perfect Sphere," "My Weakness," "Hit By A Car" and "Ave Maria" were great, but the album didn't live me as long as others (like the self-titled or In Currents). Always thought the album's mix was a little weak, particularly coming off of Imbue, which sounds absolutely massive, but its also not the same kind of record so *shrugs*

Honestly, my favorite song from the Lilac era is the original version of "5am on Sunday," which came out on the Twenty album. This version was sent to Ace's Patreon members back in 2020, it was called "13 Years" and was much darker, slower and moodier, really highlighting the pain in the lyrics, which I thought the new version shied away from. So there's definitely great, classic TEN fare from this period, no doubt about it.
