The Early November - Lilac (September 27, 2019) Album • Page 34

"My Weakness" is definitely the most classic TEN track here. I'm not in love with the opening riff, but that chorus is killer.

 

Seeing them for the first time tonight. I'm stoked!

 

The chorus to My Weakness keeps reminding me of Feel It Still and I can’t quit that thought.

what an album. I put off listening to it, shame on me. I will be returning to this for a while. I loved the singles- Ave Maria is so good. God, Ace can do no wrong with me.

 

Anyone catch that mountain range in my living room chorus melody played on the trumpet in ....I believe it is fame?

 

hi here is my interview!
A Conversation With The Early November's Ace Enders - Magnet Magazine

 

It's Embers you idiot

 

I'm loving this so far. Idk why but Imbue didn't click with me at all when it came out, but I'm into it after revisiting it as of late. This one brings back some of the poppiness of In Currents, the experimentation of the trilogy and hints of Ace's other projects, but all glued together in a cohesive way. I'm really impressed. As soon as the production choices on a few songs grow on me, I can see it becoming my favorite post-reunion album.

 

Too cool! Excited to read it.

 

Imbue didn't click with me either. I think it's like Ace said in the interview--It's because it wasn't vocally focused and didn't really have choruses.

 

I didn't but now I'll have to listen back to it! (Not that I wasn't going to already)

 

I still don’t get what Ace means when he says Imbue doesn’t have choruses haha. Does he just mean like, a chorus he’s not proud of? Lack of a strong radio friendly hook? I just don’t think that across the board they’re as “jammy” of a band as he thinks they are

 

I think he meant sing-a-long, big hooky choruses.

 

I don’t care begs to differ

 

yea, def feels like an album with a lot of choruses, interesting take tho.

 

I think pretty much every song on that record has a great hook to it, so that’s a big take for me

 

Gonna listen to that one again now

 

Circulation is an example where he not only writes a big chorus, but even goes for that same type of post chorus “ooh” hook that he does in a bunch of places on this record too

 

Side note I am just realizing it’s You OWN My Mind lol. I’ve been hearing “on”

 

Honestly, that quote made me wonder if Ace knows what band he's in haha. They have so many big catchy choruses.

 

I personally think imbue was ace's best album, vocally.

Lilac has a lot of nice tracks. The band used more piano for this album. I think it woulda been super great melodic album if there was more bill lugg

 

I keep hearing it as you on my mind the first 2 times and you own my mind the second 2 repetitions ? Possibly? Haha I don’t know

 

i agree lol, i think he was trying to say that this record was more “pop” without saying those exact words

 

Ordered the vinyl tonight.

 

Honestly if I didn’t know the title of the song, I would for sure think he’s saying ‘you ON my mind’

 

What part is that at?
