while i didnt think it was likely, if TEN did go on warped, i imagine it would have been ace and whoever he got for the last TEN tour
Why is Imbue so good? Narrow Mouth as the opener gets me every single time. I feel the rush The adrenaline I can actually feel the blood Coursing through my veins How do you hold on to it?
love harmony; narrow mouth, better this way, boxing timelines, harmony, and nothing lasts forever are my top 5.
Narrow Mouth, Nothing Lasts Forever, Circulation, Better That Way, Harmony Top 5 in that order, the other songs aren’t even really close. I’m very split on Imbue as a record lol.
Narrow Mouth, Better This Way, Magnolia, The Negatives, Boxing Timelines, Circulation, Harmony, Cyanide, I Don’t Care, Nothing Lasts Forever, Digital Age
I’ve said this a lot but Imbue is at least on par with TRTC for me probably, and is so so much better than In Currents imo as well. It feels like the closest thing possible to being an album the band might have made directly after TMTMTP had they not broken up.
Yea In Currents is my favorite, it’s so catchy. I wasn’t blown away by Imbue when it first came out aside from the first 2 songs but I do love it now though.
Truth be told, Imbue is probably my least favorite TEN record, but "least favorite TEN record," when they're my second-favorite band of all time, is still better than 99.9% of everything else that gets released in a given year. I go back and forth all the time on whether TRTC or TMTMTP is my favorite of theirs overall. But they've never put out anything that isn't great so I feel like ranking their albums is almost pointless.
In Currents feels very uneven in terms of quality and structure. Just doesn’t feel super cohesive to me as an album, personally, despite some good transitions between songs. I think the production is kinda iffy on it as well.
all true. digital age is also probably their worst song. i still love that record though, i think i've never been more excited for something to come out
In Currents doesn't really feel like a very cohesive album to me either but it has so many great songs that I don't even care. Easily my favourite album of theirs.
Digital Age gave me chills when he sang it on the live acoustic tour, so I can't consider it their worst.
In Currents is a good record, but it does feel like a "we just got back together and need to get used to writing together" kind of feel to it. Whereas Imbue sounds like they are back to firing on all cylinders again. But as most in here have said, there really isn't a bad TEN album.
