The Early November Band • Page 71

I'm not in love with the sound here but it doesn't overtly bother me either. there wasn't any moments that actively took me out of the moment with their bizarre choices like the chorus of Hit by a Car at least haha

 

I like Trees but can’t quite figure out why it’s opening the record.

 

I do think the structure of this is pretty strange, but I also think this benefits from my not being overly familiar with the original takes. I will say I wish pretty pretty was a bit more robust tho. Was very excited for that one

 

I like this, and will jam on the regular when I’m in the mood for TEN.. I think my one worry from this is, i sort of feel like we are done getting something at the production quality of IMBUE, which is a shame bc I LOVE how that record sounds.

 

yeah I do really miss the full band energy and gritty production of Imbue. that album had some teeth

 

miiight be binging their discog for the first time in a few years. still think "The Truth Is" is one of the most beautiful songs ever made

 

Finally listening to this. Trees is very sweet. I like it a lot.

 

Maybe you're right, though I'm just used to TEN with more layers, not to mention the era of TRITC and ICMAM's debut with lots of dialogue recordings in the background, samples etc., guess it was quite magical for the time

 

I like it overall. Trees and Denent are the standouts for me.

 

Over the shoulder and Sand bang. I enjoyed this record a ton, hah. Didn’t expect much from this one honestly, happily surprised. Thanks TEN

 

five years is head and shoulders the best song on here

 

got my record yesterday :) this is a fun release I'm glad exists and I'm very happy to have Five Years one of my favorite songs ever on vinyl. I've also been listening to/thinking about Trees a lot. hearing him acoustic like that really feels like classic TEN

 

5am on sunday really sounds like move along for the first like five seconds lol

 

I think I might have had the same thought initially

 

working my way slowly through all the demos, man there's a lot. my main thought so far is its crazy the electric Make it Happen didn't make Room's too Cold. it honestly coulda been the lead single lol

 

It somehow leaked all the way back when the album was out and I've jammed it since then, just such a rocker

 

I think it’s pretty cool to do this as a release and capture a pretty definitive era for this band. I’d be down to hear other bands do this with songs that didn’t make albums.

 

One of my favorite of theirs

 

Anyone in Jersey going to the show tonight?

 

Their setlist for this tour looks awesome. I feel like they rarely play this many songs, if ever?

No Lilac is a CRIME.

 

Very much a greatest hits type set

 

devastated that they don't appear to play Five Years :(

 

on the other hand...money in his hand...
