The Early November Band • Page 83

there were much better versions of Gods and Connected on myspace before the gold rush era lol. but i like gold rush too and i throw it on pretty often (especially on a sunny spring morning)

 

Gold Rush is great but the production quality is way too muffled.

 

I'm very late to the party, but if we're talking When I Hit the Ground, I always thought the similarity of the bridge of the title track and Days Aways' "Stay the Same" was noteworthy. If this has been discussed here in the past then I apologize (and I really like that song either way) but did anyone from either band ever say anything about it?

 

I remember Ace had to address infringement claims on the title track, but I thought it was regarding a Northstar song.

 

Sounds like he has a track record lol (getup kids)

 

the question i wanna ask is which version of REACTION do you all prefer? the one off secret wars OR when i hit the ground?

 

Honestly I think I like them pretty equally, no huge preference for me

 

There's more than one version?

 

yeah the EP version and then it was re-recorded for the album

 

and the album version

 

They're both good, but I think I have the original? I don't know. The EP version hits harder.

 

I don't remember hearing about that, was there an article or interview somewhere? A quick google isn't finding anything.

I always figured there was pretty much no way that Ace hadn't heard the Days Away song, but anything is possible I reckon.

 

Unless something makes major $$$ it's silly for me for these types of bands to be suing each other. Especially a guy like Ace who has written 100's maybe 1000's of songs. That song literally does nothing for his catalogue.

 

as much as I enjoy the dude's music trying to keep track of Ace's solo shit is like rocket science lmao. got like four projects with marginally different names from each other, some of which cross over, plus even more that technically aren't released but are out there. it's a lot

 

I feel like he needs to create a solo project that puts out the best of his solo project songs. I'm only half kidding.

those first two I Can Make a Mess albums were my shit back in the day

 

Isn’t that missing Silver and Gold and Clear Eyes Fanzine

 

A Million Different People was before the second ICMAM album???

 

yeppers

 

meh, didn't feel it was necessary to include a Christmas release, but yeah Clear Eyes should be between Fifteen Years and Lilac, I'll edit

 

the holiday album rules

 

wait, so if you did count the holiday album then Twenty was also release number Twenty? That's fun

 

Ok now I'll add it :)

 

I don't think it occurred to me until seeing it listed out that we haven't had a Mess album in almost 10 years.
