What’s holding me back is the fact that I really didn’t like Lilac, Twenty was a mixed bag for me (but half of that record is old songs anyways), and About Me is pretty forgettable IMO. I also feel the absence of Bill, Serg, and Joe when listening to newer TEN.
Imbue is possibly their best record to date if you ask me. I don’t believe this S/T will be anywhere near as good but I would be thrilled to be wrong here :)
I don't know why anyone wants a half good album, I hope the album is just as good or BETTER than Imbue, In Currents and Lilac (and the rest)
I forget 20 exists even though I like most of it, but still adore lilac. Hope it’s way better than the cover is!
I guess Ace has a podcast and the latest episode says he previews a new song https://open.spotify.com/show/7lGODM4XVe6BaPfiWSLfu7?si=2k3VXObPTiOmhSagAuy3tg
Jesus this new song is one of the heaviest things they’ve ever done and it is incredible. If you can listen with a VPN do it asap.. I’m floored. I’m so amped for this record now! major major major IMBUE vibes
Ignoring the absolute bangers that is Narrow Mouth, Better This Way, Magnolia, and The Negatives - I don’t know how any TEN fan can not absolutely love the perfect run of Boxing Timelines to I Don’t Care. Those 5 tracks are perfect TEN songs as far as I’m concerned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
