The Flatliners Band • Page 3

Whoa. Super glad I checked this out, this is by far the best record I've heard from them.

 

most of the bands in their niche seem to either get huge, make a slew of identically sounding records, or stop making records after one slower one

this band made two after dead language, which is an anomaly, but not in a bad way

 

I really like the first half, second half is still lukewarm for me. Feels very 2000s Foo Fighter ish, which I'm not sure how I feel about yet lol

 

First half of the record, minus Wedding Speech is much better imo than the second half.

 

This is their first LP since Dead Language.

 

huh

never mind then, I don't know why I thought they had two

 

No Roads is such a great closer. After 4-5 listens I've grown to really love this album.

 

They put out a b-sides compilation in 2015, Division of Spoils.

 

not digging this record unfortunately. they definitely took a step backwards

 

I love this album!

 

Can confirm this records improves when driving around in beautiful weather

 

I can back up this opinion

 

I'm on board with this fully now, the last two songs are pretty weak though. Still my least favorite album by them but some solid jams on here

Hopefully there's a bunch of b-sides for this one. I'm sure a lot of older sounding songs were cut

 

Is anyone still jamming to this record? I've still got it in heavy rotation.

 

Yeah I've come around a lot to this in recent weeks. Still think the first half is stronger but overall it really complements Cavalcade and Dead Language nicely.

 

I need to get back on this but too busy with 68, smidley and Paramore to have time for it

 

Yep I just saw them last week too. New songs were killer live, although we only got 3.

I think the only song I don't like is Chameleon Skin. And I've found a huge amount of love for Unconditional Love. That long "Yeah" he lets out near the end is fucking awesome.

Just got the vinyl as well

 

I've definitely grown to enjoy Chameleon Skin and Unconditional Love. I'll agree the first half is better than the second. Nicotine Lips - Indoors - Hunan Party Trick is a killer 3 song stretch. I'm pretty confident that I like this more than Dead Language. What were the 3 new songs they played?

 

Human Party Trick, Indoors & Hang My Head

 

I still come back to this a ton, it's such an enjoyable listen.

This along with this year's albums from The Menzingers, Captain, We're Sinking, and Rise Against make a great 4-album run. That would also be a killer tour lineup.

 

They were in Seattle a week ago, I had a ticket, and had to bail last minute b/c my dog unexpectedly had to have minor surgery that morning. Bummed I missed 'em, but I love my dog soooo

 

I think they are coming back through fairly soon. It's early October I wanna say.

Edit: I was thinking The Menzingers, not The Flats. Carry on.

 

Chris has a guest spot on the new Comeback Kid album.. Pretty cool

 

The Flatliners Take 'The Great Awake' on 10th Anniversary Tour

 

Really hope they do some US shows for that album. Or at least play it in full at Fest

I can't say it's better than Cavalcade but it's pretty damn close and was my introduction to them
