The Front Bottoms - In Sickness & In Flames (August 21, 2020) Album • Page 9

Finishing my first listen and this is their most cohesive album. Exactly what I hoped for from them.

 

I’m going to be listening to this nonstop this weekend

 

I sort of love this more than any thing they’ve done in a while. back on top was alright and I wasn’t really into going grey. but just the sound and style of this whole album I am here for. favorites off the bat of the new ones are jerk and love at first sight.

 

I'm glad they brought back their quirkiness beacause it's something I felt Going Grey was lacking. I don't like it as much as Back On Top but I'm sure it'll grow on me with repeated listens because it's definetly their most dense release yet.

 

I love EVERY track except Jerk. And I honestly don’t know why I don’t like it. Maybe I’m just being a jerk about it

 

I think my top 3 at the moment might be Camouflage, Jerk, and The Truth. But it's so hard because every single so is good. Leaf Pile is floating around there too

 

What a great album. So happy to have this to listen to all fall.

 

I do it like that because that's the way my baby likes it

 

They ditched the poppier vibes of Going Grey and released their most cohesive work. Going to be a great fall album.

 

leaf pile hits so hard

 

leaf pile is like the front bottoms nearly turning into built to spill

this album is fucking incredible. they outdid back on top

 

oh man i just remembered they quote built to spill on back on top ("when my mind is uncertain my body decides!"). promise fulfilled

 

Instantly better than Going Grey. This feels less Fueled By Ramen-y

 

I've decided Camouflage is about kombucha:

Sour but I think I like it
Fruit from the profane communion
Who knew I would even try it?
Now I wear camouflage to blend in

People pretending to like it...

 

this is a really incredible album. been so looking forward to it.

 

The little flourishes really make this album. Stuff like the slight vocoder effect at the end of Love at First Sight. It’s so dense and I can’t wait to spend so much time with it.

 

This is great, a tad too long though.

I didn't love the last 3 songs but maybe I will after another listen or two they seem like growers

 

I feel like the record flows great and doesn’t feel 53 minutes long.

 

Goddamn, I was not expecting a song like leaf pile

 

leaf pile is easily my favorite. The Motorcycle callback kills me.

 

The production on this is pretty wild. Definitely the best they’ve had.

 

I think the truth is my favorite right now.

 

Bus beat is so fucking weird and fun and I bet a lot of people are gonna hate it, haha

 

I actually get a ton of Built to Spill vibes from The Hard Way. I think my favorite track is still Montgomery Forever. Everything Blooms feels like a weird opener, but I'm still here for it.

Favorite tracks besides the singles so far: The Hard Way, Jerk, The Truth and Bus Beat

 

When he says "I want to be" in leaf pile it makes me think of vacation town
