The Hold Steady - Open Door Policy (February 19, 2021) • Page 7

I've gone from absolutely hating the WOOS to loving them. Mostly I think of how fun it's gonna be to be blitzed at one of their shows and do them.

I still think Thrashing is a catchier record since their return, but I think this is a better album. Much closer to CF's solo stuff, which I'm a big fan of.

 

VANILLA VODKA AND A DIET DR PEPPER

 

I just got around to listening to this. It’s cool. Just like every record since Stay Positive, it’s got a handful of really good songs, and everything else is at least fine. I would absolutely love “unpleasant breakfast” if it wasn’t for those stupid woo’s

 

Love the woos. Big pro-woo guy here.

 

sing it, sister!!! Strong agree

 

didnt think of all the possible things what would end up dividing this site it would be the woos

#TeamWoo

 

Does anyone have their studio version of Hey Hey What Can I Do in mp3??

The version I have sounds awful

Thanks.....

 

I am still loving this album

 

This is a good album, but I don't like it as much as Thrashing Thru. I know some had trouble giving that album an accurate review because half the songs were not NEW when it came out..........which I get......but I just think that one is stronger and more FUN. But this is solid for sure and I'm glad to have it.

The Prior Procedure stands out for me, love that guitar solo, it rips. Also like Family Farm and Heavy Covenant.

 

Yep, sounds like sirens, that is my exact complaint. I like WOOS in general, I just don't like THESE woos, for that reason.

 

this album still rules and the WOOs are still great

 

I’ve come around on the woos for sure. Lanyards and Parade Days are big repeaters for me.

 

I'm in the minority but this album, while good, is not anywhere near Thrashing Thru the Passion for me. It's solid though.

 

i keep forgetting to listen

 

Had this on in the car earlier, wife had never heard it before.

She fucking hates the woos

 

divorce

 

fun album

 

I can’t believe they left “Parade Days” off the main release. What a damn jam.

 

apparently 'Spices' is my most listened to song of the year so far hah
