Honestly at this stage in life, i listen to his solo records more. Dude has his shit down on those.

Fiestas & Fiascos probably always going to be my favorite album he’s made, but his solo stuff is so good.

 

God In Chicago would make my top 5 if I included solo songs plus THS

 

The last 3 solo records in particular, really great work.

 

I feel like we’re about due for another solo record

 

New Friend Jesus is a great early solo track too.

 

Definitely my favorite on that particular album.

mostly i consider everything from Faith in the Future on an 8/10 or better.

 

Probably my top 5 too and we got all 5 in Seattle last night. Plus a few gems like Charlemagne, Oaks, and Ascension Blues.

 

DC weekend shows coming up! Curious what the set for the small show tomorrow will be

 

Franz Nicolay write a book about how difficult it is to be a working musician these days

The Decline of the Working Musician

Oh sick. Would like to check that out. Seems like a great person to have cover that.

 

I find myself coming back to this a lot. Really strong album. A step below their first four, but I’d put it on the same level as Thrashing.

 

Grand Junction top 10 THS tune for me no doubt. Epic track.

 

Thrashing is better than at least two of those first four THS records

 

I feel a ranking coming on

 

right there with you bro. Adore that album. BY FAR the best of their latter career albums
