The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 157

I will check it out after this Posture & The Grizzly album. The guitarist in The Hotelier was wearing their shirt last night and @cwhit recommended it so I figured I'd give them a listen.

 

kyle fuck listen to the weakerthans first goddamnit

 

Lolll I'm playing years of catch up!!! Which is the most essential/best album?

 

Left & Leaving

 

i know people will say either left & leaving or reconstruction site so i'll leave it at that, left & leaving is more punky/emo while reconstruction site is more alt-countryish, i much prefer reconstruction site but aside is like the most influential single song to this scene rn

 

also if you haven't listened to dismemberment plan.
gonna try so hard in this thread

 

Yes Emergency & I is a masterpiece I'm with Casey on this everyone listen to those albums if you like this album even a little bit

 

I haven't so I might as well write that down too lol

 

Even Reunion Tour is great. There's no wrong answer here. Virtute the Cat makes me cry.

 

ppl have talked a lot about Left & Leaving so that's on my "list of things to check out eventually" that i very slowly move through.

really excited to see The Hotelier tomorrow!! it's been too long, and also too long since i've been to Bottom Of The Hill. my fav venue in SF

 

This album is so good. Not as good as Home, but few things are.

Was listening to this on the tube yesterday and an old couple sat next to me and I suddenly realised I could not touch my phone in case they saw the artwork haha. Immediately changed it when I got home to the censored iTunes artwork.

 

I'll be downstairs seeing a friend's show. Had no idea they were playing the same venue the same night until recently. Still thinking about going if there are tickets left.

 

Dope! There's still plenty of tickets left if you plan to

 

Well shit. Sounds like $15 + $xx for drinks more than I was thinking I'd spend, haha

 

The Weakerthans is among the best bands in this scene and L&L is the second best album this genre/scene has ever produced

 

Wrote 4,000 words in a lyrical analysis of this, didn't even discuss my favorite line. Oops. Also basically just used it as an excuse to talk about pieces of literature I like a lot but whatever. Coming tomorrow morning

 

whats your favorite line? hell, whats everyones favorite line?

 

"It's new, but I don't know what to do
with the sight of you brimming."

Fittingly also the final lyrics on the album

 

carved your name across the sky in a fit of exiting

 

my favorite is "I don't know what I want, what i want's where I've been."

I just couldn't fit the line into the narrative of my review at all

 

If we're talking lyrics, I'm all for the simplest option: "sustain."

 

Also seeing them tonight! Why did Told Slant drop off?

 

I don't think I have a favourite line yet.

 

The things you grow are set to die

You cling to them with knuckles white

So wind me up, to clear the floor

And I don’t know if I know love no more

 

Can't wait to read your write up
