The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 178

yeah, they're a great little band

really looking fwd to listening where they go next (hopefully not in three years)

 

Favorite songs ranked:

1) Soft Animal (second favorite Hotelier song ever behind Among The Wildflowers)
2) Two Deliverances
3) Opening Mail
4) Piano Player
5) Goodness Part 2
6) End of Reel
7) You In This Light
8) Sun
9) Settle The Scar
10) Fear of Good


SPOILER: they're all good and this ranking means nothing

 

huh, that's cool, I really like that

 

end of reel too low goodbye

 

I think that is a fair ranking for end of reel. it's an incredible closer but it feels too much like a closer to stand alone

 

This ranking means nothing!!! It'll probably change tomorrow.

Also weirdly when I listen to this on vinyl, the sound differences and warmth make that list change a lot too. What I'm saying is this record is basically perfect imo.

 

end of reel really rivals dendron for amazing closing song

I guess. This album's all a lot closer together than Home is for me though. Home's a lot easier to rank.

 

Soft Animal is the only song that does nothing for me

 

whaaaT???!


MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE, MAKE ME FEEL LIKE ALL MY SELVES ALIGN

 

I'm just weird like that

 

still patiently waiting for my pre-order to even ship............

 

is Tiny Engines JUST Will and Chuck? or are there other members of the label/team? can't imagine they'd have a huge crew, in any case. shipping out this large album pressing must be seriously taxing

 

pretty much them, they may have some volunteers/interns/maybe a couple other people who help but basically, yeah

 

I've said this a couple of times in the past couple of days but I'll say it one last time: End of Reel is one of the best songs I've ever heard

 

undoubtedly, it wasnt until i read the lyrics today that i was just like....whoa

 

Yeah probably my favorites he's written, and he's my favorite songwriter haha. Unreal

 

the natural heir to geoff rickly's throne, lol

 

They need the popularity of Thursday now... They deserve it

 

yeah i ranked End of Reel as second-tier and looking at that now it felt wrong. Settle the Scar used to be my absolute favorite too. it's just going to change all the time with this album

 

Settle the scar was my favorite hotelier song at one point. Idk what happened. the new version still doesn't feel real.

Title track is probs my favorite song overall now. It was Intro forever but I played it so many times the connection started to fade.

 

Title Track is really underrated IMO

I think I like it more than Dendron

 

feel free to rank INGO and closers with me

Weathered, Lonely Hearts Club, Title Track, Still-Water Spectacle
Vacancy, Nite Ratz, I'm Gone
Sad Boring Movie, Holiday

End of Reel > Dendron = Title Track

 

Honestly probably my favorite song of theirs period.
