I agree that this probably isn't as instantly catchy as Home, but I also think it's more consistent. Four listens in, there are really no songs that haven't impressed me in some way.
Modern Baseball and How Emo Grew Up | Pitchfork Big section about "Housebroken" in this piece, regarding that discussion
Also I don't want to read any articles about Drive-Thru that doesn't include a mention of how bands would have to walk on Richard's back in brand new pairs of socks.
Not on purpose, but I only listened to the singles once them totally forgot about them. Really glad it worked out this way, because this is definitely not a singles kind of album!
I wouldn't say the article is "about" modern baseball even if they're the focus. It's a really good piece. Also I respect mobo a lot more than I did before, they've done everything right for this new record and it's really not that bad
I'm a little worried these guys won't have good longevity.. Not trying to be negative but usually when one band member is controlling it alienates the rest of the members.. Just would hate to see this become a on person band, they work really well together as a band..
