If your light goes out’s chorus is a tad bit annoying and it’s my least favorite on here but that’s not saying much lol
I wasn't entirely sold on High Forever until I listened with headphones this morning. The production on these songs is made to be listened to way too loud with good headphones.
I'm a fairly new fan of these guys, so this weekend I did a full discography listen. There wasn't much pre-American Candy that interested me. But hot damn, this AC-LLL-YAO-XOXO album run is fantastic. Cool to see a band find their footing this deep in their career. Think I'm ranking them as: Lovely Little Lonely XOXO American Candy You Are OK Pioneer Black & White Can't Stop Won't Stop Forever Halloween
That's pretty close to mine I think but i def need to listen more. LLL XOXO American Candy Pioneer You Are Ok Cant Stop B&W FH What a killer discography.
This is always hard for me, but my ranking changes a lot. Pioneer American Candy XOXO LLL YAO Forever Halloween Can’t Stop Black & White
You Are Ok Lovely Little Lonely Can't Stop, Won't Stop XOXO: From Love & Anxiety In Real Time Black & White American Candy Pioneer Forever Halloween
This is why It was on repeat all day long on Friday. My dad got me some sick Bose headphones for my bday in 2019 just because he knows that when I listen to an album for the first time, I has to be with headphones. So he got me the best ones possible when he worked for Bose.
You Are OK American Candy Lovely Little Lonely XOXO Not into anything they've put out prior, but I love all four of these records. XOXO may climb.
I actually got to GO TO the livestream last night, they only allowed 30 people who went to their popup shop to come in person. It was fucking unreal, their energy was great and the backdrop of the skyline was immaculate. Played a terrific setlist too. Unforgettable show. If anyone watches it, I was the only person there in a white longsleeve lmao
The livestream last night was awesome. They played a short "making of " for XOXO before and it was cool to see how stoked they were making the record. Say what you want about the record, but you can tell they put a ton of work into it and they really broke out of their comfort zone. Also, Pretender goes off live
XOXO made them pass 2,000 scrobbles on my last.fm. Love these guys so, so, so, so much. I still almost get overwhelmed sometimes by all the feelings I have associated with their songs. Especially LLL. One of my favourite albums ever. It will always remind me of the best holiday I ever had. Here's to many more years set to the music of The Maine! LLL American Candy Black & White You Are OK Forever Halloween Pioneer Can't Stop, Won't Stop (have actually never really listened to this one) I don't know where to put XOXO yet, so I'll just skip it for now.
From memory and not in order April 7th - Opened with this Run Another Night on Mars - Closer Am I pretty Misery Black Butterflies Bad Behavior The Sound of Reverie Pretender Lips Sticky - 2nd to last Anxiety in Real Time Slip the noose
I just would've preferred a better line than "Lips do more than just kiss" to close out the chorus, haha. The song is fun enough and catchy enough though, so i can look past it.
