Many, many better beer drinking songs by them. Ava House, Sunday Morning, Time Tables etc. I also don’t really care for the lyrics
I recently decided to work out my favourite albums ever and OTIP was top 10 so I'm particularly sensitive
I would rank AVA House towards the bottom half of my non existent OTIP rankings ... however I still like the song.
My top 5 from each of the last three records, because I’m that bored right now: OTIP: Casey, Gates, Burn After Writing, Mexican Guitars, I Can’t Seem to Tell RW: Asshole, Rodent, In Remission, Transient Love, When You Died ATP: Lookers, After the Party, Bad Catholics, Tellin’ Lies, House on Fire Special shot out to No Penance, a song so good, I actually like it more than half of ^ these
No particular order but my top 5 for OTIP would be Burn After Writing, Gates, Sculptors and Vandals, Casey, and Mexican Guitars
I get stupid hype when I get to the bridge of Casey. No matter what I’m doing I’m liable to yell out the “we could live” line
Gates is probably the best song on the record not called burn after writing. Gotta have my favorite lyrics Greg’s ever written
The one from a few years ago with The Pogues and Whiskey in the Jar covers? I enjoyed that myself, but I’ll be damned if their covers are my favorite songs haha. Good shoutout though!
I love each of their last four albums and still come back to them all of the time, but OTIP and ATP are significantly ahead of CW and RW. Part of that is personal because they're both connected to certain times in my life. But they also are just stacked front to back with top tier songs. OTIP > ATP >>> RW > CW
Gates Good Things I Can’t Seem to Tell Mexican Guitars The Obituaries Sun Hotel Casey Burn After Reading Ava House Freedom Bridge On the Impossible Past/Nice Things Sculptors and Vandals
Top 3 from OTIP: Casey, @MexicanGuitars and either Gates or Sun Hotel. Top 3 from ATP: Tellin’ Lies, After the Party, Lookers. Top 3 from Rented World: Asshole, In Remission, Nothing Feels Good Anymore.
