Currently seeing them live in a food hall for free in the middle of the afternoon with 500 other people. Pretty wild.
just got myself and my brother tickets for their Australia show next year - hell yes first and likely last time seeing them too!
Sitting on my back deck listening to this album with a glass of whiskey while fireworks go off all around me is literally the most perfect thing I've ever experienced - although..literally as I typed that the next door neighbors just lit something off that scared me so fucking much that I'm literally shaking right now, oh god, fireworks are the worst, I rescind everything I just said
i wish i liked this more. the additional voices are fantastic, i just wish the band chose to do it on songs that were less sleepy. this feels like the first inessential album they’ve had since the debut, which is a huge bummer
Honestly i think it has the highest number of songs that are in their top 20 songs out of all their albums, but it also has like 6 that i’d take off of here i think and for that reason alone i don’t think it cracks my top 3 records.
it has 2 of my top 20. Cherry Tree - 1 Alligator - 3 Boxer - 4 High Violet - 2 Trouble Will Find Me - 5 Sleep Well Beast - 3 I Am Easy to Find - 2
It has zero for me right now. I don't feel inclined to return to this really at all. Hope my feelings change later in the year though.

This was my 10th show; I'm rail, middle... right in front of Matt. He jumped over me during Mr. November. You can't see-see me, but he leans over first and we shared the mic. Almost full circle. Shared wine with him at the Roy Wilkins show a few years back. Also had front row at EAUX CLAIRES 2015. Can't wait for show 11 in Portland next month.
I pretty much still play it in full... daily. I love it more than TWFM/HV (which both may have higher highs, but I most of the slow songs on Trouble are a bit boring for me - can't stand England anymore after two tours post-HV) this soon already. Honestly wish some of those B-Sides/random tracks were on High Violet/TWFM ala Exile/Vilify, You Were A Kindness, and Think You Can Wait, Sin-Eaters.
