The Republic of Wolves - Why Would Anyone Want to Live this Long (December 12, 2023) • Page 2

The opening track always scares me in a good way lol. Loving the sonic range across the entire album though

 

Had absolutely no idea this was coming out until just moments ago when I saw it on the release list for Friday. So excited, love this band.

 

The part in Veer where they sing “It can’t be real, it can’t be real…” sounds like mewithoutYou, both in lyric and melody

 

last 3 songs on this are *chefs kiss*

 

I wonder if they’re going to have a vinyl release for this, need it

 

Would love some new merch too!

 

Glad they added the lyrics to bandcamp, Reedcutter hits so hard knowing the lyrics and it’s just a beautiful track in its own right musically.

 

They responded to someone on Instagram saying they’d be looking into vinyl next year

 

I listened to TROW the whole flight yesterday. Forgot how much I like all the albums. All so different.

The his old branches redux is very awesome

 

For some reason this just isn't grabbing me the way their other stuff has and its bumming me out

 

Nvm, it finally clicked

 

almost 2 weeks and it still hasnt clicked with me. I dont know, it never took any of their releases this long to really click. Nothing is really bringing me back to this album.

 

I can hear bits and pieces of all their previous work in this but it still feels like a fresh take, but to each their own I guess.

 

Have they posted any kind of behind the scenes stuff anywhere? I saw them mention they basically wrote and recorded all of this remotely in different parts of the country and I'd be really interested in hearing them talk more about that process

 

I found it look a long time for the melodies to imprint on my brain, it wasn’t as immediately catchy to me as most of their other stuff, particularly the vocals. TBH if it wasn’t December and a quiet time in the release calendar and life in general I might not ever have given it the time it needed to hit me, but I’m glad I did

 

Pretty wild that two of my favorite albums from this year both start with “Why Would”

 

Counting Crows cover apparently, I've never heard the original

 

I'm old

 

it rules

 

this doesnt touch the original.

 

I don't see the point of covers that tread very, very close to the original in style and melody. It sounds good, but if I want to listen to this song I'll just kick on the OG.

 

Love this song, great cover to cap off the end of the year

 

listened to this EP again in headphones on a bike ride yesterday and damn, the production is so good.

Really sounds like a band just having fun and finding incredibly cool sounds to play with.

 

They are teasing something on their instagram for the 22nd, going by the little video looks like a vinyl maybe, but it says NTKDR, which doesn’t fit the title of this release.
