The Story So Far - Proper Dose (September 21st, 2018) Album • Page 28

perhaps that's because.... it is

 

My ranking would probably be:

Proper Dose
USAD
WYDS
S/T

Not really a big fan of the self titled as a whole but it does have a few really killer tracks. I still think seeing them play on a skate ramp in someones backyard in Columbus right after USAD came out is one of my favorite shows ever

 

Proper Dose
S/T
UTSD
WYDS

Lol

 

Let it Go is such a spectacular midpoint.

Really liking this more every day

 

I’m jealous, that sounds like an awesome show. I tried so hard to go see them in Chillicothe shortly after USAD came out but couldn’t find anyone that wanted to make the drive.

Edit: Canton, not Chillicothe

 

Proper Dose
WYDS
S/T
USAD

and none of them are really that close to each other

 

the solo -> end of If I Fall is fantastic

Production on this is fantastic

 

I wish I went to that it sounded awesome too but I went to see TBS at HOB that night because it was the first tour with the original band back

 

if you would have told me last friday id be listening to this more than the new joyce manor record i'd smack you in the face

 

Hahaha same here

 

Yup. This is gonna be in rotation for some time.

 

Same boat here people; i have been jamming this thing non-stop since last Friday. Still not exhausted by it yet and still very much in love. I think the last time i was this madly addicted to a "pop-punk" record would've been The Greatest Generation back in 2013???

 

It's the first record in a longgggggggg time where I can listen through fully and not want to skip any track.

 

Really digging this too.

 

Not impressed on first listen.

 

If I dare say it, you might find this album to be growing on you

 

literally me too.

 

also, 34 min runtime? what a gift this thing is.

 

I'm really not into it. I'm seeing them live next wednesday, maybe hearing the songs live will change my mind, but I'm on my 4th listen and everything sounds flat (especially compared to the mixing on their previous records) and feels bland to me.

 

I am still going to stan the S/T hard, and definitely think they would not have been able to make this album if it wasn’t for that one. There’s a lot of the subtle tricks that they use on S/T that certainly carry over to PS (off-beat vocal patterns, time signature changes, harmonies, grooves that are syncopated), and I really hope everyone listens at that album with a fresh set of ears.

 

Also the mixing/production on this is by far the best they’ve had. I still think there’s some editing mistakes though (the first piano note in Upside Down is chopped a bit, vocal entrance in Light Year, etc)

 

I think Heavy Gloom, Nerve and Solo are 10/10 tracks but I don't like anything else on S/T really

 

Agreed. Self-titled feels like the album that should have came between USAD and WYDS.

 

I got to revisit WYDS. Every time I listen to it I find it extremely boring tbh

 

My absolute favorite thing about this band (mostly the drummer) is that you can listen to the song in 2 different ways. Light Year is a perfect example, you can hear it with a straight 4/4 or with a swing depending on which way you interpret it. So cool
