The Story So Far - Proper Dose (September 21st, 2018) Album • Page 31

I don’t really hear Tom but the drums on “Let It Go” hardcoreeee reminded me of Travis’s work on the untitled Blink-182 record.

 

Perfect response. Like stylistically Proper Dose and TGG might not sound that similar (as TWY and TSSF live on other ends of the "pop-punk" spectrum), but the jump in quality and maturity are the same. Proper Dose raises the bar for TSSF just as much as TGG did for TWY back in 2013.

 

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll check them out. I'll be honest I've never been a huge The Wonder Years fan which is blasphemy round Chorus but I'll check out the album and report back.

 

I hated them until the TGG album. I also hated TSSF up until this new one. Soooo yeah. Ha

 

He was talking about Posture & the Grizzly,no TSSF

 

This album is awesome.

 

Will we be getting a review?

 

Ahhhh jk then

 

Finally received the limited edition vinyl!

 

sick! can you do a pic of just the D side print?

 

Yup! Got mine yesterday too. It was glorious.

 

I'm surprised this hasn't been reviewed yet by the site. Album has been out a month.

 

I don't think the most of the staff here are fans of this band.

 

It’s understandable. Also considering their questionable past I wouldn’t be 100% ok giving them the platform either. I admittededly love this band though.

 

Exactly how I feel. It took me some time to actually like the band too because I grew up in the same town in the same time as them and would hear stories of douchebaggery (that's not a word orrrrr is it?) but about two years ago it all clicked and now I love it. This record is easily my favorite of theirs too.

 

Debauchery? Degeneracy? Douchebaggery is slang but still utilized and gets the point across tho lol

 

I thought Drew liked the new record. Every other album by them has been reviewed on here....?

 

I think there was a movement to cover all of the Pure Noise and PN adjacent bands less by the site, after JJR and other dramas took place.
To which, yeah go off.

 

JJR?

 

John James Ryan. Once big in the TWY camp, but then publicly defended a known rapist/abuser
