The Story So Far - Proper Dose (September 21st, 2018) Album • Page 63

Not really into this. Pretty standard song from them.

 

I dig it, feels like the album will flow nice. I also wasn't super into the proper dose singles and then that album blew me away

 

Song is fine. Don’t love it/don’t hate it

 

Oh yea, big blind has different production too.

 

Like this one a lot more than Big Blind, though I dig it's new production. Dude wants to be Liam Gallagher so bad, but well know Noel is the better Gallagher.

 

Created a new thread for the album - The Story So Far - I Want To Disappear (June 21, 2024) • forum.chorus.fm

 

The video is literally Wonderwall haha. Parker still going for that Liam Gallagher vibe.

Overall I dig the song more than Big Blind but it still seems to be missing the flourishes that made the last album so good.

I'll be interested in seeing if there's a song on here as big as Upside Down.

 

In for this! I dig the new song and like it more than Big Blind at the moment, ha.

 

Just listened to the new version of big blind...nooooooooo

 

I like it but just like the remixed Out Of It - it lacks some of the punch of the original. Bummer.

 

I’m digging Letterman.

 

Especially the outro, this recording really dampened it

 

Where are you guys hearing the new version of Big Blind? I don’t see the album up on Apple Music yet

 

part of the single with Letterman

 

For whatever reason, I don’t see that up yet either lol

 

have you never seen them live? they just stand there in place, parker walks around, its uneventful lol

the crowd is more fun to watch at their shows

 

First two songs are meh

 

I saw them at a festival in 2019 and it was fun, they sounded great and the crowd was rowdy not sure what more you could want yeah they don’t run around on stage and do anything crazy but they’re right and the energy is fine the crowd more than makes up for it

 

New songs are good. Letterman brought me back to Big Blind which was initially very unremarkable to me.

 

I ended up listening to Letterman all weekend. The bridge is so good

 

The song is a fast grower.

 

been replaying letterman and big blind all weekend

 

I know a dedicated thread for this band might not be the best place to ask, but.... is Proper Dose seen as a big step up for this band by the fanbase?

I have honestly never really cared for this band aside from low level enjoyment, to me they kinda epitomize why this era of pop punk doesn't hit as much as the era before it, less diversity, les memorable, less hooky, less specific voices... anyway I am getting away from myself.

Just ran through all their albums again and still mostly feel this way about all their albums except Proper Dose, which kinda surprised me as I didn't remember if I previously had liked this album. Feels to me like they finally took chances and expanded their sound.

What's the vibe, what do you all think, should I gtfo?

 

It’s widely accepted as their best record and their breakthrough from a maturity (lol) and cohesiveness perspective, from what i understand.
