The Weakerthans Band • Page 4

I fell asleep and woke up long enough to type that above but ya, last night was magical listening to possibly the best indie rock album of the 2000s with my favorite people

 

How can it be the best if it's not even their best record tho????

 

It's easily their best record Casey shut it

 

hello internet help me shut this loser down
reconstruction site > Left and Leaving

 

Left & Leaving>>>Everything else

 

Left and Leaving > Reconstruction Site.

 

Rs is my least favorite Weakerthans tbh

 

I'm with Casey here. But Reunion Tour is better than both of them.

 

I've never seen that opinion before. Huh. It's underrated as hell tho

 

where the fuck were you last night you knob

 

I was eating bad Chinese and playing bad video games

 

sounds like u r bad

 

It's ok I channeled our twin powers and typed what Zac would've typed

 

I think they're both masterpieces, but Reunion Tour has a bit of an edge for me because I think it's a little tighter thematically, and it has "Sun In An Empty Room," which is my favorite Weakerthans song.

 

Fallow >

 

Sun is a great song. RT has the best opening/closing combo on any Weakerthans album too, pretty easily

I am bad, can confirm

 

Burton Cummings Theatre > Little Pictures > All

 

Hey Zac, might I offer up "Phantom Power". I think it's my favourite and what I feel is a really great represenation of all of their sounds. Contains classics like "Poets", "Fireworks" and all-timer "Bobcaygeon".

"Road Apples" and "Fully Completely" are essentially greatest hits albums as they contain so many popular songs, but it's very much The Hip doing their straight-up rock n' roll schtick (which is also great, don't get me wrong). PP has an awesome mix of that and their other sounds. Also, it's Johns favourite too haha.

I'd also like to agree with the others and say that "Yer Favourites", the greatets hits, is very in-depth and comprehensive, another good place to start.

 

Awesome, thanks! I don't really like starting with greatest hits to be completely honest, so I'll go for this one. Having a good mix is oretty ideal for starting off. Especially if it comes with two seals of approval haha!

 

Totally, and I think you'll definitely find something to enjoy on this one, happy listening!

 

On this team. There's more poetic imagery and more variety.

 

Coulda told you awhile ago you'd like this! You seem to like very candid and earnest music and the Weakerthans are that x1000 1UP high score

 

Well then, why didn't you??!

Actually, tbh I've always had a feeling this would be a band I'd really like if I gave an honest listen to. Just took a while for that to happen. I need to listen to their other stuff soon.

 

+1, with Night Windows being the favourite off of it for me.

 

This forum's lack of a Tragically Hip thread upsets me. This place is kind of like the adopted Hip thread...

Whole country shut down to watch their last concert tonight. The end of Grace, Too killed me.
