The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 56

Also I thought Sister Cities was sick but it was mastered like a Christopher Nolan film. We Look Like Lightning is one of my favorite TWY songs

 

Echoing the same sentiment of most on here in that I think this is their best on the first few listens since TGG. Immediate favourites are Songs About Death, Low Tide and Laura & the Beehive.

Also really looking forward to some of these songs getting the Burst & Decay treatment one day.

 

What are some other bands that have only 1 guitar? Green Day and Blink 182 are the obvious ones

 

Counter-point: Coheed and Cambria have 2 guitarists and I can’t imagine any other way

 

have you heard of the band nirvana

 

The “I don’t like me” part of Doors is very Julien Baker

 

Deftones, AFI, and The Fall of Troy come to mind.

 

I deserve this

 

Did not realize Deftones was

 

Technically Stef is the only guitarist, Chino plays a good bit these days I think though.

 

I'm just happy that we are reliving the old AP.net days when these guys were the undisputed kings of the message board and they're top of the charts.

 

Now to descend into some petty and pointless drama and speculate when Fall Out Boy will reunite

 

I think Sister Cities has grown to be my favorite of theirs. Greatest Generation has been a very very close second, but is held their mostly by nostalgia for time it came out.

This will probably end up as first or second with time. Absolutely loving it.

 

Got my first listen in way later than normal due to having a job interview and wanting to be in the right headspace. I don't think I can rank this band's records, they all mean so much to me ( okay maybe not GSOI!). The best praise I can give this record is that fits perfectly into this pantheon they have created and I can already see how it will be the soundtrack to so much of my life. So happy to hear the band invigorated, confident, and sounding so clear and crisp on the recording. I love this album - I laughed, cried, jumped around like a madman. It's a new Wonder Years record and that's just one of the best damn things.

 

Dan should be really proud of his performance on this, he sounds incredible and there are some flat out jaw dropping and stunning moments

 

this is incredible with a minimum of five absolute gut punches.

 

Listened to this a few times now. I know a lot of people think that TWY peaked with TGG, but I've always thought that they've gotten better with each successive album, to the point where the new album is always the only one I want to listen to after release. Their last three albums have all spent a significant amount of time as the most important album of a particular moment in my life. I think the first streak ends here - I already would put this over TGG, I think, and I could see it topping NCTH pretty soon, but I don't think anything can top what Sister Cities meant to me after it came up. But I'm convinced that the second streak will continue on for another album. This is 100% going to be the soundtrack for my newest life change. Just another phenomenal record and I shouldn't have been worried when some of the singles didn't hit me as much as I hoped

 

Does Tom still not wanna be there?

 

So I've listened to this like 4 times and I'm really not getting the emotional connection that many of you are. I'm a father of 4, so that's definitely not the issue, maybe I'm just really bad and dumb and understanding the lyrics in general idk.

I still really like this and plan to listen a ton more just jealous I guess

 

A wise and ancient philosopher once said... "Tom. Is. Out"

 

When the bridge hits in cardinals 2 i want to throw something or someone through a window

 

I’m not much of a fan of this band, but I’ll check this out based on the reactions so far.

 

"No matter how often it plays in my head I can't LIFT IT UPPPPP"

I want that injected right into my veins

 

This is definitely hitting me the hardest since TGG. Having a six year old daughter and losing my grandma this year is having most of these songs hit extremely hard. Laura and the Beehive had me a wreck from the first listen. The production is also top notch compared to the previous two albums.

Probably the most I’ve immediately clicked with an album since Brave Faces Everyone. I’m hoping they do big tour in the winter/early spring and play most of this live.

 

Laura & the Beehive might be one of my favorite choruses of the year - the lullaby melody mirrors the lyrics so we’ll, and the ascending scale emotionally brings me to think of the path to “heaven”
