    Got my vinyl earlier today. Giving it a spin now. This thing is incredible, and quite a marked improvement over the first (which was also very good.)

  4. This is so much better than the first one. This version of Hoodie Weather is stunning. Also Cul-De-Sac is still one of if not the best Wonder Years song

    Really enjoying this. My favorite so far is It Must Get Lonely, but that’s easily a top 5 TWY song for me so that’s not surprising. Hopefully they keep making these. I did a discog run recently and there’s a lot of songs I would love hear reworked.. bar bands, now I’m nothing, thanks for the ride, bastards, don’t open the fridge (or really anything from the old splits/eps). Excited to see them in a couple weeks.

    Couldn't have asked for a better list of songs to choose - Cul-de-Sac, Hoodie Weather, It Must Get Lonely, WSP all in my top 10 - but I don't love the whole format in general. Not complaining as no harm in having a few different versions, but not something I'll listen to a lot. In a way I wish they were a bit more experimental, reworking some lyrics etc, a bit more like with Logan Circle: A New Hope

    Feel like people here didn't vibe with Hoodie Weather much but that song has always slapped.

    Starting my day listening to this and it's great. Hoodie Weather is probably my favorite on here, but WSP and Cul-de-sac aren't far behind.

    I think people vibed hard with Hoodie Weather when it came out (and even before that the forum was buzzing about the track title) but as they started to release more music and it started getting dropped from the setlists it kind of fell by the wayside a little bit.

    I haven't revisited Sister Cities since it came out. Listened again recently as I'm seeing them in a week or two and still found it borderline unlistenable.

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I can’t imagine calling Sister Cities borderline unlistenable lol

    NCTH was just a significantly better version of everything on Sister Cities.

    To me, I think Sister Cities is a better version of NCTH

    I'm not the biggest fan of either, but this is an absolute wild take.
     
  15. Loving this whole EP, but these versions of “Cul-De-Sac” and “Hoodie Weather” are especially wonderful.

    Digging this Burst & Decay EP more than the first, probably just because I like the tracks they picked more.

    I think this band does penultimate tracks incredibly well. WSP, Hoodie Weather, Cul De Sacs, Palm Reader, and The Orange Grove are all top tier and it’s nice to have 4 of those songs reinterpreted as acoustic songs. The acoustic version of Palm Reader that came on the NCTH deluxe is underrated.

    think I’ll end up liking this more than the first B&D but they’re both phenomenal and show how diverse the band can be

    That version of Palm Reader is way better than the electric one imo. Love them both but the acoustic version blows me away.

    this has several of my absolute favorite TWY tracks on it, it rules so much. It must get lonely into culdesac are you fucking kidding me

    They killed it with this one. It Must Get Lonely, Cul-de-sac, and Hoodie Weather were already three of my favorite TWY songs and these versions take them to the next level. Also makes me realize I’ve been butchering some lyrics for years.

    On a side note I really wish they acknowledged Logan circle: a new hope on this tour. It almost feels like the first Burst & Decay song, or at least like it laid some ground work for it. I’m dying to see the setlist but I also kind of want to hold out since my date is only 10Ish days in

    I feel like they'll never play it again, I would kill for it though
