The Wonder Years Band • Page 8

yeah i get that. for me i think i was bored of that style of music before it dropped. i loved it initially but soured super fast. it's the same style of music as suburbia but with none of the emotional impact that suburbia had for me. i thought ncth was just really bad.

 

yeah NCTH was not good. not because it was aggressively bad, mostly because of the context around it. just an uninteresting record

 

There were some good songs on it but for the most part yeah just a boring record. Felt pretty rushed imo

 

imo "Teenage Parents" and "Cul-de-Sac" are as emotionally powerful as "And Now I'm Nothing" and more than any other song on Suburbia

 

Some days cul de sac is my favorite wonder years song

 

NCTH gave us cigarettes and saints though

 

I love every one of their CDs.

 

C&S isn't that good IMO

 

yeah i don't care for that song much really

 

me neither, it feels... overthought. idk

 

just like most of NCTH

 

Cigarettes and Saints is one of their best songs, one of the few songs on NCTH I like a lot

 

Lol wait they're actually good/not generic now?

 

Cigarettes & Saints is phenomenal. Top 5 TWY song.

 

No Closer to Heaven is what finally got me into this band.

 

Don't know if I'd say good, but it's promising. I liked some parts of this album after hating the first two

 

Yeah I agree with that, maybe their best. I think their top five songs are probably:

And Now I'm Nothing
There, There
The Devil in My Bloodstream
Chaser
Cigarettes and Saints

I really never listen to any of their material anymore though. They just don't have any albums that I can listen to front to back, and two years ago I'd have been shocked if someone told me that.

 

I can't even begin to come up with a top 5, but I Won't Say The Lords Prayer is my favorite song by them and it's not even close. C&S is definitely top 5, too.

 

Huh, that's never been among my favorites and especially now the middle section of Suburbia runs together so much

 

And Now I'm Nothing
Hoodie Weather
Teenage Parents
Cul-de-Sac
Funeral

 

There, There
Me vs The Highway
And Now I'm Nothing
Hoodie Weather
Devil in My Bloodstream

I'll be forever disappointed that NCTH wasn't full of songs in the vein of There, There. Thought for sure that they'd move more in that direction.

 

Backed completely. Was so hype about their potential progression

 

It sounds like they knew they were at a crossroads and actively decided not to progress. Probably not what happened, but that's the vibe of the record

 

Me Vs The Highway
Cigarettes & Saints
And Now I'm Nothing
There, There
The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves

 

There There
Hoodie Weather
Came Out Swinging
Devil In My Bloodstream
A Raindance in Traffic or We Could Die Like This
