The Wonder Years Band • Page 95

Yeah that's definitely the through-line for me as well. Can see how they got to here from there.

 

I tried, turns out shazaaming a phone recording of a vinyl playing doesn't allow you to do it. Surprise, surprise.

 

I'm already exhausted by how divisive this band/album will be, and we literally know nothing about it.

 

Yes we should Kenneth

;)

 

You say that as if "shouty" or "whiny" are the only options...there is a MASSIVE space on the vocal spectrum between those two extremities, and all the band would need to do to win (for me) is reign in the melodrama a little bit to get those vocals somewhere closer to what I would call "natural".

 

but they do that. did you listen to the song? yall are the ones acting like theres no in between when there definitely is.

idk how to even quantify what is or isnt melodrama but i dont hear that in this song or in most of their songs. Dan sounds extremely natural, he literally doesnt have any effects or anything on his vocals in the studio to make them sound as natural as possible.

 

I dig the vocals but I can definitely see how Dan's affect on this track isn't for everyone

 

I think he's better here than he is on most of their songs. His yelling never bothered me anyway but the whiny singing thing does which is why I can't stomach Aaron west. But I think he's fine on this song

 

The only definition of Melodrama anyone needs to know is that it is the sophomore release by New Zealand pop star Lorde.

 

I feel really intelligent because, despite being in a position where I utilize mostly non-math skills, I knew right away that the equation on the 7” was the distance between two points.

PLEASE NO ONE KNOCK ME OFF THIS PEDESTAL.

 

As an engineering major in my last semester (did you see what I did there?!?!?!?!) of college, pretty cool to see the distance formula there.

 

I taught that formula to my ACT students last week and immediately recognized it solely because of that lol

 

The whining about Dan sounding “whiny” is pretty great, tbh

 

So no one ripped a decent version yet?

 

It’d b even tighter if it was The Reynolds number used to calculate my turbulent sad ass throwing myself through a screen door.

 

Fully developed flow, just like my tears about being awkward and nervous?

 

So is criticism automatically whiny now?

 

It is when it's whining

 

*kisses fingers* excellent discourse

 

I mean, I just think it's funny that people are whining about someone allegedly sounding whiny. I didn't call out anyone specifically, just funny to me.

 

I didn't see anyone whining but k

 

When the Soupy man sings and you don’t like it

 

So sick of people whining about people whining about Soupy whining, so now I'm whining about it. Whining.

 

This thread is dead

 

Idk, we got a great song from a great band today, I think the thread is going to be alright.
