If Chris posted on here regularly with posts similar to his Twitter posts, this would be the best thread on Chorus
Correct. The difference is most the time the blander, more generic, voices were only used as accents or compliments to certain parts of the song. Rarely was it an entire song by them. It was either Thomas, David, Nicole, or Katie featured predominately usually.....and I love all those voices. I do not love whoever's on vocals on Faker and Future, it's about the most boring voices I've ever heard.
Literally why? Like what is redeemable about that track lol. The lyrics are bland. The vocals are a resounding meh. The instruments are about the most straight-forward thing you can get.
It’s a catchy, fun, energetic pop punk song. That’s musically interesting and it gets me really excited about the album. It works in context and immediately got me ready for the rest.
Beverly Wyatt was actually the first thing I ever recorded for the band, aside from demos for WEIE. I believe we recorded Beverly Wyatt in May of 2012, and started tracking WEIE in June. We originally started the song with an atmospheric layer because Self Defense's song was going to transition into ours, which also determined the key of the song. While recording Beverly Wyatt we actually had some long talks about having Dave join the band, since Tom hadn't been around much at all for the writing of WEIE, and didn't come to the initial recording session for Beverly Wyatt. We wrote it at the same time as WEIE tracks. Crows Nest was actually the first song we wrote when I joined the band in 2011.
The guy you're thinking of is Thomas, he left the band for health reasons years and years ago(my biggest regret). Nicole is the one who recently was kicked from the band, she sings You Cant Live There Forever.
Yeah, those tracks are just far better. They have more going on, more interesting lyrics, better vocals imo, etc. The Future just sounds like a self-titled era Mark Hoppus song.
This means nothing when referring to a song that sounds like a mark hoppus b-side. But good one, really drives your point home.
While it wasn't written with that intent musically, I can see that. The vocal layer in the last chorus directly references the best Blink song Man Overboard
to be fair the mark songs are the better songs on untitled. i really do think it'll grow on me haha it's just not a style im accustomed to anymore. i've only heard the album once through, too
I like The Future. Fun short pop punk track. I think it works well in the context and the vocals didn't really bother me.
welcome chris you'll love it here btw did you see the person whose only purpose in this thread is to bash a song they've heard maybe five times
Thanks! I did see the critique. I couldn't be mad at someone for taking the time to list out their thoughts on the album. I will say their interpreted meaning of Fuzz Minor is very wrong. The lyrics really focus on the bigotry, racism, conservative, xenophobic movements within the country. Coincidentally when we wrote the song the election had just happened and all week only saw headlines about protests around the world from it. We all know the events that followed that. This fits within the topics of xenophobia in Marine Tigers.
this sounds like a logical follow up to Harmlessness. who’s that singing on Faker? i’d love more of them.
