The Grey has my favorite riff of theirs since Fire Edit: I forgot about Yellow Belly but The Grey still rips
Well if nothing else, "A Branch In The River" to "Beyond The Pines" would be a jarring yet clear indicator of the album's diversity early on haha.
Do any of you know how alphabetizing by title works? The tracklisting would actually be pretty cool/interesting: Beyond the Pines Blood On Blood A Branch In the River The Dark Everything Belongs The Grey Hold Up a Light Just Breathe Only Us My Soul
Everyone should be able to agree the lyrics here are much better than TBEITBN. The lyrics to "Blood on Blood" so good
At least so far, I’d disagree. I loved the directness of Dustin’s lyrics on songs like Blood on the Sand and Death from Above
I can understand that, but I don't think there's anything here that's hard to decipher, I find it pretty direct just more eloquently put.
I can't help but think people are underrating Riley's drumming on this record already. It's a little lower in the mix compared to Everywhere but no less fantastic. Just listen to him on Beyond The Pines, heavenly.
there are going to be so many cell phone flashlight apps waving in the air for "Hold Up a Light" if they ever play it live
The first thing I noticed on the drums is how they focused on getting a big kick drum to accentuate the grooves
The comments on in exile (fb community group, one I even respected) are scary. Fans really hating this album.
It’s more digs at the production.. Which I was iffy on my first listen and now I’m sort of obsessed with it
I've recorded in three of the world's finest studios with Grammy-winning producers in charge of each, and I'm perfectly fine with the production. Also: The Internet knows nothing about production.
