There are some pretty heinous singers in this genre. Adam doesn’t have a good voice but he’s not the worst lol
Hot take I love all their albums and they’re all 10/10 in my eyes. Spin is their best front to back. IWCHYRM was a great follow up and the songs they’ve released since are all great. Live they’re incredible too and the energy is unmatched. TLDR love this band and hope they keep doing what they’re doing.
Yeah I get not liking Adam honestly, that was a steep adjustment coming around to the songs he leads. Fantastic songwriter no doubt but I won't knock anyone for not liking his voice. I have a lot of nostalgia for pizza album, but I'm usually reaching for the two newer ones these days.
I prefer Pizza and Charmer over the later stuff, wouldn’t be mad if Brianna was singing more on those albums though
I like all phases of the band and I really don't know the specific singers but I miss the raw emotionality of them, just a sucker for that desperation guttural singing, and that's what I feel like separated them as a band. Last few albums I can pick 2-3 songs that stand out and the rest are kind of just there.
The discussion made me want to revisit Spin. Forgot how good the album is but Charmer might edge it out still for me
Charmer Two Worlds Tigers Jaw/Spin I Won’t Care How You Remember Me Haven’t listened to Belongs to the Dead enough to rank
