Tigers Jaw - spin (May 19, 2017) Album • Page 12

Listening to this makes me exceptionally more excited to see them on Saturday. What a vibrant record.

 

yeah they know how to write a fuckin hoooooook. too many great one liners in here to remember

 

Great thoughts, I really agree with your third point obviously... it's not that there are any bad songs or that it isn't dynamic bc it is, I just know how great they could sound together on slower songs with more space. I honestly think that this record was the one where they reestablish themselves as masters of the genre and the next one they really blow us away

 

Yup, exactly. It needed a slower song with more space, or 2, on here. And I have to agree with that last statement, even though right now after 3 full listens I think this album is absolutely amazing, songs are getting stuck in my head so much and it's not just one track.

 

Fuck I didn't know this was coming.

Well this is awesome

 

Oh yea the hooks are incredible, people need to hear this band bc they will quickly be known as one of the scenes best bands.. and honestly I think I am going to enjoy tigers jaw 2.0 even more than the orIginal lineup

 

tigers jaw 4ever.
happy release day

 

yea! jammed this on the way to work this morning! I really hope this album does well for them, how well do people feel that the label has pushed the record, are they reaching new people?

 

This is so good

I really am glad that Ben & Briana are left. I've always preferred their vocals, and they really shine on this.

 

I mean you can't really ever tell most of the time, unless it's like a truly drastic scene change like TFB to FBR or something.

Unless you're getting radio play or getting on tv or something it's mostly just the organic growth

 

yea I guess so, what are the best ways for new bands to spread these days, Streaming playlists?

 

This is pretty solid. I think I like Charmer more, but I love how hooky this one is.

 

i guess that's right, i don't live in the spotify world but based on how big a deal my sister was making about seeing now, now on the spotify weekly new music playlist i guess so, hah.

 

Yeah I don't use streaming services but it always blows my mind how much my friends rely on those playlists for new music

 

I want to listen to this so bad. I couldn't find a leak so I bought the record from the Warner site and it's only giving me a download to the singles and not the whole album.

 

First listen was disappointing.

 

bummer

 

i think the songs are all really good but i also feel like this blends together quite a bit. they do that one thing very well though.

drum production bothers me a bit though, i hate when drums sound too clicky.

 

That was my issue. Everything just felt like lesser versions of Guardian. Not sure I remember a single song outside of Guardian. But I was also drunk so let's see how I feel later haha

 

Could be overuse of triggers, could be too much direct mic and not enough room mic. I dislike this too.

 

There are some songs that they sound fine and some (guardian is one of them) where It's very much so

 

drums didn't bother me but theres definitely something to say about every song on here being in strict 4/4 time signature. I think a nice 3/4 or 6/8 feel would have been a nice change of pace. I still really love the hooks and I think this will hold up, I feel that there's something to love about every track.

 

Brianna's voice is so good on this

 

Listened a bunch yesterday and all I want is to listen again right away today.

 

This is so great on first listen. I'm really glad I only listened to Guardian and June a few times before this dropped (I didn't check out Escape Plan and now it stands out as one of the best). The album is a little samey, sure, but their most varied album (Charmer) is mostly midtempo, and I remember people complained about a lack of flow to that record
