the new album feels so much like a direct reaction to APC Ten rock rippers in 38 mins It’s great if not a little one note
Titus Andronicus' Patrick Stickles Ranks All of the Band's Records I understand his reasoning and all but still this is WACK
i am alright with TMLT being at the top tho personally. maybe not how i'd do it but it's not crazy to me.
Airing of Grievances and A Productive Cough are the 2 I go back to the least Haven't heard Obelisk yet but have high hopes Monitor, Local Business, and TMLT are all great. TMLT is very very underrated in my mind
1. The Monitor 2. The Most Lamentable Tragedy 3. The Airing of Grievances 4. Local Business 5. A Productive Cough They have such an odd output in terms of chronology and quality. Usually bands trend one way or another. TA is all over the map. Nothing bad per se, though APC is extremely forgettable.
I honestly feel bad that he feels that way about The Monitor. People hold it up as this perfect album (myself included) and all he can see are the “flaws”.
A little frustrating that he was only asked to defend Rolling Stone cause there’s 3-4 less defensible songs on that album
Mine is almost exact opposite of his 1. Monitor 2. Local Business 3. A Productive Cough 4. Airing of Grievances 5. Lamentable Tragedy
