I know I've told the story here before but why not tell it again... My grandmother was dying when I saw them on 4/21/2017 on this album cycle. It was four months of decline and really difficult to watch. I lost it at that show knowing I saw her for the last time on 4/12. She died on 4/22. I actually could not bring myself to see TA again until last year on my grandmother's birthday. Just days after my other grandmother died. Cathartic would be an understatement. So this will be a very tough show for me considering the timeframe and I'll be a total mess but it'll be important for me to feel it.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope you feel a positive catharsis again seeing the album in full This album makes me think of my dad who passed suddenly in 2016. The feeling of loss, regret, and grief throughout the album hits me in my bones. It's going to be such a wild night. Legit might pack tissues.
Absolutley going to bring some tissues or a bandana. It's going to be such a rough night. You summed it up perfectly what this album does to me.
Yeah I thought you might hahahah Had to miss their Spiral tour Dublin date last year but Outbreak Fest 26 gives me hope they'll come back!
I’ve really fallen for this band in the last year or so and seen them 3 times. That said - I really only know their material Stage Four and after. I’m long overdue to listen to the first handful of records.
You've heard their best stuff by now but Is Survived By and Parting the Sea remain incredible. As for the debut, make sure you listen to Dead Horse X. Leaves the OG in the dust.
Entire discography is awesome, but the early stuff is truly something special. Dead Horse was a great album but I feel their best was definitely PTSBBAM.....such a classic. Enjoy listening to them!
I seriously can't think of a *more* perfect way to open an album with I'M PARTING THE SEA BETWEEN BRIGHTNESS AND ME BEFORE I DROWN MYSELF AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING to them closing the album with FOR WHAT ITS WORTH IM SORRY AND AT THE END I SWEAR IM TRYING. Perfect, perfect opening and closing words that fully encompass what a journey the album takes you on.
They're the only band that as an adult gives me the same feeling bands like Thursday and AFI did when I was a teenager, that "not alone" feeling. It's everything from the musicality, the specific type of hardcore with those angular riffs and driving rhythm, and Jeremy writes so specifically that it's immediately universal. And yeah, all these years later I still feel like I'm working towards this for better for worse, but the songs make me feel like I'm getting ever closer.
I think an important part is the relatability between listeners and Jeremy. I'm 39 and he's only three years older at 42 and a lot of the users in here I'd assume are in the same range, so in a sense we feel like, HES JUST LIKE US. Which he is, and him and his music are the perfect outlet for us to relate to and resonate with. He's also got a podcast and he's super chill!
Yep.youre only two years older than me and i love the pod and sub to his Patreon just cause I want to support however I can. He's a genuine sweetheart, a friend of mine used to TM for them and vouches they're all gems
