Touché Amoré - Stage Four (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 38

sounds solid. the song is great so i'd like to hear it when im listening to the album.

 

I understand removing or changing track lists but I get irrationally angry when people insist on referring to their custom work as the artists album. Like it is by definition *not* the album anymore. It's a playlist.

 

So anyways

This album is fucking great. I wish they were coming here.

 

With the hotelier it's different because they themselves don't acknowledge one particular song and have insisted that we don't acknowledge it as well, due to its problematic nature and triggering tendency for those of us that have experienced abuse.

Now aside from that, I have no issue with rearranging to deleting songs but I myself choose not to unless a song bothers me personally like Housebroken does.

 

Back to this, this album seems to fly by and then I want to listen all over again. It's quick but there's a lot to unpack and it's so beautiful

 

The first two tracks and Posing Holy are my favorites, the latter being pretty much the only thing I've listened to in the last day or two.

 

"Just a simple conversation about nothing much at all
Couldn't keep me in the room, I just kept walking down the hall
But now I understand just what a fool I'd been
No matter what the context, I won't have that time again

I took inventory of what I took for granted
And I ended up with more than I imagined!"

Gah. Holy shit. What words.

 

I have a new favorite every few days, they all are the first half of the record and Skyscraper. I need to get deeper into the songs in between still.

 

So they ran out to orange vinyl so they upgraded me to the deluxe for free. Dope

 

Water Damage has been really sinking it's hooks into me.

 

Flowers and You is my favorite right now. What a great way to start the album.

 

I keep getting that guitar lead from Rapture stuck in my head, not that I'm complaining.

 

same

 

Spinning the LP again this morning. So far it is my AOTY, I think.

 

Rapture is stuck in my head ALL the time

This album... just some incredible stuff

 

This album is absolutely phenomenal, but, like Keep You and The Lack Long After I just can't bring myself to listen to it. In the almost four weeks since it's been released I think I've played it three times at most. I think it's incredible and I want to listen to it more, but I also can't be breaking into tears on the train, you know?

 

Totally with you there. Same with new ETID. I love them both, but the subject matter makes them difficult listens. I have to be – or have to want to be – in the right frame of mind.

 

Somehow it's already been a year
You keep finding new ways to make yourself reappear
I hope you never leave me be

 

What is the personal matter surrounding Low Teens? I always see people talk about it, but I don't know the story.

 

keith's attempt at sobriety, his wife's pregnancy and the complications that happened during it

 

Damn ok

 

Yeah, his wife had some medical issues and their daughter was born very premature, and there were concerns that neither would make it. It happened when they were on tour, so Keith had to rush to get home, and apparently wrote all the lyrics that first night in the hospital.

He talked a lot about it on this podcast –
