Zach Bryan - The Great American Bar Scene (July 4th, 2024) Album • Page 15

it was tough.

and also so bad that like, shes in the middle of outlining an event where abuse took place and it cuts to an ad of portnoy reading a draftkings ad piece lol.

 

I know that succinct isn't really Zach Bryan's brand, but I do think that this album could have benefitted greatly from trimming the fat a bit. It's long and there are sections that feel a bit like a slog to get through, but the good stuff is really good. Did a mental count today and could get this easily down to 14-ish tracks at like 45 min and it would have been all killer no filler. Good album either way, but I think it coulda used an editor to make it great

 

its still a no skips album for me personally

 

I don’t think I’ve listened to this since July. I like it but got burnt out on it quickly.

 

listen to it today lil grim

 

Group listen let's go

 

One of at least a half a dozen albums from this year that I liked a lot but also felt the need to make an edit of. Of those (others: Beyonce, Post Malone, Billy Strings, Gracie Abrams, Sam Barber, Taylor), it's definitely the one I most enjoyed playing all the way through. But there are definitely a few sections that sag a little bit with samey-sounding songs.

 

Where do I start with Billy Strings? Been on my “to listen” list for a while!

 

Him being such a piece of shit crybaby loser sullied it a bit for me but it’s still a good record

 

no still listening to los campesinos!

 

i dont speak spanish

 

I probably like his new one best, Highway Prayers. All his records are pretty long and dense, so he's not the most approachable artist, but if you click with his "thing" (essentially, very jammy and technically impressive bluegrass) you'll find lots to love. I do know some people who struggled with his studio albums and then clicked with his Live Vol. 1 album, so worth keeping that in mind.

 

Highway Prayers is great, solidly in my top five of the year. I recommend starting there, but Home and Renewal are also good entry points. Both albums start with runs of some of his best songs. I also recommend checking out his live material on YouTube since he's one of those artists whose live show is an experience.

 

RT on this. It’s been hard to listen to him after he’s fully shown his ass so many times.

 

live tour album released at midnight

 

tishomingo!

 

weren't we all supposed to be emailed downloads of the date we attended?

 

we were - maybe a month or two ago, it was only links to youtube videos of the entire show recording.

 

I never even got that

 

Someone has them all on Reddit, even clipped them into songs if you want to go digging.

 

I think the Revival from this live album was at my show, so that's cool. But yeah, never even got a link to the YouTube videos.

 

I hope in Oak Island you can hear the person sitting right fucking next to me who was taking phone calls during the show

 

A live album called 24, when there are 25 tracks is fucking killing me.

 

How much of this track list overlaps with All My Friends Hate Ticketmaster?

 

Looks like the repeats on first glance are

Open the Gate
Godspeed
68 Fastback
Oklahoma Smokeshow
Burn Burn Burn
Quittin Time
Revival
