Gatsbys American Dream Band • Page 2

Weird but to each their own

 

Actually nvm I know your tastes and yeah this band probably isn't for you, or most people haha

 

Their songs are interesting, that's all I can really say about them, but there's nothing that grips me much. Your analysis of them was pretty spot on though.

 

Well thanks ur sweet

Hurry up and make a Twitter so I can harass you more

 

Haha, used to have one and just never used it.

 

Volcano and R&S and the S/T still slap so hard like god damn this band was so ahead of their time yet so clearly influenced by bands like The Cure and stuff like that. Lots of goth rock mixed in with the progressive un-structured songwriting

 

Volcano is very gothic for sire

 

Many years too late, but I heard Volcano for the first time and it is awesome.

 

Volcano is the best, go to self-titled after that and then work your way back from Volcano.
People are going to argue with me and say that Ribbons & Sugar is the best, but it is not my favorite.

 

Wait. What?

Kinda surprised.

 

I actually have had the s/t for a few years, I had just never gotten around to going back until I spotted Volcano for two bucks in a Salvation Army.

Everyone has their blind spots, man. I could be puzzled that you haven't heard 10 Warren Zevon records or anything from Ahmad Jamal. Haha

 

chris

im so happy

enjoy it

 

It's...a shocking amount better than the s/t.

 

ill always go to bat for S/T but yeah Volcano is one of those albums that doesnt get enough credit for the influence its had on a lot of different bands from our scene. I love how gothic and chaotic yet smooth and groovy it can be

 

Yeah, Volcano is such a fucking great and deceptively interesting album

miss em

 

i think its right up there with like, Worship & Tribute and The Ugly Organ as far as having a deceptively large impact on so many bands from our scene and even beyond

 

s/t ftw tho

 

They are active on Facebook for the first time since like 2018, not sure if it means anything but I hope

 

what. a. bump

 

shut up

 

?????

 

I never thought they would reunite after the last fail, but boy would I love to see it

 

i’m sorry what

 

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bobby literally told me the other day that that's not happening

 

I could totally see a couple Volcano 15 year shows. At least in like Seattle and Portland.
