Foxing - Draw Down The Moon (August 6, 2021) Album • Page 59

I yelled fuck Ronald McDonald really loud when they were talking about F*ntano. And no it's not an autocorrect that's what I yelled lol

 

I would also like to formally and publicly retract any and all slander of Lightning and/or Bialystok that I might have engaged in in this thread because both of those songs absolutely whipped ass live

 

“lightning” is the truth

 

been doing a discog listen the last few days and decided to put this together on a whim right now not sure how its gonna turn out but i have an idea


top 10 foxing songs ranked

1. weave
2. nearer my god
3. lambert
4. cold blooded
5. grand paradise
6. beacons
7. slapstick
8. redwoods
9. the medic
10. eiffel


hell yeah look at all those bangers

 

My top five would probably be NMG, Lambert, Grand Paradise, Night Channels, Weave in that order. Not sure anything from this would crack the top 10 yet but if it did it would be Speak with the Dead, Go Down Together, or maybe At Least We Found the Floor

 

go down together was the last song i cut to get to 10

 

So good

 

the synth tones used remind me of like, Jerome LOL or DJ Seinfeld its very good very emotive

 

for comparison

 

I haven’t spent any time at all with the first 2 records. I didn’t like Albatross at all after one listen and kind of just assumed they weren’t my thing. Then maybe about a year ago or so I randomly put on NMG for no reason and at all and became obsessed with the album but never went back to the first 2 albums. I might do that this fall but not expecting to love them like I do NMG based on what I’ve read and seen others say, but maybe I’ll find a few songs to add to a favorites list.

 

the albatross hasnt aged terribly well in my opinion (its still a great raw debut from an emo band in 2013 and sound exactly like what you would expect based on that description) but dealer sounds better every time i listen to it and it was already one of my favorite records of all time.

 

I'm with you, have listened to the first two a few times but am not a fan.

 

bit by a dead bee p1 always gonna be my fave

 

Dealer is great and 100% worth listening to. The Albatross is my least favorite but still good.

 

second to last song i cut to get to 10

 

Favorites for me are

The medic
The Magdalene
Eiffel
Night channels
Glass coughs
Heartbeats
Trapped in dillards
Won’t drown
Go down together
Beacons
If I believed in love

 

Dealer is incredible. At this point I can’t see them ever making a record I love as much as that one, but DDTM is second for me no question. It’s wild to think that this is the same band that wrote The Albatross, haha. Trying to imagine what 2013 Trevor would’ve thought about Bialystok

 

It’s funny, I used to be such a, I guess for lack of a better term or any term, “chronologicalist” when it came to music. If a new album came out by a band that I hadn’t heard before I would go back and listen to their discography before listening to the new one. But as I get older and have less free time I don’t do that, but I wonder would I have been more blown away by NMG had I heard the other records first?

And I thought this when @sophos34 made his post about 737 vs GP, I think 737 wins that poll if it comes out before GP. But for me, personally, as great as 737 is, I knew to maybe expect something awesome like that to happen in 737 because of what they did on GP and NMG as a whole.

On the other hand, if you don’t hear the discography of a band in order, then maybe things aren’t as appreciated? For example, since Man O is mentioned in this thread, if someone listens to Million Masks first and then checks out the rest of their catalog maybe Million Masks doesn’t surprise as much as it does for those who did listen in “order” as they went because for those who have no history with the artist, anything is possible vs an artist changing their style as they progress.

Not saying there’s a “right way” or “wrong way” to listen to music, but younger me would be so upset with myself for listening to albums “out of order” which speaks volumes about the middle class white kid problems I experienced growing up lmao
