PUP - THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND (April 1st, 2022) • Page 18

Sibling Rivalry
DVP
Totally Fine
Bare Hands
Doubts

No order

 

I personally love how the vocals are dropped in the mix. Re: “Relentless”, probably the best song here.

 

Mabu
DVP
Scorpion Hill
Bare Hands
Bankruptcy

Any of those are subject to change at any given moment

 

Top 5 is really hard. I haven't had a chance to really process the album yet so no new tracks are included

Gut feel, no order:

Morbid Stuff
Anaphylaxis
Sleep In The Heat
If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will
Kids

Any of these could swap into the top 5:

Guilt Trip
Reservoir
Mabu
Dark Days
DVP
My Life Is Over
Can't Win
Familiar Patterns
Closure
Sibling Rivalry
Nothing Changes

 

I had a dream last night that Dua Lipa covered Reservoir

 

Need that to happen now

 

I think I listened to this album seven straight times today. Just really clicking into place and connecting with every song and the lyrics like I haven’t done in quite some time. I’ve always been a fan of the band but I think this is the first record of theirs to grab me so immediately.

Really obsessed with “Relentless” and it’s a great track to listen to while running. Want to go back and spin the rest of records since it’s been awhile but I just keep hitting play again when this ends.

 

God, the first half of this album hits so fucking hard but it really does lose me in the last few tracks (until the actual closer which I love). So far really having a hard time getting into Relentless, Habits, Cutting Off the Corners and Grim Reaping which is kinda rough since they're all basically right next to each other

Still absolutely loving the rest though and still strongly considering going and seeing them

 

Ah bummer. I think Relentless, Habits and Cutting off the Corners are arguably the 3 best songs on the record. I think Grim Reaping is my least favorite though.

 

Grim Reaping has been stuck in my head the last few days.

 

Cutting off the corners is probably the best song on here

 

Agreed

 

It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite PUP songs

 

So it's not really a screen printed cover like the Spotify email said, but it's a neat print.

 

So is it just a print and the album sleeve is the standard artwork?

 

Yeah, a little disappointing but I just decided to keep it with some other records I’ve never unwrapped.

 

Wow, I was tempted to pay someone an outlandish price for that if that was alternate cover. Glad I didn’t, even though the art rules regardless.

 

Yup, it is. Even with that said, the shipping was super fast (I guess it arrived yesterday but I was in dc all day and not home) and it’s nice to not have to worry about an alternate cover sleeve getting all messed up. But now it’s just like “well what do I do with this print?” Im thinking of framing it since it is so cool, but idk.

 

Yea that’s a bummer. Mine arrives today. Still cool though.

 

Would say my top five are (not in order):

Reservoir
DVP
Sleep In The Heat
See You At Your Funeral
Kids

Will need to see how these songs last long term before I add them, but Totally Fine, Waiting and Matilda will all end in my top 10 if not five.

 

This really does just keep getting better. Every time I listen a different song more fully clicks into place

 

Yeah finally clicked today. Love this.
Even the four chords parts. Which I didn’t like immediately.

 

Four Chords (and the interludes) really click when you hear it live. I loved it to start but it was such a fucking fun way to kick off a show.

 

what in the [four chords]

ARE YOU SEEING THIS SHIT?????

 

I just wish the 4 chords interludes were longer because they’re catchy and honestly quite hilarious.
