Four Year Strong - Brain Pain (February 28, 2020) Album • Page 8

the hot sauce is really good too

 

Absolutely agree.

 

Hardcore Fall Out Boy

 

thank you!

 

They’re doing a holiday live stream in a couple of weeks.

 

I saw them last night and they were as good as always. They’re so energetic and the crowd goes bananas every time.

 

New song possibly coming Thursday

 

has anyone heard anything about a new pressing of enemy of the world? since they are doing a full anniversary tour and everything?

 

With that and the clip PN posted it seems like they re-recorded EOTW

 

I’ve never been a mega fan and the re-recording doesn’t sound bad.. but I’d not replace the original. Think there’s a new song on the end or an old b-side I’ve not heard.

 

Weird that Cavalier is on there without the indication it’s been re-recorded like the others. It’s definitely already on streaming services so what’s the point

 

Ah, maybe it was a U.S only track. Doesn’t seem to be on any UK streaming.

 

Ah yeah okay, that’s gotta be it then. Probably just making it more widely available. Surprised they didn’t include Listen Do You Smell Something as well

 

Love cavalier

no reason for a re-recording, the budget they had at the time certainly surpasses anything they could come up with now

 

Budget ≠ quality

Their production sound took a huge leap starting with Go Down in History.

 

In Some Way Shape Or Form sounded good imo

 

It did, better than the self titled imo

 

Self titled sounds good imo, it just didn’t fit this band at all. But Ballou rules and absolutely did a great job doing what he does. Weirdly their best sounding record is probably Brain Pain

 

GDIH EP is still the best production they’ve ever had IMO

 

Okay yeah this Cavalier is definitely re-recorded

 

It might just be me but re-recording those songs seems pointless given it’s only been a decade and there isn’t much wrong with the originals.

 

I have yet to listen but maybe they wanted to re-record with the Josh’s parts? Agreed the originals sounded fine.

 

Either that or it was easier to press vinyl for the new recordings versus trying to get the originals masters back

This went up awhile ago. Ships from the UK though.

 

I was OBSESSED with this record when it came out. The excitement was unbearable. Still love it (and the B-sides) to this day but I feel some charm has been lost in these rerecordings. Probs nostalgia etc. That said I'll still probably preoder.

Also the original version of Cavalier is my fave FYS tune of all time.
