Where might Finch fall in this?

 

Never really listened to Finch, tbh!

 

You have a year to remedy that.

 

First Finch album was great. Couldn't get into the second one and never even knew they released a third one.

I saw them a few times during the What It Is To Burn tour cycle.

 

I totally forgot Finch was playing.


I fell in love with WIITB, and a lot of those songs are still quality bangers. I didn't like SHTS when it first dropped, but in revisiting the album I dig most of it and I'm bummed everyone hated it so much.

 

1st finch album is easily top 10 all time for me, if not higher. A complete masterpiece where essentially every song is amazing. Insane how they could make such a revolutionary album and fall that fast. I guess they ran out of good ideas for songs ?

 

They were huge in 2002-2003 too. Like, bigger than The Used and My Chem and TBS. What It Is To Burn was all over the radio and MTV.

 

For those who weren't old enough to remember, I can't stress just how much Finch fans hated SHTS when it first dropped. I've never seen a band's fan base reject a change in sound the way Finch's fans did.

 

i was one of them haha. they lost me on that album too.

 

What It Is To Burn is incredible, nothing after that album has been anywhere near that quality, one of the wildest flash-in-the-pan albums from a band

 

I saw movielife, my chem, finch, the used (amazing show obviously). This was 2003.

Guess who the HEADLINER was! Finch. So you're right on about finch being the legit top of the world for a small minute.

 

Yeah, I saw that show at The Agora in Cleveland and I remember Bert walking through the crowd to catch Finch's set. I shook his hand, haha.

 

def was a co headliner with the Used. They both had the same set length but rotated closing slots. The Used closed my date and Bert threw a fruit basket out at the crowd to start the show and my girlfriend at the time got hit in the head hard by an apple.

 

SHTS doesn't really sound like no-good-ideas-for-songs to me hahh, there's so much going on. Some songs fall flat, maybe, but the album's amazing and stands the test of time too. Same with the following EP. And that record is definitely more revolutionary than WIITB2 would have been - just my take. Would really love to see them live and that would probably be one of my highlights off of the next year's line-up

 

Who's ready for the next evolution lol

 

i would unironically rather go to that for limp bizkit, breaking benjamin, slipknot, toby keith, and deftones than next year's lmao

 

Makes sense why you wouldn’t want to go to the one next year if those are the bands you’d rather see…

 

You leave Deftones out of this

 

oh I didn't make it! just stole from something that popped up in my social media feed.

 

Oh I figured. Haha. I guess I’m just saying, in general, Deftones should be left out of it

 

Bad day to be a Coors Light at that fest

 

i'm a man. a real man, even.
