god the stride this album hits in the back half should be studied. Til I let you know, meant, every exchange, portrait, bad news I mean Jesus Christ man

 

this is so good

 

I think the run time of this is keeping it from beating out True Love as my top album by them. they're not really the kind of band I can listen to for too long or else the songs start sounding the same.

 

compared to the length of a lot of albums coming out these days 53 minutes feels relatively light

 

True Love is still my number. It’s going to be hard for them to top that album for me.

 

There are plenty of 12 or 13 track albums that clock in at 45 minutes or more, 53 minutes is shorter than many “deluxe” versions of pop albums that people eat up. I think calling this a double album is slightly disingenuous to begin with, but I’m inclined to receive it as the band presents it, and if that’s as a double album, ok.

 

I don’t think they’ve said it’s a double album anywhere?

 

I think you’re gonna love Heavy Lifter/Billboard/the 2020 singles

 

Hovvdy - Hovvdy

I’ve seen it plenty of places.

 

Make Ya Proud is my heartfelt song of the spring

 

Def agreed those albums are just WAY too long and 53 is not that bad in comparison. But I’m still feeling the length here whereas with True Love, I’m left fully satisfied if not wanting more.

 

They called it a double-album in the press release, which is probably why so many writers are referring to it as such. Otherwise, I would agree that this is closer to something like The Lonesome Crowded West than a bonafide double-album. But who cares honestly

 

I've been thinking about how a bunch of the record (especially that first chunk) sounds like early earnest Modest Mouse. Like, if they'd thrown in a cover of something like "Workin' On Leavin' The Livin'," "Baby Blue Sedan," "Make Everyone Happy," or "You're The Good Things," it would fit so well.

 

I definitely get lonesome crowded west for the modern age from this record

 

It doesn't have the extended jams, but it's definitely in the vibes

 

my record showed up today :)

 

Gorgeous

 

Love this, 19 songs with no filler. Album seems to fly by and I just want to hit play again when I get to the end.

 

Got my deluxe record as well :) a pleasant surprise during this week from Hell. Switching out my record player now so I can actually spin it tonight.

 

Gonna go see if any local stores have this this week

 

what’s the deluxe one??

 

Just blue variant with a big photo collage inside the gatefold

 

Interview still coming, some of you guys probably know I had some bad life shit throw me for a loop last week but hoping to recover this week and get this thang published

 

The DJ scratches in Forever are everything

 

Will is featured on this track! Whole album is really enjoyable. Mix of Hovvdy/bleachers/dom fike
