Relient K Band • Page 135

Honestly, I still think about it every time I listen...

 

Yeah, I rarely listen to FANSD for the very reasons most people love it: it sounds so different production-wise (not a fan of the drums mix), has some very topic-specific lyrics I no longer connect with and doesn’t really sound like the version of RK I still like to revisit…I know I know, but it’s how I feel about the album 15 years removed.

 

slander going on in this thread rn

 

I stand by what I said.

That being said, if they ever did an album tour anywhere near me for FANSD, I'd be there in a heartbeat and singing along with every word. It's objectively a fantastic album, subjectively not my favorite.

 

Also, there's a 15th anniversary vinyl repress coming next month.

 

Excellent, I’ll be very happy to grab an anniversary repress - please don’t be a bad colour

 

180g black.

 

I haven't checked their thread because I'm not super familiar with the band but Origami Angel's new album reminds me of Relient K at times

 

they've always sounded like Relient K, "Find Your Throne" is an Mmhmm b side in my head

 

Relient K - Forget And Not Slow Down (15 Year Anniversary Edition 180Gram Vinyl 2LP)

 

I’ll stick with what I have. Hope we get more than vinyl represses.

 

I see vinyl represses as keeping the flame alive. It’s not what many people want but the Matts are directly involved in these represses and active behind the scenes.

 

does this have the same etching on the d side?

 

Ya pretty sure

 

FANSD is 15 today

 

Relient K - MMHMM (20th Anniversary Limited Edition Vinyl Double LP)

Remastered with expanded artwork, new color

 

I somehow missed that the 20 yr vinyl release was on the exact 20 yr date of Mmhmm. I was listening to the album tonight and remember counting down the days for that album to come out in high school. I remember going to a release show right before the album came out and got a copy mailed. Ahhh the days before streaming waiting for physical copies to arrive

 

My friend bought me it for Christmas but living in the UK it didn’t actually arrive until mid-January. Talk about waiting for physical copies!

 

Relient K is always a very big Nov/Dec band for me, for obvious reasons, and once again this year I am being enveloped in the pure joy and warmth of Let It Snow Baby... Let It Reindeer

This album always gets me through rough times. These last couple months have been particularly rough, but things are looking brighter. This album helps quite a lot. Wishing you all the very best going into this holiday season

 

RK dropped the ball on not having a 20 yr annv tour for mmhmm, take our monies!

i went to the 10 yr tour and had a blast, i would of gone again this year for sure.

 

Yea, and the Matt’s seemed to indicate something more was coming when Hoopes released the Mmhmm guitar pedal. I guess it was the super basic repress? Lame that’s all it amounted to.

Although, speaking of it, I still haven’t tried out that pedal yet.

 

didn't know there was a pedal, that's neat, also love your SW holiday avatar, that's neat too!
