The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 24

Woops, forgot they played Your Deep Rest...forget where in the set they played that.

 

I hope jade plays on Friday, I love Jade and I'd love to chill

 

They are, I asked Oso to play and Jade told me they can't but they'll be playing in Hotelier

 

yayyyyyy I'm excited

 

Well. It's almost 2am, I have class at 930am, and I just finished listening to Home yet again. Man... That album just means so much to me. Never connected to an album the same way I have to it.

I have really high expectations for Goodness, I think we all do. But I really came to the realization tonight that maybe Goodness won't be what Home is for me. And that's okay. That doesn't mean it can't be a phenomenal record. That doesn't mean I can't be absolutely floored by it. In fact, I still have faith that it'll be my favorite album of the year. But it doesn't need to be Home pt2. And I'm not talking about Home pt2 in sound, im saying it doesn't need to be Home Pt2 on the deep emotional connection that can occur with an album. I think too often we expect a bands new album to re-create or even simulate our emotions that we have towards their other pieces of work... But why? If an album has an incredible effect on us, is that not good enough? Why do we expect follow up albums to replace that.

Anyway. Long kind of pointless post at 2am when I should've fallen asleep a few hours ago. Long story short I'm beyond excited for Goodness and I'm ready to have a new expirience with it, separate from my expirience with Home.

 

You are my favorite.

 

I've been majorly sleeping on this band for such a long time. Like what the fuck. They are so good.

 

Also, they know about the snare criticism - Christian was like, "Is your snare on?" before Piano Player

 

They're all really funny.

I remember when Christian played Intro acoustic and laughed when everyone did the "Fuck!" Part. "It's always funny when we get to that part in the song as a band, but it's even funnier acoustic".

 

This coming out at the dawn of the summer is the greatest thing ever.

 

Ya this album is definitely going to be the soundtrack to my summer.

 

You should come to the show in Delaware and hang w me and James on Friday

 

I'm actually considering it, I could visit another friend down there as well possibly. All depends on when I get out of work on Friday.

 

Hell yeah, let me know if you're coming out!

 

and me too
hang with me
i want friends
please say hi friends yay

 

I haven't anticipated an album release as much as this one in a long time. Hope for the band's sake it doesn't leak but damn I really wish I could listen before release day.

 

Do you really think that leaks effect album sales in today's age? A lot of bands let fans that preorder the record hear it early, and yes it usually ends up online but if someone's going to buy it they will buy it, if they want to steal it they will wait to steal it.

 

Yeah you're probably right, especially wrt music in this scene. I think with some albums it seems like a leak can kill the hype a little before the actual release date if the album is just okay, but with others (like Goodness) I guess a leak could end up building more hype.

 

A leak now would be rough, but something like mid May would probably be fine for them

 

Can't believe there's still a month or so to go...

 

Saosin comes out a week before this and they released a song this week so we should get a new hotelier song next week right?

 

I doubt we'll get another song before release but who knows.

 

I would love that actually

 

Even if it leaks, I probably wouldn't listen.

Listening to all you guys blabber on about it would be really tough though haha would test my breaking point for sure.
