The Front Bottoms - Going Grey (October 13, 2017) Album • Page 16

listened to this a few more times and its really starting to grow on me. Ocean is a great closer

 

damn holy shit this album is goooood

 

Back on Top is an album I still play regularly, and this one might have to go back-to-back w/ it. Absolutely loving this one as well.

 

Wish I could hear what people here are. Really only digging three or four tracks

 

I feel like this album could really use a couple of faster-paced tracks (like Ginger or West Virginia).

 

grand finale and trampoline are two of the best songs they've ever written.

 

Did someone say Holy Fuck was the band's best intro? It's easily my least favorite song on the album. I've only listened 3x through now so I'm hoping every song will be a grower but first impression is this easily my least favorite TFB release. Not bad, but nothing sticks out as much as their other albums. I also think BOT is notches below ST and Talon.

Anyway, so far Grand Finale is my favorite song.

 

it is their best intro

 

It seems some people have never heard Flashlight.

 

nah i've heard it, it's just that holy fuck is their best

this is obviously my opinion, flashlight is cool

 

Finishing up my first full listen. I pretty immediately love it. I'll be listening to this a lot. I'm already feeling connected to several of the songs. I like that it's a little darker, but still as much fun as ever.

 

I like the album a lot but god it could do with another fast song or two. I hate 'Everyone But You' (semi pun intended).

Lyrically I don't find the album as interesting or as exciting and innovative as stuff before this either.

I loved Historic Cemetery and Grand Finale sounds in that vein, it's probably my favourite song on here with Vacation Town.

 

he sounds so fucken 2003 tom delonge on grand finale man i love it

 

"Everyone but you" does annoy me a little. Which is unfortunate. It's literally just the production on the chorus....there's something when it kicks in that I just really dislike. That huge stadium wanna-be sounding vibe.....I just really think that song would've been great as a little, bare-bones, almost acoustic, song before heading into "Ocean". Instead they went for kind of a big, radio-rock anthem, sounding chorus and vibe.

Definitely still liking this more than BoT. I think Talon reached more heights(and it has "Twin Sized Bed").....but I wasnt really into most of Talon. Overall, it's early to say, but this might end up being my 2nd favorite album by them(If we're not counting EPs)..... at worst 3rd. My favorite being the debut.

 

Everyone But You sucks

 

it does

 

this album probably also has their weakest closer

 

On the contrary, I think Everyone But You should have been the first single

 

Hah, that would've crushed my excitement for this album

 

Yeah, I would've thought they lost it. That song is the most manufactured, unnatural, generic sounding thing....and to be coming from Front Bottoms is a shame.

Just make it acoustic, lean into the quirkiness a little more.....just do like a live take of them goofing off playing it acoustically. It would even make "Ocean" feel bigger if the song before it was a chill, barebones, song.

 

Raining remains my favorite song

 

Don't really get the hate for Everyone But You, it's a catchy lil song and I like it. Probably in the bottom three of the album but I think saying it sucks is a bit harsh

 

Everyone But You is fine but the rest is just a lot better imo

 

I don't like Bae very much
