The Dangerous Summer - The Dangerous Summer (January 26th, 2018) Album • Page 14

I really enjoy every song here, but Live Forever is kinda easily the standout for me. It has the exact same emotional weight to it that made this band so important to me in the first place (in general this record does that much better than Golden Record imo)

 

I also love the subtlety of the 'where's the color / bleeding' line being asked in the opener and then answered in the closer, when it's no longer occurring around him but instead coming from him

 

"I live for the moment and try not to fart." - my mind singing along to Infinite.

 

That fill after the bridge of Ghosts is still my absolute favorite thing.

 

I won't get a true dangerous summer drive to this album in a few days...gonna try to leave for work early tomorrow to get the full listen in on the drive.

 

I wrote a little review on the record on a site I occasionally contribute to. Check it out if you're inclined!

 

Love this album, and I had low expectations.

 

This is solid. Color and Valium were the standouts for me with tracks 8/9 being the weak points.

 

meanwhile all my friends are still in London
We talk sometimes, it's like nothing's ever changed

Man, it's like AJ is in my head. That's pretty much my exact situation right now. I'm going to pretend he overheard me talking to my girlfriend about this when he used to live in her apartment building in LA.

 

If you feel like this album doesn’t live up to the first two, listen to it on a night drive.

 

Can't get over the opener. The way he flows into "I honestly believe in us" is so great.

 

I did this last night! Wipin' tears away the whole ride home

 

Waiting til tomorrow to listen so I can do it while I'm driving. Holy fuck I'm so excited to have these guys back and reading the posts....ahhhh

 

same!

 

Wild Again became my favorite after my drive home from work today, so good

 

Mark Hoppus just tweeted about the new TDS album. That’s pretty cool for them!

 

AJ did demo with Feldmann or at least was hanging out there after they first reformed. Still so awesome. I could totally see blink bringing them out on their next headliner

 

listened to this on my drive to work this morning (by that i really mean yesterday/friday morning) and wow i like this way more than expected.
Matt Kennedy killed it on the guitars here, i'm super impressed

 

"Live Forever" is my favorite after one full listen.

 

This is fine. Not as good as RFTS or War Paint. Never hits the highs of GR or the EP. But never slumps to the extended lows of either. Will need more listens though.

I really dislike Ghosts though.

 

HOW I SPEAK TO GOD IS HOW I SPEAK TO YOU

At the instore it sounded like he pronounce it GO, like into a scream fade. It was cool.

 

That's actually the part I don't like hahaha. If it wasn't repeated it would be a great way to end the chorus, but the repeat I don't like.

 

I don't like it either.

 

Finally giving this a full listen. God DAMN, Color is a fantastic opener.

 

this album has much better guitar work imo. Cody was at best a mediocre rhythm guitarist who could rely on a few different effects and the other band members to get by, but when you really listen to what hes doing in pretty much every TDS song its downstrummed major chords or just 3-4 simple power chords repeated. i think that plays a lot into a lot of TDS sounding the same on a surface level

im going to assume Matt pulled double duty for both guitar parts, or maybe AJ did some guitar on record idk, but they sound MUCH more fleshed out and far more interesting.

i know its only been a few years since GR but im really glad AJ hasnt lost his lyrical touch, no offense to the guy but im sure it can be difficult to get back into that headspace after so long.
