Tiny Moving Parts Band • Page 4

I've never listened to these guys before, but this album was really good! I love that guitar work. Are the earlier albums similar?

 

Just finished my first listen of the new record. They've basically become the emo bayside but it doesn't bother me. They have their sound and they do it well. Lyrics are cheesy but I don't mind it, their instrumentation more than makes up for it. Their show with Prawn and Free Throw is going to be dopeeeeee

 

This record is a little bit more straightforward but not too different. The first two albums have awesome guitar work.

 

the show at 7th St Entry was SO GOOD last night! the best they have sounded

 

This album especially reminds me of a band but I can't quite put my finger on who exactly i'm thinking of.....la dispute maybe...

 

If I really disliked the band's other releases is this one worth checking out? I keep hearing good things and it's making me want to but also too much other good music just came out.

 

Surprised to see this. To me they changed things up quite a bit on all 3 records while still keeping that distinct core sound. This one was not as math-y as you mentioned, and I LOVE the math rock emo sound. I hope they never abandon that because their talent as musicians is incredible and needs to shine. Groups like TTNG make records that all sound alike but are revered because they are sick musically. I see this band in the same way.

 

I agree on that I don't want them to abandon the math rock sound. Dylan is such a fun guitarist to watch live and Billy is ridiculous as well. I love TTNG but these guys are more fun to sing a long with.

 

What was it about their other records that you disliked? If it was the guitar work, you might like this as it's more straightforward. If it was the vocals you probably won't be super into this either.

 

Agreed. Just a super fun band with incredible musicianship. I have never been a huge lyrics guy as long as the other parts are good.

 

It was mostly the vocals I think, but not the voice specifically. More the lyrics like I'm pretty sure the first album starts with him yelling "I have never been so sad and scared at the same time" or something and I've never been able to get past it.

Idk, I'll probably still check it out. This band has always seemed like something I'd be into but just can't for some reason. Maybe this one will click.

 

First time I saw TMP was on tour with The Wonder Years. Went to a few dates and one was the first night of tour. I've never seen somebody so happy to be on stage as Dylan was. He shreds, too.

 

I've spoken to the band at every show I've seen them at. They are literally the sweetest, most humble dudes. Last show I was at they just hung out in the crowd with me and some friends for a solid 10-15 minutes. They have no ego whatsoever. They honestly deserve all the success in the world.

 

I liked the first, has a peculiar atmosphere I can appreciate

second one couldn't listen to more than one song per sitting - can't even remember it, honestly

this one - this one is really good too guitar work is fucking good (and love those tones) and it's clean cut and fresh - melodramatic, sure - but, you know...

 

fuck that "it's yr birthday" line, tho - seriously

 

really enjoying this. good progression.

 

I don't think that's a terrible line in context.


Now, the line "there's blood on my flannel, courage in my flask' line kinda sucks. Like, you don't even rhyme with flannel, just say, 'blood on my shirt'

 

That album is phenomenal, mostly the guitar work, bit like every bit of those songs, the drumming is really fresh and energetic, it's a great listen! I don't know what's so fucking wrong with a bit of cheesiness in the lyrics, I, for one, simply don't mind - some of those words are what a young adult could honestly write down with a bit of straightforwardness, and it's ok, it's going to be relatable for a lot of younger listeners, and it's not a problem if I don't releate to some of that and so on.

 

It's not so much that I dislike the lyrics, although some are really clunky, but the vocals/delivery aren't up to par for me. I do like the guitar work a lot. "Common Cold" is an early favorite mostly because Conor Murphy

 

@Lindsay M yes, "Common Cold" is great and I adore Conor's parts over there.. Matt's vocals on the other hand, just need some getting used to, he's not a perfect singer, but watching him play and sing, hmm it won't be too much to say it makes me happy somehow :)

 

I agree! I did really enjoy watching them live. It's just that something about the album falls a little flat

 

This album isn't very good.

I like it a lot.

 

Really, why don't you think it's good? I love it and have been alternating between this and goodness for the last week

 

The vocals and lyrics are still not good. That said, I wasn't kidding about enjoying it. I only listened once but I really liked it

 

@Zac Djamoos it's exactly what most people agree on, I think - you have to put these vocals in your mind as a different form of it, it doesn't have to be what is already out there, and it's still enjoyable, which in my mind, makes it good in the end ;p ;d
