Relient K Band • Page 84

Glad they moved on from this idea.

 

Wow.. so glad they went with the cars. Is that Matt T twice?

 

My best friend growing up showed me a couple of their songs like Pressing On, Sadie Hawkins Dance, Be My Escape, etc. I ended up loving them, so eventually I wanted a CD. That was around the time Mmhmm was released, but for whatever reason I got Two Lefts instead. Looking back I can't remember why I did since my friend only showed me one song from that album (Chap Stick) compared to Mmhmm or even Anatomy, but I'm so glad I did. It was the first album I truly loved!

Edit: I got Two Lefts instead cause my friend already had Mmhmm, so he told me get Two Lefts and we'll burn each other CDs. That's what it was!

 

2018 version of The Calendar, The Energy plz and thnks

 

Had the day off and decided to make my own Air For Free patches for my jacket. Turned out pretty good!

Matthew Thiessen & The Earthquakes opening for Owl City in Boston on September 21st.

 

Bummed it’s not coming close to me.

I don’t like Owl City but I’d still go to see Matt, but I don’t really wanna travel for that. Haha.

So stoked about this Earthquakes album though!

 

Pretty cool.

 

It's been a painfully long wait for that pedal. Part of me still doesn't believe him when he says he's "getting really close to releasing it" - it'll be later this fall when it actually comes out, I bet haha.

 

Oh did he do a preorder or crowdfunder? Always sucks with delays for that kind of thing.

 

No, it's just been around for like 3 years in various forms/stages...

 

Some footage and in the comments one of the band members confirmed an 11 song album out in August!

 

Created an album thread! Will update with title and release date when that info is available.

Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes - TBA (August 2018)

 

I'm excited.

 

Listening to Five Score all the way through for the first time in a long time. I forgot how much I enjoyed it when it came out.

 

Five Scores was the first album of theirs where after the first listen I went "....I..guess I like it?" and felt like I was lying to myself.

Has some of their best songs, but man is there a lot of filler.

 

Five Score is the first album of theirs I like all the way through, ha.

 

I sense rankings are coming :)

 

Forget And Not Slow Down > Mmhmm > Air For Free > Two Lefts > Anatomy > Five Score > Collapsible Lung > Relient K

 

FaNSD=AFF>5score>mmhmm>collapsible lung>2 lefts > anatomy > rk

 

1. MMHMM
2. Forget and Not Slow Down
3. Air for Free
4. Five Score and Seven Years Ago
5. Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...But Three Do
6. The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek
7. Collapsible Lung
8. Relient K

This band has four terrific albums, one great album, two decent albums, and one mediocre album. One of the best discographies of any band I know.

 

Forget and Not Slow Down = Anatomy > MMHMM > Air for Free > Two Lefts > Relient K > Five Scores > Collapsible Lung

That is where I sit today, my rankings of their albums changes quite a bit throughout the year. Some have heavy nostalgia attached to them as well, specifically Anatomy, that does play into the ranks.

 

1. Mmhmm = FANSD = Air For Free
4. Five Score
5. Two Lefts
6. Birds and the B-sides
7. One-off singles
8. Various EPs
9. The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek
10. s/t
11. Literally anything else
12. Collapsible Lung
