PUP - The Dream Is Over (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 14

the second half of this is so much better than the first its not even funny

 

I feel like the first three songs are really strong then from Old Wounds onwards it's just fuckin great, surprised you didn't like at least DVP if you liked the second half haha

 

This is a gigantic improvement over the first album

 

I preferred DVP to If This Tour, but yeah Old Wounds til the end is good. But I don't like the closer

 

God, I love the closer so much haha a perfect ending to the album imo

 

Wish they did the same as Hotelier and release this on Bandcamp same time as the stream...Familiar Patterns is my jam but need it in decent quality

 

This album sounds like what getting your ass kicked feels like, in a good way.

 

Just gave this a listen finally. Fantastic album, even better than their debut.

 

This has been my running soundtrack every day since the stream went up. It's a lot of fun.

 

wrote up a review for the band, take a look

PUP - The Dream is Over • chorus.fm

 

I did not know about his vocal chords. Does that mean he's just gonna keep doing this until he literally can't anymore? Or does he plan to take it a little bit easier?

Also, definitely enjoying this more than The Hotelier. Though they really aren't comparable.

 

Need to resist singing the chorus of Familiar Patterns in public because it is the catchiest thing I've heard all year!

 

im actually not sure. i hardly think he just said "fuck it." Im sure some sort of treatment was hammered out, i think it's just that one dr they saw was very YOU WILL NEVER SING AGAIN. I think they got a second opinion.

 

Just got a shipping notification for my pre order!

 

Yeah, they at least dropped off the rest of that tour because of it so there was probably some sort of treatment involved.

Great review by the way!

 

thanks friend!

 

Just grabbed this on vinyl - my local store had it on the shelves early

 

Great review except for the bit where you said Old Wounds was the only OK song on here

Which is so very wrong

In my opinion ofc

EXCEPT MY SUBJECTIVE OPINION IS CLEARLY OBJECTIVE FACT

 

haha. just don't really care for it myself. too screechy.

 

"it sounds closer to canine brethren Dr. Dog than Pup"

one of the best phrases in a review I've seen on this site.

 

I basically binged If This Tour Doesn't Kill You and DVP back to back for hours yesterday and today.

I understand the reasoning some of you have behind believing If this tour is cringe worthy because of it's lyrical content, but I also feel like it wouldn't have been a successful song otherwise. I mean, when capturing anger in lyrics, it's all about what's in the moment right? How does someone feel in the moment that they are angry. I know it's not the same for everyone, but when I'm angry, my thought's are literally as blunt as possible with little to no metaphorical interpretation needed. I'm sure that this song was written with those in-the-moment thoughts as a basis. Whether those thoughts were written subconsciously or not is a different story.

That makes sense right?

 

Didn't know Sleep In The Heat was about his pet chameleon. Damn, that song is sad!

 

Just saw this. Glad I was able to expose a few people back then. Crazy how big they've gotten since August. The tide was already shifting big time with them around then but it's exploded since then.

 

How good is the chorus of Familiar Patterns?

 

I thought it was about a friend who killed themselves when I first started making out the lyrics, so the song felt a lot less sad to me when I found that out lol but still sad.
