The Dangerous Summer - Mother Nature (June 14, 2019) Album • Page 72

Took a break, but revisited this album this morning and got a little worked up towards the end of Prologue when it crashes into Blind Ambition. Also, the title track might be my favorite song of the year right now. This is a really really exciting album.

 

I took a breather from the album and then revisited it and I am SO pumped the first thing the album reminded me of was driving to the beach.

 

“Love you dude.”

I’m not gonna lie. I teared up the first few times listening to Prologue

 

I wish someone would call and leave me a voice message like that

 

Me hearing the start of Way Down by itself: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Me hearing the start of Way Down in the context of the album, after Blind Ambition and BMBTL:

 

Listening to mother nature while walking in North Hollywood Park. Just snapped this and it looks like the Reach for the sun cover a bit lol

 

Used to live like two miles away from that park on Cahuenga

 

Nice I'm up by Lankershim and sherman way!

 

So I had prioritised War Paint in my Dangerous Summer belated deep dive, chiefly because end of decade list season approaches.
But the fact they are bringing the RFTS tour to Adelaide has encouraged me to dig into that one more. Really liking it. But after a dozen listens I couldn't pick my favourite songs. It's so consistent the whole way through!! Which songs do you guys like best from that one? And which are the 'classics' that would be played at most shows/seem to be the fan favourites?

 

Weathered and the title track really do it for me, but where I want to be and surfaced seem to be the fan favs

 

Wasn't "Surfaced" premiered on AbsolutePunk? I feel like it was.

 

Nice! I'm really digging A Space to Grow and the closer at the moment

 

Obviously The Permanent Rain is THE song, but my other top favs are Northern Lights, Weathered, and Never Feel Alone.

 

weathered is one of the best songs ever recorded period

 

This is war is so underrated because of all of the great songs that come beforehand and after it

 

This was mentioned before but Symmetry was my favorite song for a solid 2-3 years. Totally agree that it's pretty dang consistent the whole way thru though.

 

Surfaced and Settle Down for me.

 

“Never Feel Alone” is my favorite, but the entire record is perfect.

 

Symmetry is probably my favorite.

 

“Well, I’m an optimist, but only in a perfect world...”

 

Where I Want to Be, Northern Lights, and Never Feel Alone are my favorite songs on the record. Weathered and Symmetry round out the top five probably

 

Never Feel Alone is a damn great closer to a damn great album

 

The whole album is remarkably consistent.
Mother Nature is still my aoty but my favourite six songs are tracks 2 through 7

 

Listening to this album in August gives me the same optimistic feeling I would have in my high school years when the school year was just beginning.

 

Visiting a friend in Denver and this definitely holds up super hard driving through the mountains
