Touché Amoré - Stage Four (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 8

ugh

 

Had no idea that so many people thing Wildlife is a better record than Rooms. Wildlife is decent at best. Rooms is a better record in almost every conceivable way, if you ask me.

Also, tried to listen to Touche work pre ISB again, didn't get very far.

 

For me, Wildlife just deals with much more personal and cathartic topics. Struggling with mental illness, the death of a loved one to cancer, the loss of faith, the feeling of wanting to leave after hurting the ones you love, gang violence, the internal struggle of dealing with your own depression and shortcomings, all of that is touched on and handled so well. I'm not saying Rooms doesn't have a lot of themes or isn't cohesive, I just prefer Wildlifes idea of catharsis and emotional cleansing.

 

yeah mate. well said.

 

ok, I don't post @ the 1975 thread because I'm trying to act civilized - keep that crap away from this thread

 

The 1975 is incredible, not crap, thank you very much.

 

oh come oooooooooon

it's like the worst band ever

almost as bad as gotcha

 

Nah not really

 

The 1975 are really phenomenal

 

I've tried and they make me CRINGE so fucking hard each and every time

 

That's a shame

 

yeah theyre pretty talented and their live show is incredible

 

ALBUM OF THE YEAR MOTHER DUCKERS.

 

didn't know the TA album leaked!

 

There are moments of thread collapse.

 

Speaking of-

I've seen La Dispute live 3-4 times? each time, worst fans. Maybe it is just the area but just a terrible atmosphere/vibe.

 

Yo this is the Touché Amoré thread guys, for realzies

 

Who cares, there's nothing to really talk about regarding this album until it drops.

May as well talk about the big 3 of "The Wave"

 

I'm cool with that, as long as we all agree to never refer to it as "The Wave" again.

 

Palm Dreams is probably the best song this band has ever put out and I'm a pretty big fan of each of their albums. Really excited for this overall.

 

Meh, that's what everyone and their mom calls it. Hell, fucking Jordan of La Dispute and Geoff of Thursday coined the term. Not really a big deal.

 

The wave sounds weird, I like to refer to those 3 bands as the Big 3 of 2010-2011 era.

 

It just means new wave, sounds fine to me.

Is Survived By, Keep You, and Wildlife are my favorite from each respective band. Really cool that they're all friends that are close and tour together and do splits

 

what is this Wave you talk about?
