Jeff Rosenstock - No Dream (May 20, 2020) Album • Page 5

holy fuck what a thing to wake up to, this is so good

"Leave it in the Sun" -> "The Beauty of Breathing" fucking sent me

 

yeah "***BNB" is getting a bit overlooked, that thing's a fucking hook machine

 

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT I WANTED TO LIKE ME

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT I WANTED TO LIKE ME

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON THAT I WANTED TO LIKE ME

 

Such a welcome surprise! Can't wait to listen to it on repeat.

 

"and the only way to trick yourself into not feeling insane
are the negative impulses that you struggle to restrain
you know that nothing’s real but you sink your hooks into mistakes anyway
and you’re paralyzed by the how’s and why’s because people never change"

holy fuck jeff

 

Whole thing rules. What a legend.

 

Honeymoon Ashtray into Ohio Tpke, wow

As an aside, I absolutely love the album art on this

 

"Ohio Tpke" is the best closer he's had since "Felt Just Like Vacation" imo

 

on my second listen I'm fully on board with this. maybe this is a good opportunity to revisit his other stuff I couldn't really get into before

 

never heard his music or his name before (well, maybe the name but never the music for sure) and this was an awesome find.

"Scram!" is my favorite after three listens

 

anyone who hasn't heard it listen to BTMI's Vacation as soon as feasibly possible. flawless album

 

SCRAMBLES is my fav

 

They're all so great

 

ADULTS!!! is one of my favorites and is just 7 straight incredible songs

 

This is undoubtedly true

 

all of them are so good. Vacation is my favourite because it takes you on such a journey, and the sonic progression from where they started is stunning. Scrambles and Adults are still absolutely full of bangers - "25" and "All Ages Shows" are in the conversation for best songs he's ever written

 

Adults is my favorite release by him but yeah Vacation is his opus. I urge everyone to go back through all of BTMI. They're incredible through and through. Bits of genius on every single record, as abrasive as the first few are. I really do think he's lost a bit of magic after the switch to his real name

 

Is BTMI the actual name or is that an acronym for something

 

Bomb The Music Industry!

 

worth reminding everyone (not that it matters since streaming services exist now) that all of his records are free on QuoteUnquote! No excuses not to go back to his early stuff if you like this or Worry!

 

Scrambles will probably always be my favorite but I love everything he’s ever put out. Best songwriter of our generation.

 

Three Cheers For Disappointment by ASOB followed by Get Warmer by BTMI are my favorites but it’s all great. The solo albums haven’t hit me the same way that ASOB and BTMI did but that is probably a me problem.

 

If you consider HELLLLHOOOOLE through Perfect Sound Whatever as one long song (because you can't listen to any part of that sequence as a standalone song), then that's his best closer

Perfect always takes so long, because it don't exist... IT DOESN'T EXISTTTTTT

 

My vote is for Syke! Life is Awesome or Sort of Like Being Pumped

 

Let Them Win or Felt Just Like Vacation.

Also just listened to Adults since the first (and probably only) time I listened to it and yeah I’ve been sleeping. It slaps.
