this rules

 

Marathon of Anger sounds like Talking Heads tbh

 

they've always had a bit of TH in their sound imo

 

Really digging this record. The production is kind of jarring to me, sounds more polished than I’m used to for this band. Not bad, just a different look for them. Unsure where it sits for me in a ranking so far. Also, got tickets for their Chicago date and I’m stoked.

 

Really love how they keep evolving, really into this one.

 

this is actually pretty easily my least favorite by them. still okay but not generally the vibe i want from them

 

I think I like Wide Awake most, but everything else is pretty much evenly excellent in my book.

 

Plant Life too

 

Probably not my favorite, but it feels like their most interesting. Maybe that's recency bias though. Definitely have listened to it a ton since it came out and haven't gotten tired of it.

 

I listened to this half way through a few weeks ago and had zero interests. Got back to it this weekend and havent stopped playing it. Not their best album, but I really enjoy it. takes a bit of time

 

New song:

 

Can’t listen rn but love anytime i see A Savage looking like that in a thumbnail

 

I had no clue they sounded like that live. I want more of that roughness on the vocals in their studio stuff.
