The Dangerous Summer - Coming Home (2022) Album • Page 6

This is an extremely bad take for multiple reasons.

 

Good take is good

 

No album with songs like "Catholic Girls" or "Infinite" on them should make you want to give up on a band

 

1. Mother Nature
2. War Paint
3. Reach For The Sun
4. All That is Left of the Blue Sky
5. Self-Titled
6. Golden Record.
7. If Only You Could Keep Me Alive

 

Which song is the one where he sounds like Chad Kroeger because I hate that one

 

Most days I think Catholic Girls and Infinite are their best songs. Where I want to be and starting over up there as well

 

Mother Nature
Reach for the Sun
War Paint
Self Titled
If Only You Could Keep Me Alive
All That’s Left
Golden Record

 

The self-titled is honestly extremely solid. Obviously it’ll never be in their top 3 but it’s still a great entry in their catalog.

- Mother Nature
- RFTS
- War Paint
- Self Titled
- Golden Record

RFTS means so much to me but MN is my first album I’m reaching for currently as I rank these today.

 

The lyrics on War Paint just put it above everything else. Reach for the Sun definitely has its moments too, but the entirety of WP is just next tier.

 

Mother Nature
Reach for the Sun
Warpaint
Golden Record
All That’s Left
Self titled
If Only

Warpaint and Reach could switch on any given day

 

1. War Paint
2. RFTS

big gap


3. Mother Nature
4. IYCOKMA (this is higher than it should be because Disconnect is one of my favorite songs of all time)
5. Golden Record
6. Self Titled (Infinite and Color are two of my favorite songs in their discog but the rest of that record does nothing for me)

 

Miles Apart is great too, never understood the hate for Golden Record.

RFTS
Mother Nature
Golden Record
War Paint
Self Titled
IYCOKMA
ATILOTBS

 

Golden Record also has Ben's best drumming and drum sound. Holy shit does the kit sound good. Listen to the complete song here (drowning) if ya haven't heard it in a while fam, the drums at the end are nuts

 

Mother Nature is the only one I love all the way through

 

1. Reach For the Sun
2. Mother Nature

Don't really care about the rest.

 

TDS is one of my favorites right now so why not. Definitely check out their post-hiatus work.

1. Mother Nature
2. Reach for the Sun
3. Self Titled
4. War Paint
5. All That is Left of the Blue Sky
5. Golden Record
6. If You Could Only...

 

War Paint >>>>>

 

1. Reach for the Sun
2. War Paint
3. Mother Nature
4. Self Titled

huge gap

5. Golden Record

First 3 are really the only ones I go back to often. I can never shake reading AJ do an interview where he wanted to sound like LJG in Against Me! for his performance on Golden Record. That was... a bad idea.

 

1 - War Paint
2 - Mother Nature
3 - Reach For the Sun
4 - All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky
5 - Golden Record

gap

6 - Self Titled
7 - If You Could Only Keep Me Alive

 

TDS is one of the weird/unique bands for me where I found them just before Golden Record came out and became obsessed with the first two albums and they happened to come along with me on a trip across the country so a lot of great memories are connected to those albums, on top of those being very fun and great albums.

But after that I didn’t really connect with Golden Record outside of 2-3 songs and then I completely forgot about this band / disconnected from them. Tried to get back into them when they came back but likely didn’t give any of the albums time to sink in. Maybe I’ll do a discography run before the new album comes out and see if anything connects with me this time around but right now this is a band where I love two of their albums and have no idea what else / how much else they’ve even released.

 

I have a similar feel…but I didn’t connect with War Paint either. LOVED Reach for the sun, can’t really gel with the rest. The drums on reach for the sun are great and then it got a little too “straightforward” after

 

I'd definitely Give Mother Nature a few tries

 

First impressions in this week’s newsletter.

 

I am so curious what the lyric is now, haha

 

Right? What kind of lyric could be so controversial? Looking forward to the album but I’ll be paying attention for this.
