The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 18

A remastered NCTH would be shake up my rankings significantly. Some essential TWY tracks on that bad boy

 

If NCTH was remastered, it'd be my new #4. I still think the tracklist is uneven, tbh. I have a re-ordered version on my Apple Music that I listen to more than the actual album haha.

 

You guys got me to listen to NCTH again. Man the first 8 tracks on this thing is unfuckwithable. Plus You In January. Hope we do get that remix/remaster, because that does really drag it down a notch.

 

OK, now I'm curious

 

Yes please share that rearranged track list!

 

This is how I listen to the record! I think it flows MUCH better and has more satisfying ebbs and flows, personally:

Brothers &
Cardinals
A Song for Ernest Hemingway
I Don't Like Who I Was Then
The Bluest Things on Earth
Thanks for the Ride
A Song for Patsy Cline
Stained Glass Ceilings
Palm Reader
You in January
I Wanted So Badly to Be Brave
Cigarettes & Saints
No Closer to Heaven

 

U said it

 

Just take NCTH off all together I can definitely see the record being better this way

 

Naw NCTH is a great closer, an epilogue almost

 

Compromise: Make it a hidden track with 30 minutes of silence preceding it like the good old days

 

it's right actually

 

This.

 

Rightfully ass
