Fireworks - Higher Lonely Power (January 1, 2023) Album • Page 38

man this is so good. just listened for the first time, dont know what has or hasnt been discussed so far but I hear a lot of manchester vibes in a few songs. great stuff.

 

Yeah I hear it especially in Jerking Off the Sky

 

How Did It Used to Be So Easy makes me want a full The War on Fireworks/Wild Fireworks album

 

yeah i cant stop listening to this

 

just keeps getting better

 

Don't know if someone else said this, but "Goodnight Tomb" has big Steel Train energy

 

blood in the milk gonna my song of the year

 

Goodnight Tomb and Woods II are both up there for me as well, but yeah I don't think anything is topping Blood in the Milk

 

A very strong start to 2023.

 

What an incredible comeback album

 

lyrics for a song haven't hit me that hard in a long time

 

My only complaint so far: I wish the lead guitar was way higher in the mix on the back half of mega church.

 

they were playing this album at Brain Dead in LA yesterday, I felt so powerful

 

This is still getting heavy rotation. 3/4 times a week minimum really. I did not expect to like this even half as much as I do.

 

After having a few weeks with this, I've determined this album is the worst




















thing to listen to when you're already deeply depressed.

 

I mean it's not exactly a cheery album.

 

It's less depressing than I was expecting, tbh.

 

Listening to Foxing's Draw Down the Moon and realized 737 kicks off that album similarly to this one, and is just as much (if not more) of an outlier to the rest of that album.

 

Speaking of, I think if you took “Start a Religion” and slightly tweaked the production, it would feel right at home on foxing’s last record.

 

Still very much in love with this album. I had no idea they had songs like this in them. And yeah, echoing the comment that it's not as depressing as it seems like it could be. Definitely has a strong current of pushing back against darkness/not letting darkness win.

 

The closing track is the only one that really hits me on the ol depression spot

 

Does anyone feel anything anymore?

bee-bee-dee dumdumdumdumdum

 

Keeps getting better, fantastic album

 

This band’s work never really clicked with me until this album but I absolutely love this, so much that it’s going to be hard for anything else to top it this year I think. ‘I Want to Start a Religion With You’, ‘Blood in the Milk’ and ‘How Did It Used To Be So Easy’ are all-timers.
