Better Lovers - Highly Irresponsible (October 25, 2024) • Page 7

This shit is so good

 

This rips. Really digging it

 

Really dug the slower tempo tracks(Deliver Us, At All Times), and am keen to keep revisiting this.

 

At All Times rules

 

Greg's voice has not aged even a day, it's wild

 

holy fuck Drowning In A Burning World lmao. it's like Maylene and the Sons of Disaster on speed

 

Beachball variant showed back up on their store so I got that

 

Admittedly took me a while for the EP to click for me but this absolutely rules. Need to hear these live.

 

On first listen it sounds like the step between Ex-Lives and From Part’s Unknown.

Not a big fan of the singing right now. But when Greg really screams I enjoy it.

 

I feel like I can hear some of the AiC/Cantrell influence in his clean singing now (which would make sense)

 

Got a couple listens in. This album is cool, but i don’t love Greg’s singing parts. I feel like the EP was relentless with riffs and energy, this feels more like them establishing this band as its own thing. stoked to hear the progression even if it’s not my favorite from them. excited to see the body of work as it keeps evolving. There’s some killer parts on this album though.

 

I did not fully appreciate this band when they first debuted despite loving all of the members' previous bands but holy fucking christ this album ripped my face off

 

this is exactly where i'm at with this album.

 

Add in some industrial electronics and Deliver Us from Life is a long lost Ire Works track - so fucking sick

 

growing on me on even the second listen, the second half of this thing goes ballistic

 

Not sure how I missed that alternate cover variant of the vinyl.

 

Ok, if Lie Between The Lines would have been released as a single I would have been pissed. lol. That was such a great surprise of an opening track.

(serious stankface)

 

Major Alice In Chains vibes on Deliver Us From Life

 

My vinyl shipped yay

 

Footage from Rough Trade show looked insane lol

 

I already have 11 front to back spins on this. So many standout moments throughout - Greg continues to somehow be a monster vocal wise after decades of screaming his head off. My voice would be gone after a day

 

great workout album, rips hard, high fives all around

 

The breakdown at the end of Drowning is comically similar to the one at the end of Glitches

 

For the most part them adding a little bit of a Dillinger or Etid song is kind of neat, I think there is a section somewhere on the album that greg finishes a screaming section that sounds like how he ends Farewell mona lisa.
