    I just relistened to ABIIOR the other day and made I’d about 40 seconds into that song before skipping it. Just absolutely awful haha

    Dude ends his social media hiatus just to disparage one of my favorite Notes songs

    This Must Be My Dream doesn’t get enough love from the band either.

    Be My Mistake is one of their worst songs and so far below everything else on that record it's not even funny

    I've got complicated feelings on this band but I think Give Yourself a Try is one of the most important songs I've ever heard.

    I'll write you into all of my songs Supporter

    It's undoubtedly their best song imo. everything about it....the joy division pastiche, earnest lyrics, rock-focused, and just a siren song for a generation

    It's just so fucking empowering, the bookends on ABIIOR are up there as their best songs for me.

    Listening to IAWD(S) and welling up

    'If you can't survive, just try'

    Am a completely different person six years later but this hits like a ton of bricks.

    Hmmm... 2025, Carrow's 1975 redemption arc?

    Not listened to the last two records...

    This song hit me a little too hard in my dad’s final few months, I couldn’t listen to it…

    What Should I Say, brings the energy and has always stood out imo. It's a banger.

    I'm really curious why he feels that way about that song specifically. Maybe it's something to do with the circumstances surrounding making it....? Seems like a random thing to say without giving any context.
