Relient K Band • Page 40

Seen them twice since Air for Free and still haven't heard "Man" live though. Beautiful song

 

Cool. You probably live somewhere other than the Northwest. RK rarely comes here and when they do, it's our one opportunity to see songs...we don't get the repeat performances every other part of the country gets...not bitter or anything ;)

 

Well I stand corrected then. Their tour routing also seems to hit your part of the country with great frequency (Ohio, your next door neighbor), but perhaps Indiana is a blindspot for them in that area for some reason...I live in Idaho and have to drive 6 hours to see them in Seattle if they ever come...so yeah. Ohio roadtrip ftw. :)

That idaho music scene struggle is real and i feel ya

 

MT too

 

Has a studio recording of Must Have Done Something Roght Acoustic ever been released?

 

No, it's a unreleased acoustic from the session they did for their label back when Five Score was recorded (not the Capitol Studio sessions). Will pair nicely with Up and Up and Fallen Man studio acoustics.

 

Awesome! Wonder if it has alternate lyrics like the others.

 

Also, double post but according to their social media accounts, looks like we can expect an Earth Day EP today...they sent out a happy Earth Day message and said to keep an eye open at 2 PM EST/11 AM PST

 

it's just a single but it's a free dl on their site: Welcome

 

Well that was fun.

 

Jamming Forget and Not Slow Down

 

Still need to spin my vinyl thx for the reminder

 

forgot how much i enjoyed this bands discography but hey Bummin came on shuffle and now im knee deep in the RK catalog

 

Hoopes posted a spotify playlist this morning, featuring the likes of After Laughter and A Black Mile to the Surface. Made me happy.

 

i know this is like the hottest of takes but Mmhmm is my favorite RK album and i think AFF might be my second favorite

 

Not too hot, Mmhmm, AFF, and Forget are a lot of people's top 3, in any order

 

Forget is quite easily the best imo

 

FANSD is wonderful as well. i just have a nostalgic attachment to Mmhmm but i cant deny that FANSD/AFF are better albums. Five Score is also wonderful and i know @SpyKi is a big fan of that one. Two Lefts is good but not quite on the level of the others and ive come around to CL but its my least favorite of the Two Lefts-AFF run. dont care much for the first two. The EPs are varying degrees of good and the Creepier EPer is my favorite.

something i love about this band is their albums can seem daunting just because each album has at least 14 tracks but they dont really put any filler in them and theyre pretty good at using that time to experiment or diversify their songwriting

 

Yeah Five Score is prolly tied with AFF for my no 2. FANSD is easy tops for me.

They're a very cool band and I'm excited to hear what they do next after AFF.

 

I'd say FANSD is still my favourite. Mmhmm and Air For Free are both fantastic too.

Can't believe that Five Score celebrated its ten year anniversary earlier this year. Time flies.

 

Also Empty House might be my favourite RK song now. It's perfectttt.

 

Great song.

It's definitely up there.

 

Right, because I have a spare 10 minutes at work... I think my favourite songs from each album would be:

Self-titled: Softer to me
Anatomy: Sadie Hawkins Dance
Two Lefts: From End To End
Mmhmm: Let It All Out or When I Go Down
Five Score: Up and Up or Deathbed
FANSD: Sahara
Collapsible Lung: Don't Blink
Air For Free: Empty House

...and that's not including all their EPs, Christmas releases, B-sides and covers. Wow, they've got such an extensive discography. I know there was an annoying silence for a few years before Air For Free but when you consider how long they've been around you can kind of justify it.
