I'll say that when I met the band after a show, they could not have been nicer and more down to earth. During the set they were asking who wanted...
I was in university when The Upsides dropped. Now I have two kids. Thanks TWY.
I honestly like all 3 new singles better than any song on Sister Cities. And I like Sister Cities.
I know the intro was muted deliberately but it's almost too loud so it just sounds bad and then when the proper mix kicks in it doesn't have the...
Okay fine Bar bands Swinging Devil in my bloodstream Cigs and saints Pyramids Only one you could change my mind on would be Upsides.
Also I haven't read the P4k piece yet but that's awesome. A decade ago when I got right into Pitchfork, the idea of them taking music from our...
Suburbia is still my favourite but I can agree the absolute sweet spot for their sound arrived on TGG. And judging by the sound of this new one so...
I swear he said the same about the closer on the last album haha. Absolutely psyched for this. One of my favourite bands ever but Sister Cities...
This is definitely my number 1, followed by Cold Years.
Oldest Daughter was definitely a great lead single. Second song that sets the expectations a bit more is a fine approach if you ask me, especially...
His best solo album since We All Want The Same Things. Opener and Never Any Horses are my early favourites. Hard to think of a better indie rock...
This album is fantastic, one of the best I've heard all year. Super catchy and accessible, got a shout out on Indiecast pod, I'm sure I've seen...
I voted for Splinter. One of the first albums I ever bought. Thought it was awesome. Race Against Myself is a great deep cut. I haven't listened...
Had a break then revisited this today, it's really great. Outside of the opener and closer, Never Coming Back was the big standout for me. What a...
Loving both songs so far. Seem less overwhelmingly dark than Sister Cities. I know that album kind of has a matured version of the Upsides arc...
In terms of bands whose best songs are singles and hence their quintessential album is a greatest hits comp... may I suggest for discussion: Foo...
Agreed Cc @Craig Manning
Best song on the album by some margin
It's mixed intentionally like that and to my ears it sounds huge but I have trouble hearing the lyrics. Which is not ideal on first listen but...
Yeah I'm in Australia and it was pretty similar. Oh Love got some airplay but nothing major. There would be some exceptions but for the most part...
Unsure if it's just me but it felt like pop punk and emo were exploding into the mainstream in 2004 and American Idiot asserted itself as the top...
I have always felt like almost every song on 21CBD is really good but none top tier. I haven't tried ranking their work but doubt any 21CBD songs...
As long as you had fun that's all that matters. I think you may have put more thought into the Trilogy than the band did hahaha.
Love the thought here. No Stay The Night? Probably the standout from the entire Trilogy for me.
Yeah that song is amazing, rest of the album lacked staying power for me outside of the opener and April Fool. Their best song will forever remain...
