    Stocked/stoked for this! Damn. They’ve never released anything bad imo.

    Sleekest of beaks. So Good.

    Judging by his band Dead Tired he certainly didn't learn to sing.

    Couldn't agree more, the 3 vocalists on the Crisis album was amazing. Still my favorite AOF record.

    Hot take: Dallas Green is one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of our generation.

    Been doing a full discography run-through to hype myself more.

    I love their self titled record way more than I probably should.

    I would have agreed with you about 10 years ago but with how big City & Colour got...not anymore.

    I feel like Americans don’t appreciate the consistency or his history. He got some mainstream attention but not much.

    Hot Take II: Self-titled is the holy grail of that genre.
     
  11. S/T has spectacular post-rock-y / 90's emo-y passages that stopped popping up around Crisis, and for that, it'll always be a special album. The production prevents it from being my favorite though.

    Yeah, I definitely think the production was way better on the three later albums, and they were more refined in general. I still enjoy the self-titled album but it’s easily the one I return to the least frequently.

    My ranking of the albums would be:
    Crisis
    Watch Out!
    OC/YC
    Self titled.

    what a waste of wood

    S/T (I have a Polaroid of a polar bear tattooed on me so this is an obvious choice)
    Watch Out!
    Switcheroo
    Crisis
    OCYC
    DB

    So.... in order of release haha. There’s so little separating their first 3 LPs honestly. Can’t go wrong.

    Should’ve just put S/T = Watch Out!. Don’t think I could choose between the two.
