Every Time I Die - Low Teens (Sept. 23, 2016) Album • Page 55

Probably gonna land in my top 5 this year. Still love this a lot and think it's their best

 

Petal is a finalist for my SOTY. And The Coin Has a Say is still top 10 or 20

 

I never do aoty because I'm bad at picking a favorite but this is the obvious winner in 2016 for me. I still find new things to love about it with almost every listen.

 

My AOTY for sure.

 

I really need to learn how to play "Two Summers" on guitar. Sounds like so much fun.

 

Yea this is #1 for me this year, amazing all the way through

 

Driving my dad's car and listening to the Sirius Liquid Metal station and Coin came on and I can't recall the last time I lost my shit listening to the radio lol.

 

Tour - The Low Teens Tour: Every Time I Die, Knocked Loose, Harms Way, Eternal Sleep

 

Holy shit a tour with not shitty bands??

 

This is three days away from Code Orange where I am - think If I gotta choose (I do) I'm going to this god damn. Also already seen Code Orange too

Look two posts above you

 

Yes, they're playing the Middle East! I'm buying tickets the moment they go on sale.

 

Seeing them tonight in a bowling alley... they'd had better play elolarama.

 

Thinking about going...

 

Just got this lovely piece of news in my inbox.


It's happening!

 

Does that mean stores have the complete version too? I've passed on picking it up a couple times cuz I wasn't sure if it was the defective version.

 

Yeah I would love to pick this up on vinyl once I know it's the actual tracklisting

 

Just got mine too! I need to get to work on my project of turning the defective version into a clock.

 

This has definitely given me an idea of what to do with my defective copy of Caspian's Dust & Disquiet, thank you

 

I fucking love this album so much

 

Was going through the mid-to-late career ETID albums a bunch the past couple days (NJA through FPU) and as much as I love those albums, I think Low Teens is so good that it's in an entire class by itself when talking about ETID's discography. I mean, how many bands put out their best album eight albums in?? That's rarefied air.

 

I've been learning a bunch of the songs in Drop C lately, so Map Change, It Remembers, Coin, and Just as Real. The last two are in particular an absolute blast.

 

I don't understand how Andy and Jordan write the riffs that they do. I don't know how to explain it, but it's like they're in this weird zone between something technical yet chaotic like Converge or Dillinger and the more straightforward style of something like Motörhead or Pantera. It makes their riffs juuuust hard enough to learn that it's a challenge but still fun enough to just bang your head to. And they're writing their best riffs 8 albums in, which is incredible.

 

I think that's a perfect way to describe it. I've been playing guitar over a decade now but only play a few times a week, so for me figuring out the songs is a bit difficult at first, but once I learn them I can get in the groove quick. Even most of their faster, more difficult riffs (Underwater Bimbos, Coin come to mind) are either on the low E, in the same vicinity across the three low strings, or involve a bunch of hammer ons/pull offs. Something I really appreciate not being able to dedicate as much time to playing guitar as I'd like anymore.

 

i love them and find them much more enjoyable to listen to than DEP (not so much converge though it's close) but the guitars in this band are nowhere near DEP really. Ben is like a theory/jazz genius and the mathy/time signature shifts he writes aren't really touched by andy or jordan's stuff. for better or worse. like i said, i like this and more. just very different styles.
