Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 89

I don’t like Albotross or Dealer. Love this.

 

all 3 are great

 

Actual footage of me listening to their first two records

 

I think nearer my God just had an angsty anthemic feel that I enjoy. I need to give their other stuff more chances but then I compare it to this record and I just wanna listen to this record lol. I'm a sucker for like a good build up to an excellent and rewarding climax (see: GOAT at this premise Jimmy Eat World) which I get with nearer my God. From my recollection of their other stuff I felt like there wasn't as much of an obvious payoff and it was more low-key but that could be my limited rotation of it idek honestly. Just hasn't clicked as readily tho I thought it was fine.

 

Idk dealer is one of my favorite albums of all time and came out exactly three years ago when I began the long hard struggle that I’m currently dealing with in my life

 

This is me. I don’t hate this but I don’t think it’s as incredible as everyone else. It’s just an ok album to me.

 

This is hella random but the main little diddy on Trapped In Dillard’s reminds me a lot of something that would be on this puzzle game I used to play for the 360 called Ilomilo. It’s just super cute and wonky.

 

They've gotten better every album, but Dealer is still a 10/10. NMG is just like an 11/10

 

Yeah I love every album haha

 

I really enjoyed the first two, but this is the first one I love.

 

Hahaha I definitely feel this outside a few tracks

 

The kind of lost me with Dealer (not a bad record, just not really what I was looking for in the band), so I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this and loved it immediately.

 

I haven't listened to this full thing, still, but I've listened to the title track like three times today. I think thats gotta be my favorite foxing song. I really ought to find time to listen to this

 

I really like all 3 albums and how different they are, and I really don't know how I'd rank them

 

nearer my god > dealer > albatross


That was easy

 

Throwing this on right now, for the first time in a month or two (I guess since Palms?).

SHOCK COLLARED AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN!

Gets me every time.

 

idk dealer is one of my favorites of the decade so i wouldn't say it's easy for me to put an album that hasn't even been out 3 months above it.

 

It’s one of my favorites of the decade but I already like this one more

 

I liked Bloodhound and Medic on Albatross

I think its a good rookie album

 

This is a real interesting album, I thought I didn’t like this band because they were some kind of murky atonal post-hardcore, but this reminds me a lot of Everything Everything or Bombay Bicycle Club

 

yeah Dealer is a bit more low key by comparison but thats just what its supposed to be, not to a fault

its sorta post rocky tho so it has alot of the build up/climax kind of parts but maybe its different than what you meant

its also a really great album imo

 

Yeah I need to give it another go. Was going to this morning actually but then I decided to get up thirty minutes before work started so that's my questionable life choices

 

Listening to this album and then going back is so wild because I remember when Night Channels came out and it felt like the hugest, most incredible achievement and it PALES in comparison to anything on here.

 

I think night channels, Eiffel, and glass coughs have a case for best foxing song, but there are no less than like 6 candidates on NMG...
Also really don’t care at all for albatross outside of the medic.

 

this is it chief
