mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 95

Okay, I'm on my third listen through and it's really all coming together more and more.

The only song I'm not feeling that much is [dormouse sighs] but if it's anything like past mewithoutYou songs I didn't dig much at first, it will eventually become my favorite on the album, haha

 

i am team album version of winter solstice. both amazing tho.

 

mwY albums are always growers for me, so I’m going to withhold judgment until I get a few more listens in. But after my first listen, I feel like this is not so different from the EP. Dirty Air, Cities of the Plain, and August 6 would fit fine on this record. Maybe Existential Dread too.

 

The coda in [dormouse sighs] is just... fucking godly.

 

Did Yip do this record?

 

Yep.

 

So was I right or was it right?

 

just got to the guitar solo on matadors. I HAVE ASCENDED TO ANOTHER DIMENSION.

 

What a crowning achievement for him too. People used to knock his production pretty hard but I can't imagine this sounding any better.

 

Yip*

 

2,459 Miles is heartbreaking.

 

yeah yip fucking killed it

 

the tortoises all the way down outro ya'll

 

New Wine, New Skin vocals are pure bliss. Mad props to Aaron, his vocals used to turn me off to this band (I know, I know) but there are moments where his vocals are straight up beautiful then moments where he sounds like Bannon from Converge.

 

this is one of the most exploratory rock records i've ever heard, i'm so glad y'all are hearing it now

 

band can do no wrong

 

2,459 Miles definitely would have fit on the ep. I think it acts as a great transition into the final act of the album though. I was not ready for Wendy & Betsy.

 

im trying to get through my first listen at work but my coworker wont stop talking to me.

not ideal.

 

but holy fire that intro!

anyone listening want a brain washed like mine?

 

so many songs on here had me thinking "that was a great mewithoutYou song" and then something crazy happens in the last minute and i change to "THAT WAS AN ALL TIME GREAT MWY SONG" (looking at you, new wine).

 

finished my second listen and liked it more than the first, and I still love the singles and Winter Solstice more in context of the album

 

Tortoises as well.

 

He got alot better with Amulet and Good Nature last year. Those albums sound really good. He wasnt quite there yet with Pale Horses.

 

Michael too. Might be the most heartwrenching thing Aaron has ever written

 

someday i'll find me
