Spanish Love Songs - No Joy (August 25, 2023) • Page 29

hot mulligan is good and also spanish love songs are opening for them so you could have left before hot mulligan so this entire post makes no sense!

 

I like Hot Mulligan a lot more than SLS but they're both good and it's going to be a great concert (outside of Heart Attack Man)!

 

The HM UK tour doesn't have Heart Attack Man so that issue resolves itself nicely

 

Really wish HAM wasn’t on the show or were before SLS.

 

I'm feverishly angry about it.

 

Ah, shit, are they after SLS?

 

Ben quad is on the tour too (for my date at least)! Those three bands are gonna be a great combo

yes it goes bq > sls > ham > hm

 

Finally listened to this and liked it a lot!

 

Finally opened up my vinyl and gave this a listen in that format for the first time, from my couch, with the windows open on this very nice day in Maine before humidity rolls in again. A lovely experience.

 

Honestly kinda wild to me people complain about the vocals cause I feel like I'm pretty sensitive to grating vocals and theirs have never crossed my mind in that way

 

I think it’s a great album, but don’t think it’s better than BFE and certainly not better than Schmaltz. I think his voice just suits better in a punk rock context, combined with their lyrics. And I think the B-side isn’t as strong as side A, it kinda drags towards the end for me (and I don’t like the last song very much, besides the STREET-part).
Nonetheless, it’a amazing how they have created four great albums that all sound different than the one before. And Clean-Up Crew is one of the best songs of the year. Fantastic band.

 

Gave this another spin tonight, and I think I can confidently say Clean Up Crew, Here You Are, and Pendulum are my top 3 here.

 

i think his vocals are phenomenal i just wish his delivery had more variety to it but its a minor complaint that doesnt bother me

 

I saw them last night in Glasgow supporting Hot Mulligan. I'm a relatively passive SLS listener, but I am glad I went down earlier for them. They sounded great, I was really impressed. Sign me up for that headline UK tour!

 

I know the front half of this is loaded, but I'm digging the back half more and more. Rapture Chaser is so good

 

The character studies in Rapture Chaser, Haunted and Middle of Nine are fucking great, I love when Dylan shifts to that mode.

 

Finally picked my vinyl copy up from my local shop, and it was cool to hear how much the guy working loves the album.

 

I saw them on Friday in Leeds. Great show and the new songs sounded fantastic. Already got a pre-sale ticket for the headline tour in January - it's nice that they're taking their time to get over here regularly.

 

Review's up!

Spanish Love Songs, “No Joy”

 

Did anyone else receive a signed thank you for your pre-order post card from the band? I got one in the mail yesterday. Made me smile.

 

Yeah, I got one the other day. I didn't know if I missed something when I preordered or if it was just kind of supposed to be a surprise. It was fun though!

 

I am absolutely enthralled with this album.

 

These are nice numbers for them. Better than what I would expect.

 

This band deserves all the success that comes their way. So damn good
