Christmas album out today.

 

Not gonna listen until I'm more in the mood for the season, but curious to see what they've done with it.

 

Same! I cant bring myself to get excited for Christmas for at least a few more weeks. Looking forward to playing this around the house though!

 

Anyone check out the re-recorded Beautiful Letdown yet?

 

Not the whole thing in it's entirety - but have checked out several songs. I think they sound great - warm and mostly true to the originals but you can hear a bit of the age/progression in Jon's voice - which I certainly think has it's own charm. Love this band.

 

I was just bouncing around to my favorites too. The updated lyrics at the end of "Gone" definitely threw me off, and the differences in the mix and performances really stand out since I know the original so well. I agree that it sounds pretty good, but I also doubt I'll ever put it on over the original.

 

The boys did a fun little interview with setlist.fm talking about the beautiful letdown era. Can't wait to see them on this tour.

I’m really intrigued to hear this deluxe re-record of The Beautiful Letdown where they’ve got lots of other artists to record songs from the album too. Just a great concept.

 

They got a lot of big names for that. Cool to see how wide the influence of that album is.

I can just imagine how good Noah Gundersen sounds doing “This Is Your Life” but I haven’t really engaged with his music at all since the allegations.

 

Yeah that feature I feel conflicted on.

Most excited to hear what Relient K have put together. I always love Sleeping at Last too.

 

I'm not usually a fan of cover albums but this is a super interesting collection of artists. Can't wait.

For those playing catch up this is being released 9/15.

 

Reviving this thread to say In Bloom might be my favorite release Jon has ever been part of. Easily my favorite solo venture and I really like The Wonderlands.
