The Early November - Lilac (September 27, 2019) Album • Page 39

I love TEN and everything Ace but I haven't been able to get into this album at all.

 

This ended up sneaking up very high on my top 10 of the year list

 

This album ended up being my least favorite TEN record ever. I’m sure it’ll grow on me in a few years but I highly doubt it’ll grow on me enough to enjoy it on the same level as past TEN records.

What a bummer after waiting 4 years.

 

Lilac is arguably my favorite album of theirs. Prior to this it was TMTMTP and even In Currents was right up there...but at this point of my life, I'd definitely rather listen to this type of TEN than those two albums.

This album was easily a top 3 album for me in 2019.

 

this is a lovely album. My second favorite of theirs.

 

I haven’t really had much desire to return to this tbh. I’m sure I Will eventually tho and really enjoy it when I do, but who knows when that’ll be. TMTMTP still reigns supreme.

 

I forget this even came out, tbh. Not sure I even made it through the whole thing. Not because it was terrible; just unmemorable. Will revisit at some point.

 

The initial hype for this died off pretty quickly for me. Perfect Sphere is still a great song, but nothing else really held up for me.

 

I really want to like this but it does nothing for me. The vocal effect when he sings "if I got hit by a car" is especially cringe-worthy and I skip that song because of it.

 

Still think he sounds like Spongebob in Comatose

 

y'all wild

 

Still really like this a whole lot any time I return to it. Definitely suffers from spotty production, but I think the songs still do well by capturing the spirit of TEN through a 2019 lense

 

Same. Listened to it this morning, as a matter of fact. My Weakness is a jam.

 

Great album

 

I just feel like Ace wanted to sing more on this record as opposed to his typical full-throat.

 

Loved the album.

 

Yeah I think it's great. Probably tied with Imbue for my second fav TEN.

 

idk where it falls in line really with their other records but I'm glad it exists and some of the songs really hit hard with me

 

Our Choice is easily my fav. Cracking song.

 

I haven't revisited this in a few months, so I'm curious to see how it holds up for me. Perfect Sphere and You Own My Mind are top tier TEN tracks though.

 

It’s Fame for me, but You Own My Mind and I Dissolve are not far behind

 

Comatose is an absolute jam, too. This record is fantastic!

 

This ended the year as my no.3 and probably could be no.2. Idk, this feels like the record ace was always supposed to make.

 

If anyone is on North Jersey tonight

 

I wrote about The World We Know, which turns 10 this month:
