The Wonder Years Band • Page 169

You should make a left and leave amirite

 

I mean there’s some good stuff for sure, opener rules, but there’s a lot of really bland pop punk that I thought they aged out of with no closer to heaven at least

 

It's tied with TGG for me some days. Sometimes not, but a band like that should feel lucky to have one masterpiece in them and one that comes close nearly a decade later.

 

Eh. Hum feels like a collection of songs that perfectly showcase what this band does best.

 

I feel Sister Cities has much lower replayability than Hum for me, just because it's so sad and dense and I don't always want that from The Wonder Years (although they are so good at it).

 

insane that they havent done a major support tour in 11 years. insane.

 

I still think Hum is their weakest post-GSOI record and that's after many, many tries to get into after seeing y'all's love for it.

Songs About Death and Cardinals II are actually insta-skips for me which is something I can't say I have much of an issue with in the rest of the catalog

 

(Still seeing them on their tour with Menzingers to be clear)

 

My two favorites on the record lol.

 

Cardinals II is a perfect song. On first listen the reuse of the Cardinals riff floored me and then the bridge was one of the most euphoric music listening moments of my life. The crescendo is unbelievable. It's heavy and catchy, a showcase of everything that makes the band great imo.
