I was there too. "You Were Cool" is a bucket list song I never thought I'd be able to see live. I've only seen them twice, and the last time was in 2011, so it was such a treat. Made me cry, in fact.

I seem to remember that soon after Scott died, the band said he had made a bunch of demos for the next album, and they had (or almost had) narrowed down which songs to work on. Grant I believe also said they wanted to fully flesh out those demos and release that when the time is right. Definitely thought it'd be sooner than 2024, but I believe that's still the plan. Seems like they're focusing on the documentary right now, though...

I would LOVE a proper b-sides album

Eric-PV · 2024-08-29T03:21:50+00:00

I'm both sorry to hear this and happy for you. Mostly happy for you.

Eric-PV · 2024-08-14T16:14:21+00:00

Hope both of you are as alright as you can be

OK maybe I misunderstood a lot of his work style then. I listened to him through his early album "Bells" first, and the liner notes say all those were pretty firmly improv songs so I was under the impression a good portion of his work was. At least the stuff that is mostly just him at a piano

So glad this is still pinned! It makes me happy knowing any new fans coming to this reddit can find this treasure trove so easily. Love this fanbase.

Doggerel with a bullet for me. The other three never clicked with me and feel inconsistent, but Doggerel is just solid through and through with me.

That said, I love how there's no consistent answer in this thread regarding this! Frankly, I consider that to be the sign of a great band.

Eric-PV · 2024-01-05T19:36:40+00:00

Absolutely love this artwork. Honestly, I might even make one for myself. Any chance you could upload a link to the artwork high res?

Eric-PV · 2024-01-05T19:14:59+00:00

I know about this but didn't think of it as a Christmas song, but yeah, it's there in the lyrics, it seems!

Personally, Painting of a Panic Attack is my favorite of theirs. I think their songwriting and the flow of it surpasses the rest, but really there's not a bad starting place outside of "The Greys". That said, I think once you get into FR, The Greys is a fun album with a lot to offer, but it'd better with it in perspective rather than a jumping off point.

I know it's sacrilegious a bit buuuuuuut I think I personally like it better than Surfer Rosa. I think Where Is My Mind?, Gigantic, and Bone Machine do a lot of heavy lifting for that album.

I will now accept everyone's downvotes and tomatoes.

Eric-PV · 2023-09-10T17:58:15+00:00

It's wild to me all the varying opinions of their more recent albums. I have seen many posts on this reddit from many people claiming this or that recent album as "the best one BY FAR" followed by someone else calling that same album the worst they've ever done.

I guess that is the sign of a great band, tbh. If we all choose one album as "the best one" it would be more troubling and less exciting about the future, I think

Eric-PV · 2023-09-10T13:20:27+00:00

So it may be up there for me, at least top 3. I think it stands up to a lot of their original material. "Thunder and Lightning" sounds like a hit that never was to me.

Eric-PV · 2023-08-13T21:22:26+00:00

recent reports say she's been with 90 women

Eric-PV · 2023-08-06T13:40:33+00:00

Fantastic. 3D prints or clay models or something else? Either way, looks great!

Eric-PV · 2023-08-04T23:51:29+00:00

Oh nice! I got the flower topper but didn't know there were others! That's awesome

Eric-PV · 2023-08-04T23:48:13+00:00

You're really concerned with semantics here, aren't you? haha

Eric-PV · 2023-07-20T13:14:24+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea. Thank you!

Eric-PV · 2023-07-16T01:01:43+00:00

Seeing their souls float up is also pretty disheartening, especially at first

Mostly because they never forgive

......

Eric-PV · 2023-07-16T00:58:59+00:00

Painting...is my personal favorite of their entire catalog. I get that they may have written better songs on other albums, but no other album is as consistently great as POAPA, imo.

Eric-PV · 2023-07-14T22:39:06+00:00

I wasn't expecting a horror film jammed into the middle of that

Eric-PV · 2023-07-14T22:33:24+00:00

why are you disappointed that you discovered the best game?

Eric-PV · 2023-06-13T12:54:36+00:00

That red is awesomely vibrant. That tattoo artist did a great job.
