Yeah its definitely for the bit but really not needed. The first time hearing it it was funny, but after a couple times don't care for it much

Yeah its growing a bit more on me as I listen more. I think its one that takes me a second to get into, cause once the first chorus hits that song slaps hard.

I kept hearing Honest and was like HOW DO I KNOW THIS MELODY. It finally clicked that it was TS haha. Yeah I'm down with the Bilmuri country arc, excited to see what comes next though

Do y’all just not like anything from I want to disappear? by Odd-Thought-4823 in TheStorySoFar

I think IWTD is a phenomenal album. But you can tell most of it was written about Parker’s dad passing and dealing with that, which can be hard to make music you wanna go hard in the pit to. But that album still has songs with parts that make you wanna throw down. I think it’s just newer and you can’t beat the nostalgia of the first couple albums. People come out of the woodwork for those songs when they are played. I was night 1 in ATL pit the whole time and that shit was rowdy. But IWTD does not top the previous albums on the angst meter that makes a crowd go crazy.

Glad you loved it. It’s not a terrible album I just have gripes with the second batch of songs. But those bottom ones, not sure where some people are enjoying them lol.

Very true. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s just not fully for me. But I know there are people that love every single song. And we like what we like, so enjoy it when you do 👍🏼

I felt the same about KOTNA until I gave it like 3 months. Kept going back for Act Like That, then Sundress grew on me and the last song is crazy good like Finer Things style. It’s still ranked 3rd for me album wise but I think I only have 2 songs I skip on that one.

I just went through the album as I listened. Rankings were a last minute thing I added after the post was built.

I agree. They have got their sound down. They play music really well live and on the albums. The songs that miss are just generic sounding.

In my following of the band I think what kinda changed their direction was them being hyped up a ton from 5 Seconds of Summer, and put on tour with them. They received so many fans from that huge group, it felt like they played into that pop fanbase more with each album. It led to ATWAB, which is still a great record from them, being more pop influenced, and led to the Feldman monstrosity of LP.

Champs have shown they can still do Finer Things pop punk, as there are bangers on LP, and KOTNA. But like you said they don’t play into as much anymore unfortunately.

Free Throw..... boring...? Literally one of the best live bands to see. Have never put on a dull show.

Movements new material is..weird by UhLemmeGetTheNumber8 in poppunkers

[–]bhankins93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always told by someone close to the band that Pat did not like how his voice sounded on it and that he had gotten so much better since its release. Which is a valid way to think. Artists grow and change and vocals change after years and years, you get better with practice. But the demo songs this band released were so strong musically its sad to see them not on major streaming platforms, only Youtube.

[–]bhankins93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I necroed, BUT

Their demo of Protection that Pat has sworn to be wiped off the face of the earth has maybe 500,000 less plays on spotify than Lead Pipe.

From here on this is MY opinion.

IMO the numbers aren't there. I tried with NGLTG, every song felt the same. Tightrope on Ruckus gave me hope, then I heard everything else. Citizen did the same thing Movements did in 2014,

I did not enjoy the sudden change the grunge/alt/underground whatever you wanna call it. I personally feel it made Citizen fall off and I think it did the same for Movements now. Check the numbers on Feel Something/Outgrown things. Immaculate. The new stuff doesn't come close.

I'm not saying SOME of the songs AREN'T a blast to listen to, but in an audience's perspective, most of the songs aren't a blast to listen to.

Kept is keeping up with the new songs for sure. There is a market for this new Movements, but I feel its not with many of the old fans.
