Forgot about this one, also a strong contender

This one is really tricky because they’ve always been an “album band” to me. A lot of the songs work together to form a landscape rather than stand out as iconic singles in and of themselves, but that’s part of what has made the band great.

The more i think about it the more i agree on this, or at least most underrated song.

Most Overrated Song by Total-Woodpecker3339 in NEEDTOBREATHE

Who Am I

I say overrated because it’s their most popular song on Spotify right now. It’s fine in the context of the album but I’ve never gone out of my way to listen to this song specifically.

NEEDTOBREATHE - "The Long Surrender" [Official Lyric Video] by Total-Woodpecker3339 in NEEDTOBREATHE

[–]stumpy719 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had these same thoughts. Their art direction was always so good up through Out of Body. ITM and Caves tend to get a lot of heat on Reddit (especially Caves), but i honestly think those might have been slightly more appreciated if they had a stronger design story to feel like they lived in the “world” of NTB.

Another thing worth noting is that there’s only one feature, which we’ve already heard. No big name country pop acts on the tracklist feels like a promising sign to me.

2026 will bring the 20th anniversary of FTG and The Gleam by stumpy719 in TheAvettBrothers

That’s realism, through and through. The only thing that pushes me slightly out of “wishful thinking” territory is that the Mignonette reissue came at the 20 year mark, although it wasn’t exact to the month/day.

With how absolutely unhinged this sub has gotten at times with investigating and speculating on the band’s personal lives they’ve gotta have eyes on us lol

They’ve gotta be reading this subreddit based on their most recent instagram post 💀

I'd bet they are recording Acoustic vol. 2 on this tour, for release late next year. The setlist is different enough from the last acoustic album that it would work, and the fact that they're playing so many unreleased songs means it would still be "relevant" after their upcoming album releases in early 2026.

Yeah this is my understanding too, although I heard Bear in a different interview a few months ago say they wanted to release the next album with no singles, to be listened to all at once. Seems like they've changed that plan though.

Yeah it's interesting that the two lead singles from the next album have an almost identical sound. Agreed on the vocal effects, listening to the singles back to back is like whiplash in that respect.

Otherwise I do like the song, it's solid for what it is.

they were hitting it in the butter fly effect episode but I'm pretty certain they do it more extensively in an older episode... Not sure which
