Agreed.

Agreed as well. This album should've had at least 13-15 forbidden beat songs.

One thing I like about The Swellers is they just write the music the like. So if they want to do a slower song, then they will make it. Talking to their singer a while ago he says he always gets kids telling him they miss the faster songs. At least they are not pulling a Thrice...

This is the single dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. Not pulling a Thrice? You think Thrice plays music they don't want to play? You think people didn't tell Thrice to re-make Illusions 1000 times? Or re-make Artist? Or re-make Vheissu? Think before you speak.

I think he just meant that at least The Swellers are still playing music that can be appreciated by most of their existing fanbase, unlike Thrice who became an entirely different band from one album to the next and alienated a lot of people along the way.

I miss your band. A lot. I still wear my Much The Same shirt and people always just tell me, "I don't get it."

Anthony_A (September 30, 2009)

That is exactly what I meant. Thank you Gunner! I find it ironic that as I'm reading this I'm wearing my Much the Same shirt. Crazy.

But yes. I was one of those people who became alienated when Thrice changed their sound.

by pulling a thrice do you mean getting better with every album?

can anyone tell me, on excel, how to make it so a heading you have across the tops of the first couple rows, how you can get that to stay there and still show up when you scroll down past the first page?

Highlight the row under the last row you wish to keep visible. So if you want rows 1-3 to be at the top, click row 4. Then under window, click "Freeze Panes". that should lock it for viewing. If you want to print with a row always at the top, that's another procedure.

I don't know if anyone's made mention of it yet in other articles today, but today's BSC is one for the ages.

Not that I was that much of a fan of the last record, but this one seems kinda boring most of the time. Similar songs, midtempo...

Anyone else thinks that they sound a lot like USELESS ID???

Not really. It's very much like My Everest. A little bit better thought out song writing. Nearly the same amount of fast songs.

And fuck. no. they don't sound like Useless ID. Pop punk then and pop punk now are very different feels.

Report

Tom1022 (September 29, 2009)

That's encouraging. I will probably buy it now.

spoon_of_grimbo (September 29, 2009)

you guys actually hear the newest Useless ID album? it's very swellers-esque in places, and a million miles away from that "no time for me to be a teenager" bullshit they used to play.

Love the melody in the song. I absolutely hate the production.

i wouldn't go as far as "hate," but the drums sound a little unnatural to me, and the guitars are a little too epic for this type of music.

Good video....but it seems to be missing dudes dressed in black running around a baseball field and then tearing apart a basement in a huge battle royale.

This was my first time listening to this band... Why on earth are people surprised that this band is touring with Paramore? It sounds just like any other mall-punk band, with maybe a smattering of flyover rock.

this is definitely their most accessible song. If you would listen to their first EP or even their first full-length, you'd be surprised.
