Very pleasantly surprised.

Thumbs (August 27, 2012)

There are some pretty damn awesome songs on this thing. I like it.

cpp_ (August 27, 2012)

what a piece of shit album seriously what a fucking douche bag, this album sounds like it was written by Randy Newman from that Family Guy episode.

Thumbs (August 27, 2012)

But not Randy Newman from real life?

cpp_ (August 27, 2012)

I've only heard him from that Family Guy episode. Thats why I thought of it, especially that last piano track. I don't understand how anyone thinks this is a good album.

Thumbs (August 27, 2012)

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

I understand what you're saying about his voice. I think he have to get used to it. Same way I thought about OWTH at first... Ryan's voice took a bit for me to get used to.

The music on this album (Morning Glory) is basically awesome, but, I guess you have to like Ezra's voice.

cpp_ (August 27, 2012)

hahahaha thats awesome love that episode. Its not even his voice, its the music, I don't mind slower music or even a change, but I seriously think Ezra pulled an Afi on everyone; Where it seems like change could be cool from this band, but they end up fucking it up. Whatever though to each their own, but I've always liked Morning Glory so this kind of sucks.

thegreatestmanalive (August 27, 2012)

Randy Newman is great.

BrodyDanger (August 27, 2012)

Holy shit... this album is pretty good all the way through.

chadreligion (August 27, 2012)

It started out fine until it got to the "YEEEEEAAAAAAH!"
I'm already bored with this

oldpunkerforever (August 27, 2012)

went down to Fells Point and picked this up over the weekend, really good, quite a bit going on with the pianos and strings, but done very well-oldpunker-

drHankMcCoy (August 27, 2012)

Well put. Those arrangements were unexpected, but not unwelcome

feels kinda bloated and overambitious, i really liked the shitty-sounding old stuff (still somewhat ambitious for what it was). speaking of which, "divide by" still kicks ass

gazibo (August 27, 2012)

Got the Double LP on red vinyl from FAT in the mail today. Love the album. Good to hear something different.

operationivy12 (August 27, 2012)

Very disappointed...

nickvicious (August 27, 2012)

Ach! Forgot to pre-rder. Hoping my record store carries it so I can grab it at the when the new Propagandhi comes out. I've liked pretty much everything Ezra's ever done so I'm confident in this purchase.

qualitypunk (August 27, 2012)

Nice try Fat.
No way I'm clicking away from the Propagandhi stream today.

cbsrocksteady (August 27, 2012)

I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed in this. It sounds so corny throughout. I understand the guy writes pop songs, but they used to have an edge that I'm not hearing here. I also should note that I saw them live a couple weeks ago and that was even more of a let down. Guitars were way too low, vocals too exhausted, energy level low. Sorry Ezra - there is no time ta sleep was one of my favorite albums about 6 years ago, but this just isn't working. For the record, i'd say its infinitely better than that god awful last star fucking hipsters effort, but thats not saying much.

cpp_ (August 27, 2012)

As much as it pains me to say this the last Star Fucking Hipsters (granted is a giant piece of shit) is still better than this. This album just shouldn't of happend, but then again neither should that last Star Fucking Hipsters. This concerns me considering that Leftover Crack are "apparently" making a new record, and if both those albums suck, I'd rather not have another Leftover Crack.

krankykirk (August 27, 2012)

*shouldn't have happened. Why do people always say "of happened"? i thought the last sfh album was pretty enjoyable.
