New album coming apparently. I'm excited but it's hard to imagine it'll top this, always a bit surprised how strong this is when I come back to it

Remember the Humans is pretty good, I think I enjoy it more as standalone feel good rock than a BSS album. “What Happens Now” doesn’t quite hit the youthful energy of a “Stars and Sons” or a “Swimmers” but it has a resolve that’s enjoyable on its own. Not their best but certainly not bad.

I enjoyed it but not as much as Hug of Thunder. Plenty of cool moments, solid 3.5 that could theoretically grow. Absolutely nothing blew me away, but all of it was nice.

Yeah the whole album is a nice listen in itself but I don’t know if I could pick more than a couple random songs and play them over and over. It’s supremely inoffensive

Bumpy & Dumpy, this album feels good. Give or take the apocalypse.

I like the little mellow jazz influence that pops up on the new album, the middle stretch of songs are a treat.



I’d put it on par with this pretty much.

I've been neglecting this album for long because I was too much obsessed with FRR and You Forgot... But this is just very soothing, has more character than the new one. That one's also nice, and may grow on me in the Summer break, we'll see.

I rate FSS lower than the two latest ones...I never really vibed with it outside of 'World Sick' and the brilliant 'Romance to the Grave'.

It’s pretty spotty, especially in the first half but I think it has some great songs. All to All in particular has grown on me a lot over the last couple years, one of their best imo.
