Gotta say, their live show was really good - but the singer is on something I want.

It wasn't one of my initial favorites for some reason, but holy fuck Uh-Oh is so good.

Let's make an album called Arrows & Anchors, that should really be called Big Choruses & Bigger Choruses!

Let's build each song upon the epic chorus, and the verse doesn't have to be good and/or memorable (it has to have a lyric putting a clever spin on a commonplace phrase tho,) but that's ok bc the epic chorus is so good!

I have a bone to pick with this album.

You know what?

i don't have a bone to pick with you, lakes.

I can look past our differences. After all, we have Paralytic Stalks to share.

A Seafarer's Knot is better than every song on this.

I think so. The song is brilliant, a wonderful arrangement and the vocals are as good as they get.



While this may be a stronger record, none of the songs do it for me like that one.

A Seafarer's Knot was one of my least favorites on Fables.

Really Yazz?



That song builds up to such an epic conclusion of keyboards and vocals, gives me tingles.



What are your favorite songs by these dudes?

This album has actually grown off me a lot, while Fables hasn't. Can't exactly put my finger on why.

rumor is FtM will start writing/demo recording for their next album towards the end of this year.



it'll be interesting to see how/if the sound of the band changes any with the new drummer and bassist

These guys are really weird yet refreshing. I definitely dig this and it's fairly hard too. I love jamming to Whiskey and Ritalin in my car full blast. Well actually the whole cd but mainly that one.
