I think the best song on Somewhere is the one that starts with “I COME HERE AS A MAN IN SHAMBLESSS”



forgot the name tho

Wildlife has its moments. Kinda boring and king park is good but in a kinda contrived way, though was never sput's biggest emo connoisseur. Probably not the 2nd biggest either



Think this is my favourite la dispute. Haven't heard rooms

rooms has “for mayor in splitsville,” which I absolutely adore

Woman in mirror and Stay Happy There and the opener are top tier LD, rest varies in quality

Album Rating: 4.5

Woman in mirror is one of the most personal songs I share with a band I have no personal connection to

Album Rating: 4.5

Wildlife is my favourite mostly due to the stretch of songs that is a Poem all the way to You and I in Unison. I mean I like the first half too but that last half is just emotional gut-punch after gut-punch which I am here for (still after all these years).

Album Rating: 4.5

Rooms has some good tracks and atmospheres but doesn't have the gripping urgency of Wildlife, definitely don't agree that it's homogeneous

There's a lot of cool stuff on Wildlife, but Jordan does. not. stop. singing. This is my favorite La Dispute release because his delivery is more varied and there are more moments where they let the music ripen without any vocals. Helps to build the atmosphere.

Lol. Yeah I find he hogs the spotlight BIG TIME in their old music. Like dude shut up for two seconds and let the awesome instrumentation shine.

This is spot-on.

Album Rating: 4.0

thing is, while the musicianship of this band has always been nothing short of terrific, in the first two albums it was never supposed to be on the forefront. they are about jordan's stories and his eccentric way of expressing them and the music is there to back it up



now you can feel anything you want about that and how jordan has drastically calmed down on these last two albums

Getting some huge Spiderland vibes on this record. Anyone else hear it?

Album Rating: 4.5

minus Scenes From Highways which is kinda meh, every Rooms track is incredible. For Mayor In Splitsville and Footsteps at the Pond might actually be the two catchiest jams this band has

And Spiderland isn’t good (;



This really really impressed me. Wasn’t too big a fan of Somewhere At The Bottom but I gotta listen more since I loved this a lot. Much of the instrumentation on this is downright beautiful.
