Yeah ya might not like Dealer then… it’s a lot more post rocky. But literally all of their albums sound pretty different from each other.

Def recommend the Night Channels music video. It’s almost like a short film, probably my favorite music video ever.

It’s already one of my favorite tracks of theirs but that music video just takes it to another level.



I’m glad you’re starting to dig into their discog more tho venin! I know it’s no secret that I absolutely adore this band. What tracks did you like the most here?

Most of the standouts for me were on the first half, namely Rory

I actually kinda agree with that, but I’m a slut for Bit By a Dead Bee 1… Quietus is their weakest closer (I know you probably don’t agree onion but I digress), Calm Before is literally nothing, and don’t care for Dead Bee 2



But The Medic and Rory are such bangers that it makes up for all of that I think this has tremendous highs but Dealer is overall more consistent imo.



After that they’re my favorite rock band of the last 10 years minimum, maybe all time.

i like dead bee 2 much more than 1 myself but neither are anything crazy. cry baby aside id put quietus ahead of the very sleepy three is a match as well but i have my problems with quietus for sure



dealer has more good songs but its pacing is probably less consistent for me. might j be bc laundered bores me to tears

I think we should all be able to agree that Speak With the Dead is far and away their best closer. I adore Lambert too but Speak With the Dead had me bawling my eyes out the first time I heard it.

i think lambert is better at being a closer but speak with the dead is a better standalone song, although the margin between it and lambert on that front is smaller than that between how well lambert belongs on its respective album. speak with the dead just kind of annoys me because you sit through them just sitting on their hands for a whole album and then at the very end finally do something

NMG might need a respin. Doubt I'll be getting to it soon with new Venturing dropping tonight but I remembered the indie rock sound not quite working for me

Still team self titled. If I made a top 10 foxing list at least 5 tracks would make the cut
