you might find *some* qualities in the greatest generation, but the band is a lot of young guy suburban blues so don't know if they'd be a band for you outside of that, if at all

I’ll give it a go. I love young guy suburban blues if we are talking real deal suburbia. ‘Clutching milk bottles to their hearts’ type stuff.

Settling on about a 4 for this; it's certainly one of the best releases of the year so far but a decent collection of these songs are unremarkable. But when this hits, man does it hit hard.

I just can't get into this. "IT WAS RAINING IN KYOTO." Like, how am I supposed to relate to a band that wrote an entire record based off of their exotic traveling experiences? Happy for this band's success, but damn.. I'll stick with The Upsides, Suburbia, and TGG for now.

Can somebody shed some light on the bird inside your rib cage line? I got nothing.

To me, the bird represents painful thoughts/memories that continually cause pain and are not easily forgotten. So when he says "he screams so I never forget" he might be referring to the thoughts/memories creeping back up even when you don't want them to making it hard to move past them. Which to me ties into the "I keep trying to forget." When he speaks about sowing the person back up like a garden he's saying he wants to get rid of these painful thoughts/memories so the person can blossom and move past the pain of them.

It could also be representative of suicidal thoughts and the bird is those thoughts and it's speaking all the reasons why the person is not good enough to live.

The interconnectedness of this album and brilliance in songwriting is truly insane. I keep pulling back more layers to love from this as I dive further with each listen.
