Dismantling Summer is an AMAZING song off TGG too. So emotional.

Not aging well for me. Dropped from a 4 to a 3 since its release—I rarely go back. Standouts are Kyoto, Flowers, and Ghosts. Can't help but feel like this is the record I thought I always wanted from TWY, but it just doesn't work like I thought it would. And of course, the production is still god awful.

These guys peaked at either Suburbia or TGG. And No Closer to Heaven was still better than this, yeah

Realizing they peaked with TGG is depressing



This album was way overhyped

it doesn't have the highs of No Closer to Heaven, but its worst tracks are also better than NCTH's worst... just wish there was a bit more to it. The first two songs are the best.

I definitely don't agree its worsts are better than NCTH worsts. But not a claim I'll lose sleep over either.

I come back to this more than any other album in their discog, altho the first half of NCTH is probably still their best run of tracks.

I actually think the first two songs are the worst. Production really holds this back though, my general TWY fanboyishness is keeping this at a 4

My TWY fanboyish has weened. I'm still craving more Aaron West though. Sure it's pretty generic acoustic stuff, but I'm all in on his sad story haha.

This album opens sooooo hot: Raining in Kyoto, Pyramids of Salt, It Must Get Lonely, Sister Cities



AND the closing 3 tracks are so massively underrated it hurts my brain: When the Blue Finally Came, The Orange Grove, The Ocean Grew Hands to Hold Me.



This album's highs do not get as good as Cigarettes and Saints, but they match every other high off of NCTH. This albums lows are nowhere near as low as some parts of NCTH. All in all, I think I like this album just as much or slightly more than NCTH. Yall are crazy.

All i will say is that NCTH had much better choruses that were more memorable and flowed better within the songs

I'm talking flow within a song, not from song-to-song. in sister cities they have no fucking clue how to transition from a verse to a chorus, so they just stop or play two pointless chords and then start again with a totally different rhythm. see Raining in Kyoto and Ghosts of Right Now. It's very jarring and reminds me of how I wrote songs in my high school band lol
