@Xing potentially “Clone”, potentially “Sport of Form”, “Patient Mind” if I’m in the mood for some corny singalong bollocks that hits just about the right side of cheese but not really. The closing two do a nice ethereal thing a la the Genghis Tron 2021 comeback style, but aren’t really what I want from The Armed.

Totally agree with your picks Asleep. Really would've liked if they embraced the chaotic moment more that are sprinkled here and there, like on Clone.

Edit: Public Grieving is also up there.

" The closing two do a nice ethereal thing a la the Genghis Tron 2021 comeback style, but aren’t really what I want from The Armed."



Dream Weapon is one of my favorite records of the last several years but is definitely not what I come to this band for. Will be interesting in context. On Jupiter kind of gives off those Dream Weapon vibes at moments too but I'm sure the new jams are vastly different experiences.

You're absolutely right, especially Public Grieving.

Public Grieving sounds like them trying to pull off a Dillinger Mouth of Ghosts style track. Very jazzy.

You don’t “get the album”, the album gets you. Just wait and listen to Average Death 100 times.

Maybe listen to the live version of the album. The production makes it easier to "click" for some people

I’m pretty sure they had it on their Bandcamp, but I think it was a limited time thing



That’s easily my favorite version of Bad Selection.
