M/M truly is one of the most disappointing albums I have personally listened to, my hype was at an all time high and I got Creed



anyway Dustin confirmed H/West just now:



" It’s also sort of a bookend with the first song on the record. This was not totally intentional, but that image of the last line of the record is “new grass beneath black skies.” At the end of the first part of the first song, it’s the character emerging into this pre-dawn with grass beneath their feet. So, it’s looking back to that. For me, that image is very much about the possibility and hope that something new is coming.



It has a feeling like it’s leading into something. Yes, it’s leading into what will end up being Horizons/West. I don’t know when that will come up, but it’s partially completed and written. We’ll be finishing that up later this year and early next year. Yes, I mean, it’ll be a companion record. Most of it will have been written in the same period. Some of it was even recorded simultaneously"

fuck M/M, Beggars is leagues better and easily the best thing they've done since Vheissu [7]

it's funny cause i recall m m being beloved around here when it dropped and now it's aged terribly

Album Rating: 2.5

Beggars fucking sucks. M/M isn't good either, and neither is this. They've made like 3 or 4 good songs in the last decade

Album Rating: 4.0

M/M is fine and consistent and has a few of their best tracks but Beggars is GOATed. real ones know

Album Rating: 2.5

Listen to artist in the ambulancr and then this back to back and tell me this doesn't suck dick by comparison

Album Rating: 4.0

Hell yeah on Horizons/west.



Just started my first listen, but the first two songs are fucking awesomez

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

M/M is okay but to me it's pretty close to TBEITBN, and I actually prefer the latter because is a bit more varied. Both albums have plenty of dull moments, though.

Album Rating: 4.0

Only had time right now to listen from beginning to Still Life but I fucking love this so far. Might be a 4.5 for me IF it keeps up the quality, but I don’t see this as being anything less than a 4. Will check the rest on my way to work later.



Definitely their best since M/M

Managed to finish lol. First half is better for me, or st least more immediate…but I feel like the second half, while still pretty good, but will grow on me. Wavering between 4 or 4.5 right now

Their oldest three albums feel like a totally different band so they're just in their own tier: AitA > IoS > IC

Kinda shocked at how good this is after the wet fart of Palms.

Yeah, I'm kind of digging this. Good comeback album.

Album Rating: 4.5

Kinda crazy how completely different this band can sound from record to record.

Album Rating: 4.5

Those stack harmonies give me some strong manchester orchestra vibes. This is such a nice mature step for the band. Everything is beautifully tempered. Also this is hands down Riley's best drumming to date album wise. Everything is so intricate, creative, yet in the pocket contributing perfectly to ebb and flows of all these songs. Really glad they took the time with this.

Album Rating: 3.0

Band is straight up boring at this point post-hiatus. Still appreciate and love them, especially their older tunes, but I do not understand any continued praises.

I wanna play…
