Agreed about the non singles being the best with this band. My ordering of the singles right now is: Lightning (for reasons mentioned above) > Speak (pretty epic posturing even though it never capitalizes) > Down Together (feels like the closest these guys have come to a straight up pop song, I still kind of groove to it though). Each of them get better the more I listen, but I don't think this album will come close to matching Nearer My God.

Can’t really put together my singles order yet, Speak With the Dead is probably number one for now tho..
I totally agree with you, NMG was a master piece that is hard to top, and like Lasseg stated, they don’t have to top it. I get that albums are getting compared but it shouldn’t define my feelings for a record. If that was the case, finding new fun music would be a chore.

Edit: I can’t write for shit on a phone

Agreed with all of that (including the pains of typing from a phone). If DDtM is its own interesting journey then I'll be satisfied.

I’m honestly surprised the local alternative station hasn’t jumped on these guys yet. We’ll Go Down Together is catchy as hell

Agreed Wildcard, that'd be a hit as would Lightning Strikes Twice. I'm feeling a very accessible/mainstream release on the horizon.

So stoked. I really want to be the one to review their new one. Looking at you Sowing lol. These guys have become THE BAND that me and my soon-to-be fiance enjoy together, so their music has become a rather essential part of my daily life at this point. And for the record, Go Down Together is the catchiest bopper probably ever. IKYK

Haha I am slated to review it, how'd you possibly guess? I'm sure we can share the spotlight when the moment comes. Oh or maybe even a two person collaborative review??? Hmm. Let me know!

An Evok/Sowing collab would be sick tbh

Does anyone else get Muse vibes, from Lightning Strikes?

I got Muse vibes from a lot of NMG, especially Gameshark. Lightning Strikes reminds me more of Manchester Orchestra.

Yo, I'm 100% down for a collab reivew. Hit the discord and find me and we can dm some ideas. A review penned like a philosophical conversation is something I'd be absolutely smitten to get in on.

I know it won't be on this album, but I wish Foxing would take a Daisy turn at some point in their career. I think Conor Murphy has a fantastic screaming voice.
