it’s a phonetic pronounciation of some german word i believe. that or it was a wifi password i forget which i read it in an interview with tom like two years ago. one of those two tho

Album Rating: 4.5

the phonetic spelling of a German word for “troubadour" you are correct bubs, Tom couldn't remember which word though

Shit I meant to ask does Tom even sing any hooks or verses on this album? He seems to have more of a presence on OTIP. I’m still such a noob to this band.

Album Rating: 5.0

yes plenty. thick as thieves, house on fire, the bars. maybe more that I'm not remembering

Sorry I'm still sticking with Chamberlain Waits as their 2nd best and After the Party as their 3rd. Vocals and guitars are just so much more interesting to me. I wish I had been a fan early enough to see them play some of these live besides I Was Born. Songs like Who's Your Partner, Times Tables, Deep Sleep, and Tasker-Morris Station would still be great.

@noler Thick As Thieves, The Bars, Boy Blue, and House On Fire are Tom songs.



OTIP Tom songs are Burn After Writing, Ava House, Freedom Bridge, Sculptors and Vandals, and Nice Things.

t/t on this goes hard tho

@TheSupernatural they sometimes do throw in a few old ones, depends. Although I admit I've seen them play both in Philly and Scranton so they tend to give their hometown areas those treats more often

Album Rating: 5.0

both times I've seen them they've played a song from chamberlain

Album Rating: 4.5

I've seen em probably 10 times at this point... my fiance photographs them whenever they play near us

Album Rating: 4.0

They didnt reach before Impossible Past when i saw them. Thanks a lot LAME ASS POSER BASIC BITCH FANS.

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah that's pretty common for their set, out of the 10 times only about 4 of em included stuff before OTIP

Album Rating: 4.0

Damn Greg is the almighty obviously, but Tom must’ve found his voice here too because I can’t even tell it’s the same guy singing those songs as “burn after writing”.



I love the vox on The Bars especially

Album Rating: 4.0

i think its just that this album is more polished, i dont think his technique is any different.



The Bars is top 5 Tom songs for me.
