I love Mr. November, but i want something more emotionally triggering in their closers, so i go with Lucky You

“thinking so strongly otherwise suggests exactly the kind of proclivity for the bargain bin NYC landfill post-punk sound that Mr. November lives and dies by” sounds like an excerpt from Admit It and now I’m giggling. You are correct that Lucky You features the strongest songwriting on the record, and is alongside Thirsty at being the most indicative of the direction the band would go, but I still prefer the one-off brevity of Slipping Husband, the pace and prose of Thirsty, and the quiet, crushing emotional intensity of Cardinal Eyes. Also gonna have to mention, once again, that Fashion Coat is kind of perfect with its plodding piano backdrop and surfy guitar, cheesy 00s synth insert, lyrical imagery. I’m such a sucker for this band idk man. Can’t do “objective” here.



“Gospel, really? Yawn” bro chill

“Lucky You is extremely overrated” it’s literally one of their most emotionally earnest and honest songs. They do so much with those two chords!

Extremely overrated was poor phrasing. I do think it gets talked about a bit too much for a band that has at least 30 better songs, a handful of which, as I said, are on SS

Got tickets to see The Natty in March and they’re playing a seated-only venue - horrified and distraught to think Matty B won’t be crowd surfing for Mr November any more
