It definitely pales in comparison to the 59 sound and beats American Slang, but I can't decide how it compares to Sink or Swim.

Why compare a record when you can judge it on its own merits?

Yeah good point. I'm really liking this, both Brian's voice and lyrics have improved a lot. I think Too Much Blood is my favorite.

I was kinda bummed by how over-produced Biloxi Parish was. I was really looking forward to a studio version of it. Didn't turn out very well. Too many layered vocals and other bullshit. Pretty good album though. No 59 sound.

biloxi parish really isn't that over produced...it's not like they autotuned it or anything

this is so much better than AS, further highlighting how much of a disappointment that record is in comparison to their discography and potential

agreed. this record has me so hooked right now. can't wait to see them in september.



and ya, the national anthem has grew on me a little. i mean brian's vocal melodies on that are great, but the instrumentation does nothing for me.

There are some really good songs on AS, it just seems a little less passionate. I was listening to it

yesterday and when it was over I put on sink or swim and it just hit me how much more energy there was
