Yeah I didn't dig My Best Theory too much at first but oh man does it grow.

Heart is Hard to Find, Evidence, Action Needs an Audience (the song Tom sings) and t/t are my faves but honestly it all rules.

I know I wish Tom Linton would sing more. Definitely check out Static Prevails next, that's the one where he and Jim both sang co-lead and it rules hard.

I know man so much fucking weight attached to that song, messes me up every time I hear it but it's so worth it. Mixtape's good but inferior imo.

Sweet man good to know you dig, so many people hate on it just cos it isn't like Bleed American or Futures.

that's a pretty shitty mindset i mean artists need to continue trying new things rather than just try to repeat past glories

for better or worse

like some will make shitty records but it's at least interesting to see evolution

Fuckin amen to that but people just want Clarity and Bleed American over and over and it pisses me off. Change is inevitable and they fuckin nailed it on Invented imo. And the same people who complain about Invented being different from BA and Clarity forgot that they were completely different from the debut and Static Prevails so you know fuck them.

basically yeah they wouldn't have got to bleed american and futures without evolving

that's what makes music discussion with a lot of people quite frustrating but it's sweet when you come across like-minded people

Couldn't agree more with that. Have you checked Jimmy's latest, Damage yet? It's a bit annoying cos it just sticks to the same formula as Bleed American and doesn't really try anything new, which is pretty much just the band giving into the fans and regressing their style instead of trying new shit like they normally do each album. So it's a bit annoying but it has its moments.

nah haven't jammed yet i'm pretty behind on new releases lately cos i've been stuck in a cycle of listening to my favourites over and over but i'm not too bothered that shit can be exhausting like listening to everything once or twice and absorbing nothing

gone through phases like that and it gets to the point of not really enjoying music anymore, more of a chore

i will def check damage though, i have a real soft spot for JEW despite not listening to them for years until today

Fair enough it's a 3.5 for me it's solid but one of their weaker releases imo. Defs get onto Static Prevails though and you'd most likely dig Clarity too, most people do.
