There's a trick you cam do with covering your ears and thumping the back of your lower skull for a bit and it stops for like 5 seconds but it is kind of cool to not hear ringing for those five seconds.



My first song was actually makedamnsure so I was late to the party

tbf i only first got to this band in like 2015 so i was crazy late, but i was also only 1 years old when tayf dropped lol. probably explains my preference towards the later stuff ngl given tidal wave dropped when i was in high school (but i also j think theyre more aligned with what i look for)



and that sounds like a v helpful trick. thanks!

TAYF is iconic. i would have been like 12 or 13 i think so it was huge

Tidal Wave is v easily their best, this one was so disappointing comparatively. haven't gone back to it since release week

yeah definitely one of my biggest letdowns in recent memory. honestly the biggest takeaway i really got out of this was finally waking up to how good abendigo was

couldnt get into tidal wave. I reckon their self titled is hugely underrated and their third best album.

Abendigo is real real good, Smiling and Alive is probably ny favourite thing John's ever written. still need to check his first two solo albums actually

I didn't know this came out. I thought that Tidal Wave was ok (or at least the first few songs, e.g., CAN'T LOOK BACK). Not at the level of Jimmy's Integrity Blues or Surviving, though, speaking of such returns. But this seems shit, after the 2 min listen I gave it.



Fuck, Brand New was a million times better band.

smokes surviving tbh. integrity blues is about on par though. getting them like a month apart was a very fun stretch

oh jimmy are one of my favorite bands ever do not interpret that as big picture jimmy slander lol. im just more a fan of the slower expansive jimmy albums than the pop rock ones, and dont really think surviving is a better instance of them doing that. its still fun tho



need the next album to be some place your debts type shit and itll be an inevitable 5

I wasn't old enough for the old stuff when it came out but I prefer Adam's early vocals. So that's part of it.
