[QUOTE=albert_bass;15448138]I loved this album, the only thing I feel lacking is some kind of "A better place a better time" track. You know that kind of simplicity yet perfection and the masterful build up of the song? I mean that kind of track. Having it in the middle of the album would make this an almost perfect album.

Of course I have to listen to it much more but the first impression was neat.[/QUOTE]

Look what Spain turned up!

I like it. The beginning of One Foot on the Gas pretty much blows but its solid overall. A little more upbeat than Everything Goes Numb.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much whoever provided that link. Listening to it now. :)

DougJI 10-24-2007 06:55 PM

tomas seems to be able to write an entire album worth of songs that all sound similar stylistically at the same time. he'd be hailed as the song writer of the century if keasbey, numb, and SiTB were all mixed together.

Liebensaft 10-24-2007 07:24 PM

Yeah, so many of these songs sound ridiculously similar. I'm having trouble really getting into this album. It's not bad, it's just...more of the same. It hasn't done anything yet to blow me away, but I'm only halfway through.

StreetlightRock 10-24-2007 07:27 PM

I actually agree with you, and i'm halfway too.... =/

Catchthe22 10-24-2007 07:29 PM

it probably wont change with the 2nd half

iliketoplaydrums10111 10-24-2007 07:45 PM

it's pretty good but i agree with the above 3 posts

Title track slays.

[QUOTE=TakeWarning;15446222]Here's To Life? Yeah, me too.[/QUOTE]

I think they did that on purpose, it's really quite similar.

It's "more of the same" yes, but you can't expect every band to reinvent something with every album. There are some mind blowing songs on there IMO, probably get into it more soon.

If the link's really dead, try this page:

SitB is pretty much what I expected, and that's a very good thing.

Jessizzle 10-25-2007 01:22 PM

i asked for EGN 2
and thats what i got.

Liebensaft 10-25-2007 01:32 PM

I think the second half is a little stronger than the first. I've given it about two full listens, and stand by what I said before.

Win A Rabbit 10-25-2007 02:28 PM

The start of We Will Fall Together gets me in a great mood. :)

Overall very solid.

100% agree

The second half is better than the first IMO

This album is growing on me quite a bit.

StreetlightRock 10-25-2007 06:55 PM

^ That.

Streetlight manifesto music video.

SkaRobotArmy 10-27-2007 11:01 AM

pretty sweet. would have been nice if it wasn't the same thing over and over again with different animals. the horn arrangements in that are song bit'chin though.

comptonassrobert 10-27-2007 11:30 AM

uhhhh somebody reupload please??

Liebensaft 10-27-2007 01:58 PM

I don't understand what's supposed to be going on in that video. It got a little psychedelic though, in the last two minutes or so. That was kinda cool.

lynch_me 10-27-2007 02:21 PM

I approve of that video. Very cool.

Aficionado 10-27-2007 02:41 PM

That was a sweet video and a sweet song aswell. I'm really excited now.

Danger Bird 10-27-2007 02:43 PM

It was pretty cool, not terribly so. Good song though.

Aficionado 10-27-2007 03:30 PM

Better than the cookie cutter videos we see from bands like Big D and the Kids table

asdf 10-27-2007 03:42 PM

So the album didn't strike me the first two listens, but I woke up with parts of songs stuck in my head, so now I'm going back and listening to some of them, and it's lyrically and musically starting to get to me like EGN did and does.

Aficionado 10-27-2007 04:25 PM

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a grower

Catchthe22 10-27-2007 06:26 PM

The video was interesting and amusing but I think a video's main purpose should be to get people excited about the song more. It didnt do that for me. I do like that song but the video doesnt add anything to it.
