"in the morning" is the only song i remember from this record

this is 'like a child' vs 'fm' for me

Wow I used to really like these guys but apparently they have four albums I haven't listened to at all?

One day I may dig 'em more but there's definitely diminishing returns after this album

Easy vote for "In the Morning" though yeah "FM" is nice too.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 25 September 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link
it's all true's highs match this album's imo
still fail to comprehend begone dull care

Yeah, seems like this is the last great Junior Boys record. Miss the syncopated cut up beats of Last Exit after Johnny Dark left, but thought this was still really terrific last time I heard it. Will try to find some time to revisit it and vote.

BDG is undervalued. "Sneak a Picture" is such a jam.
― Simon H., Thursday, 25 September 2014 16:33 (nine years ago) link
"the equalizer" is another unbelievable jam on this record. think "in the morning" is one of my least favorite tbh

i like the title track best, dunno why, chunkier i guess, reminds me of seeing it live / feeling the low end in the beat
i don't think this is bad at all but somehow subsequent albums drove me back to last exist mostly, when i want to listen to the jbeez

yes, the "gotta get thru this" influence evaporated after last exit and they just became the best of a particular "type" of band
― plax (ico), Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link
i can't tell which opinion baffles me more: ppl who think junior boys fell off after last exit vs ppl who have any time for begone dull care (or subsequent albums)
voting "the equalizer" because of the gorgeous melody and the heart-in-mouth chorus
― lex pretend, Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:40 (nine years ago) link
iirc begone dull care was real backloaded, the last few tracks were gorgeous
― ciderpress, Thursday, 25 September 2014 18:09 (nine years ago) link
there are a lot of nuanced opinions to be had about the junior boys

i really like this record but i prefer BDC. The Animator is my favourite JBs song by some distance.

'so sleep' would get my vote if b-sides were eligible.

so i did get around to listening to this. i felt it was front loaded. going to change my mind and actually vote for "Count Souvenirs."

I've said it elsewhere but I despise the production on this record. They sound like songs I'd love but they sound compressed to hell.

I voted for "Count Souvenirs" even though it seemed like the obvious choice, but kind of surprised to see what won and with such a huge margin.
