the “straight to hell”/“paper planes” bite in the chord progression is so good

this is a very me opinion, but this is the best of the post-hiatus records i think
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 January 2018 15:24 (six years ago) link
I suspect this is going to be a very lonely experience for you cause that latest song does nothing for me either beyond "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color"

also is it just me or is Pete’s hairline receding?
He's like 10°F from Neil Hamburger.
The video's awesome. The song is better than the last few, I guess? Guess we'll see tomorrow how this all shakes out.

Yeah this is very enjoyable record. Nothing quite as straightforwardly catchy as some of their other more recent stuff, but I think it'll hold up better.

heads up that the tracklist on spotify and apple music is in the wrong order (which is also, oddly, the order my promo was in). i much prefer the actual sequence
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 05:20 (six years ago) link
good to know i cant wait to listen :D :D

the real tracklist for anyone who's curious
1. Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea2. The Last of the Real Ones3. Hold Me Tight or Don't4. Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)5. Church6. Heaven's Gate7. Champion8. Sunshine Riptide9. Young and Menace10. Bishops Knife Trick
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link
wait what, the spotify one is wrong?
― Simon H., Friday, 19 January 2018 14:17 (six years ago) link
yep
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link
wtf
― Simon H., Friday, 19 January 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link
the corrected tracklist makes sense to me "stay frosty" is kinda weird as track 3 but is a storming opener
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kqSj_BKuUc
for some reason they only uploaded the clean version of this song to youtube
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 14:22 (six years ago) link
anyway as usual with nu-FOB album tracks >>>>>> singles, thank god (speaking of which, lol at all the religious sounds/imagery)
― Simon H., Friday, 19 January 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link
"bishop's knife trick" is mayyyyyyybe their best closer
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
enhhhh the closer was the best thing on the last one so I'm not at all ready to say that
― Simon H., Friday, 19 January 2018 14:27 (six years ago) link
i'm right simon
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 19 January 2018 14:27 (six years ago) link
Man this is reaaaaally good! Excitingly soLike it’s not Folie ~amazing~ but there’s really no skippable tracks on this for me so far. American Psycho was v patchy & took me a while to warm up, so it’s good to be hooked in from the get go again. Maybe closer to Saves Rock N Roll? anyway i’ve gone through this twice already today, no signs of stoppingLove Patrick’s singing on Heaven’s Gate
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 19 January 2018 22:07 (six years ago) link
why is it rearranged on streaming services? i noticed a similar thing happened with 21 savage's album last year, but then it seemed like it was because of which songs were getting the most plays right off the bat to inflate full-album playthroughs. is this going to start becoming a thing?
― austinb, Saturday, 20 January 2018 02:30 (six years ago) link
hmm, never mind, i found this tweet from pete.
No no. It’s a long story why it’s going to be wrong in iTunes for a few weeks- it’s just how their system ingested the songs we already put out.— pw (@petewentz) January 14, 2018

it is extremely frustrating trying to tell anyone that this band is good
(audience: "well brad then they should make better music")
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 22:30 (six years ago) link
i am totally obsessed with this record and i think it's def their best since folie, someone pls talk to me about it lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 27 January 2018 23:47 (six years ago) link
I wish I liked it as much. I do think it's better than AB/AP but I kinda long for the (relatively) spacious sound of SRAR. and I still hate "Champion" and "Hold Me Tight Or Don't" a lot. and "Wilson" sounds a bit like "YOLO" to me lol
"Heaven's Gate" and "Church" make a v nice pairing and are definitely right up there with their best material
― Simon H., Saturday, 27 January 2018 23:57 (six years ago) link
thinking Stump should do a devotional r&b followup to Soul Punk
― Simon H., Sunday, 28 January 2018 00:07 (six years ago) link
yeah I would love him to an album of slow soul covers
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 28 January 2018 00:49 (six years ago) link
Gave into this despite actively disliking all the pre-release songs. Skipped to the first track I hadn't heard, supposed album opener Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea (track listing still not updated on Spotify). "Are you smelling that shit? Are you smelling that shit?" I don't want to smell that shit, Patrick.

having a very belated moment with this song

speaking of belated, Brad was right and I was wrong about "Bishops Knife Trick"
