"drugs or me" and "night drive" do not completely work for me and never have. i still listen to them all the time lol
i'm expecting the live set to change my mind about this tbh

"polaris" is potentially the goat jimmy eat world song tho
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link
"drugs or me" is nails on chalkboard awful to me lol

only record i havent spent time with is Invented.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
my high ranking of invented is very personal, if i dial back at all i can see it's a flawed record, but it's also the record that soundtracked my move to new york ten years ago

it has an odd status in the discog i think, it is clearly a throwback to clarity in many ways (trombino on production, tom sings lead on a song toward the end), but the songwriting isn't a throwback at all, adkins was exploring writing from different perspectives and his stuff from around this period and damage has kind of a stately singer-songwriter vibe to it
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link
not really feeling the first couple of tracks..

adkins was exploring writing from different perspectives
I feel like this is almost actively discouraged of late so I do like this idea, though that album hasn't really clicked for me yet

oh man, the opener is the best!!!! but also the album doesn't really find footing until "movielike"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
"my best theory" feels like a lead single from a different album, it is very out of place
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:27 (three years ago) link
lol, again, it's got a lot of problems, i love it so anyway

he was getting really into cindy sherman photography around the time and the byproduct of that is a lot of the album is from a woman's perspective
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link
"coffee and cigarettes" for instance. and he does it without calling attention to the device at all, which is how it should be
oh man, the opener is the best!!!!

little too much mumford and sons stompity stomping for me
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link
oh lol i can see that. it does predate when that style became inescapable but unfortunately does not quite predate patient zero, "home"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 20:57 (three years ago) link
invented is also the reason i know about courtney marie andrews, she did the backing vocals on the record and toured with them and is a really amazing songwriter in her own right
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:18 (three years ago) link
love that i dont know if youre talking about the edward sharp home or the phillip phillips home lol
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:19 (three years ago) link
i was talking about the edward sharpe home but also lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:22 (three years ago) link
liking movielike, coffee and cigs and evidence from the front half of this. stop is good too. a lot more soaring electric guitar leads than im used to maybe.
littlething is sounding great.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
i just got to "littlething" myself and remembered how often i've cried to this record, "lol"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:26 (three years ago) link
yah instant rewind on that one. perfect song there.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:27 (three years ago) link
the title track!
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:42 (three years ago) link
i may have slept on this album
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link
the title track is incredible. i covered it at an open mic night once
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link
haha nice.
and they follow it up with another epic what is this album.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:51 (three years ago) link
imo "just tonight" is a ripper. dark hair metal jam
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:11 (three years ago) link
i say that bc they are playing it now
ah jealous
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:14 (three years ago) link
"the world you love"... incredible
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:21 (three years ago) link
"kill" is also the best song ever
"kill" is top 5 for sure
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:23 (three years ago) link
i love kill and the world you love.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:25 (three years ago) link
lmao well yeah this staging and arrangement are finally selling me on "drugs or me"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:27 (three years ago) link
im gonna cry thinking about you crying to 23
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:28 (three years ago) link
lmao it's gonna happen
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:28 (three years ago) link
id be worried if it didnt
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link
whole show was really special, songs i hadn't necessarily rated came alive, really ideal. also made me realize that futures has a lot of backing vocal action and guitar fx
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 23:06 (three years ago) link
also can't say enough how perfect the lighting and staging is, so much atmosphere
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 23:10 (three years ago) link

I'm done, there's nothing left to showI try but can't let it goAre you happy where you're standing still?Do you really want the sugar pill?I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll startTonight it feels so hardAs the train approaches Gare Du NordAs I'm sure your kiss remains employedAm I only dreaming?
