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

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 (five years ago)
"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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
"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!!!!

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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)

― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:19 (five years ago)

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:22 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)

― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:27 (five years ago)

― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:51 (five years ago)

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:11 (five years ago)

― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:14 (five years ago)
"the world you love"... incredible
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:21 (five years ago)
"kill" is also the best song ever
"kill" is top 5 for sure
― stylish but illegal (Simon H.), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:23 (five years ago)

― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 29 January 2021 22:31 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)
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 (five years ago)

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?
