Loved them since the 1st album, but everything after 23 has felt like a letdown.

They were honestly the best live band going for two albums

the first time i saw them was after melody came out and i didn't know any of their earlier stuff at the time, so at the show when they played shit like "water" at absolute full noise rock intensity i was like wait who the HELL are these guys? just incredible. the next day i was probably downloading a bunch of mp3s to track down that song.

during that period, Fake was my favorite out of all of them. i do appreciate their later run (melody --> 23), but it was especially great as a contrast against so much of that harder edged earlier stuff

I love the trajectory of BR's discography. Each album feels like a clear continuation of the album that came right before it - and yet comparing the late work to the early work, it might as well be two entirely different bands. Lots of bands evolve their sound over time but there is something insistently linear about the way BR did.

I was like "oh no this sounds like sad Postal Service"
Haha, this is brutal! Misery is the most intense, cold-sweat inducing, darkly seductive fever dream ever put down to music. Hugely important to me, which says precisely nothing, but twee sad Postal Service (which I enjoy in its own way, though way less meaningful) it is not, and not even close to my ears! I love the analogy nonetheless.

their show they have booked in St. Paul is also at a smaller venue than they've played in the past

Thanks, that is indeed so so good. Too bad I missed them when they came round here last December :-/
