Re: Never Destination
I like the garage rock stuff on this record a lot. Has a surprisingly fun energy and isn't as overthought/posed as some of their recent efforts in the same direction. Also I love garage rock slop so.

Re: Never Destination
Oh yeah. Def an improvement but also a little boring at this point. I agree with McP that it has some great energy to it, though. Love that.Noaheb wrote:thats what i get from it but still 10x betterdurdencommatyler wrote:This song feels obligatory to me. Like they had to put a "Super Sonic" on the record because Pearl Jam.
The whole album really feels up.

This is my favourite of the Spritzy numbers. It's very Thin Lizzy.

Re: Never Destination
This is somewhat forgettable. Though is fun. There are a few songs on here that make HUGE statements so a song like this kind of is just there....

Re: Never Destination
There is a real looseness here that is turning me on though...

Re: Never Destination
The bridge here reminds me of some older onstage jams. Maybe a RVM bridge thing, or something.

The looseness actually kind of reminds me of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or maybe I am way off.
