I'm so glad Eddie Vedder didn't get his breathy voice on this thing.

You can't just celebrate the wonder that is Stone can you? Unless it's a picture of Ed Lion/"The Lion Sing", I want no mention of Ed in the Bossman's thread.

Also, I need something different is fucking fun.

You're absolutely right. I'm on record preferring the Bossman's voice at this point anyway. I won't mention that other douche again.

why can't every record sound this good? the production fits the record's measured ambition: it's rich and layered and there's real dimension in the soundscape. no overreaching, no compression, no preciousness.

Cause BOB is the worst.

Didn't Pete Droge do most of this?

the first solo on i need something different is so unexpected and vibrant. the tones of the rhythm and lead guitars are really well-balanced.

love what those drums are setting up under the first two crashing chords in moonlander

stone's woozy delivery in the verses is perfect. a great match for the jangly instrumentation underneath. lots going on here.

also, that's how you write a bridge: unexpected instrumentation and harmonies. pentatonic wankery would have crushed what those first few verses and choruses built.

god, great such great space and restraint in moonlander. moody, textured, and dense without being unnecessarily spartan or self-consciously somber. very well done track.

I'm still listening to this album quite frequently. A bit disappointed he left "Little One" off it though. Really good song.

the beginning of your flames just sounds so overly affected. not a fan of stone's delivery here. not really feeling the cadence of the melody either.

"a bouquet of colored lies (lines?), not one was grey" is a pretty good lyric
