There are otherside vibes to it as well

That I can see

It's more the tempo. It doesn't really sound like ATW. If you dislike ATW because of that faux anthem thing it's got going on, then it shouldn't deter you from this IMO.

they sound like matt lyics

Some of the tone, too. But it's not like the songs are twins. they just put me in mind of each other

Yeah i'm at 3.5 to leaning closer to 3 for now. I could see more exposure bumping it up to 4 though.

So, retrack Gigaton?

No.

Delete. :/

this has made me put on gigaton for the first time in a while. God damned this album starts strong

Could not agree more- Who Ever Said is so well-regarded here, yet I think it might be under-rated as an opener, and the next three songs!!!

I do think that this comparison might provide us the best opportunity to compare BO'B and JE styles of production. Similar bones to the songs, and some tones as you say, but where BO'B goes slick/anthem, JE goes for what I would call contrast/garage.

On the side of the road
Lost and alone
To get it back

Much farther to go
So far from home
To get it back

Frozen in time
Turn on a dime
To get it back

Try to reach you before winter comes
Always a place for you in my heart

You’re not alone
All used up
I'd kill anything to talk to you

The Prodigal Son
The only one
To give it back

A mother and child
Were lost for a while
We want you back

Stare at the sun
Don’t hurt anyone
To get it back

Trying to reach you before winter comes
Always a place for you in my heart

You're not alone
All used up
I'd kill anything to talk to you

Since you went away
Hard to find my place
Since you went away
Hard to find my place
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away

Goddammit that fade out.

We need a whole record written by Matt. Seriously. The band shine in strange ways with his songs.

I would love it if they did this with everyone except Ed and Mike, lol.

Matt songs are pretty hit and miss with me. I would take an album of Jeff songs, though, as long as Jeff isn’t doing any of the singing...

guys this is why you don’t want the band to release everything. you’ll never get these few minutes back.

Nah. I've had this on repeat all day. Time well-wasted.
