grandaddy -'sumday'

Maybe Evermore is the standout?

was definitely the immediate standout for me. I am open to others growing on me, though, as that's usually how this works.

Eight now my thinking is it doesn't need the two tracks with long titles, everything else is golden

Not a single standout on this great great album for me. Such an amazing hangover of an album. After the sophtware died, and they tried and failed to sober up, and this is what happened. It's like getting a blue screen after a hard reset. Head aching and hung over on the porch, in the scorching sun. Passed out in a Datsun. I will defend this album to the teeth.

(that was abt Sumday btw)

oh. new one is good.

new one is pretty good! "Evermore" is instantly one of their best songs

it's nice iin that this album just feels like a logical next album, not like some big reunion thing after years with loads of expectations

"you grieve like a freeway tree" is a pretty great line

album kind of sounds like deserter's songs vol II

much, much better than that

Sumday was the first Grandaddy album I disliked. Just listened again and don't get it. The Sophtware Slump was their high point for me.

New album is mediocre at best. 'Evermore' a sordid attempt at grasping at past heights. Saying it's Deserter's Songs II and much, much better than that is just challops.

when have they ever used such krautrock keyboards before??

anyway, all of their albums are growers

It's totally depressing somehow

I guess that's the charm

Yeah, I am not getting the hype for the new album at all. I can't find one memorable song on there. Sumday is enjoyable, but was a massive step down after Under The Western Freeway and The Sophtware Slump.

"Krautrock keyboards", really?

I wished much better for these guys instead of this hook-free, dread-free, forgettable return.

it is good that is all yeesh you whiners

'songbird son' is sounding lovely today

Now that the "k" is in place
Where the "c" used to be

thinking.emoji
