haha i was waiting for you to respond


but yeah tbh, this is my favorite album of theirs, and i've heard basically their entire studio discography(woo torrents).

I do agree that Blackest Eyes and Trains are the best songs on the album, hell, Trains is one of the best songs i've ever heard, but it seems like you're missing the real beauty of the rest of the album. idk, it seems like you're falling back on a bit of hate for the band to realize that these are really good songs, even if it's not like some of their previous works. It looks like you're really overanalyzing the songs instead of actually sitting back and enjoying them. i.e., I think Wedding Nails isn't trying to be "discordant and ugly" as much as it's just trying to pump you up and kick you in the face.

i also feel that this has much more going for it as far as instrumentally and in terms of singability/catchyness. but then again, i'm a rocker/metalhead mainly, and i can understand if you don't enjoy this as much as it's pop oriented predecessor.
