Sorry you disagree with me. I love the autobiographical nature of his lyrics. Being relatable is the most important part of punk music in my opinion, and Frank nails it.

I hear ya. I think Frank is ok. To each their own.

 

I dig when people are passionate about music at all - so that's cool.

Greatest songwriter of our generation

 

100% agree.  He is without a doubt my favorite person to listen to over the last 5 or 6 years.  He can basically do no wrong.

 

With that said, I think The Next Storm is a little bit boring.  It's good, but I liked the first new song, Get Better, a lot more.

The thing with Frank Turner's albums is that there's always a couple of incredible songs, several totally forgettable songs, and 1-2 complete turds.  He's really inconsistent, but someday he's going to have the best greatest hits album of all time.

 

Also, $30 for the vinyl?  Looks like I'll be sticking to digital with this one.

I think Tape Deck Heart was his first album with a bunch of forgettable songs. Before that I could shuffle his whole discography and never skip a track.  But not everyone has to feel that way, obviously.

 

I agree that $30 for normal black vinyl is a stretch.  I was hoping there would be some sort of interesting preorder, whether it be a colored variant or a bunch of signed copies or something, but oh well.  I'll wait til I see it in a store somewhere for cheaper.

Born in 88, started buying my own music in 98. I don't really know what generation I'm actually aligned to though. I don't think my generation has seen too many true songwriters like Frank. Again, just my opinion.

When I think of best songwriters, still alive and making music, I think of Jeff Tweedy (who I don't even like his music, but he's undeniably good), Sufjan Stevens, Conor Oberst, etc.

Now you've made me feel old. I remember buying my first record in 1988. Spending about 15 minutes deciding between two records as it was such a huge deal to me.

 

I've only heard the England Keep My Bones, which I loved, so may check this out.

Well, at least that's confirmation that the $30 LP doesn't contain any of the bonus tracks. Fucking ridiculous.
