BOUNCING SOULS "Ghosts..." LP - 3rd Pressing


Recommended Posts

i don't get people that prefer their "old stuff";

how i spent my summer vacation and everything after > everything before

Blasphemy! The Good, The Bad, The Argyle and Maniacal Laughter are easily their two best full-lengths.

All their albums are good, but I feel like their albums make a chronological bell curve. Their peak is How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Anchors Aweigh. Their last album had some good jams, and then some songs that were meh.

Wheres the "I CELEBRATE THEIR ENTIRE CATALOG" photo?

OLD GUY ALERT: I was in college when Maniacal Laughter came out and it was just several orders of magnitude better than a lot of that style of punk at the time. It's really a near-perfect record.

I figured. All the old souls fans will agree. It really is an awesome album. Their bell curve is marginal for me. Its not like their other releases were much better or much worse to me, but the two I mentioned mean the most to me. The Bouncing Souls are that type of band where whatever album got you into them absolutely means the world to you.

I totally get that this is subjective but I have such a hard time understanding why people think How I Spent My Summer Vacation is anywhere near was good as the rest of their catalogue. To me, it's an average pop punk record with a few above-average standouts.

For the record, although I've been into the Souls since their first record, I am not some old bastard who thinks the old stuff is naturally better than the new stuff. I think Maniacal Laughter and Anchors Aweigh are on par with each other in terms of excellence.
