smailtronic Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I had the same reaction. I mostly thought the songs were pretty lame. It sounded more like a dashboard album than from FSF. Still, I hate judging by little snippets. Will still give the album a proper listen before judging, but I'm not going to be jumping on any preorders based on that teaser This. Very dashboardy, but at least it's not Jon Bunch singing. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I really didn't want to listen to the teaser. TMID is one of my favorite records. Part of it's epic-status in my book is that there's only one album. This feels like they're trying to make something happen that should have happened ten years ago. I listened to it. It feels right. It's not amazing, but it's got that classic FSF feel. While most of the players were the same, I think they sound like three different bands. I've always said that if Chris had stayed with FSF, I think they would have been as big as DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Don't get me wrong...I remember seeing FSF w/ Chris more times that I can remember here...as well as Strongarm... ...and always a fan of The Moon Is Down. But damn, these new songs...although their snippets, they are not getting me excited. They sound a'ight but not like "HOLY SHIT!!! THIS IS AMAZING NEW FSF!!!" Maybe once we get the full tracks and album. I think...think...that when I saw them a few months ago...or was it last year?...when they did the small club tour here, they played a couple of new songs. Even then they sounded OK.

FlippingOut Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The Moon Is Down has a classic status among fsf fans, that's going to be hard to compete against in our collective minds. Intentional or not were all going to compare this to TMID. It's going to be weird hearing new music from this version of further for the first time in over ten years.

FlippingOut Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 fixed it for you Do not go there! Gleason is tied with Chris for me. HTSAF is quite the follow up to TMID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviex2shoes Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 fixed it for you Honestly I think all 3 FSF records are good on their own. I liked that it was a different singer on each record. I actually really liked the Jon Bunch iteration of FSF, but I'd say I equally enjoy all 3 albums. The previews of this album my immediate thought was this just sounds like the last few Dashboard albums. I know that this is going to happen since basically dashboard confessional become a full band, but based on these songs it doesn't sound much different. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I think people that were expecting The Moon is Down part 2 are going to be super disappointed.

seangj Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 just brought myself to listen to the trailer. am i the only one that is pretty unimpressed? the last song is pretty good, but the other ones sound like they coulda been on a bad dashboard record or something. but, i hate hearing songs out of context like this. i hope it's awesome. This. "Rescue Trained" sounded the best. I will still buy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Honestly I think all 3 FSF records are good on their own. I think this is a better way to say it. I guess I don't mind Bunch as much on Hide Nothing because it's "his album". Although, hearing the diss song that Gleason did makes me think that I would've liked that album more had he sung on it. But when I hear Bunch singing the older songs, like on that live album, I get a little stabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hide Nothing I felt was a good album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard a band sound so gassed as they do at that show. What is the "diss" song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 They definitely all stand on their own. I just don't care for Gleason's vocals, and the mix felt overproduced on HTSAF. I really don't like Gleason's version of "There, Now I've Said It." Bunch's lyrics and vocals (as "Bleed") just seem a lot more fitting to me. With such a strong vocalist influence on the sound of the music, I tend to think of them as 3 different bands. Daniel Dopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dopp Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I view each album as their own entity. They're all FSF musically, but each singer brought something different to the table. All 3 albums were amazing and can't wait to hear what Black Penny sounds like. Also, I didn't hear anything resembling Dashboard Confessional's last few albums.

Bunch's lyrics and vocals (as "Bleed") just seem a lot more fitting to me. This was the diss. Gleason recorded really generic, lazy lyrics to the track and sent it back to the band as a middle finger when he left. His version later came out as "There, Now I've Said It" on a T&N sampler, but the band re-recorded the vocals with Bunch and released it as "Bleed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ha. Never knew that's how it went down. On the "best of" that T&N put out, that was the first time I heard "There, Now I've Said It" and thought it sounded awesome. Also, that Bjork cover that Gleason did was good. The sentiment that all albums stand on their own, I think, is probably how these are best viewed. That is, they're essentially three different bands. And I've been a fan of DC until Shade of Poision or whatever that apple tree album is called. So I kept up with the full band "sound." These sound distinctly different from that.

ronniegwilliams Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think I enjoyed the record they did with Hagar far more than their work with David Lee Roth. tkelly426 and dreamover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 man, this is disappointing. TMID is so good because it's so understated and raw. further seems forever is one of those bands that just sounds better with as little production as they can get by with. this sounds like chris got back together with another band to revive his career after dashboard, not a FSF record. wahhh booo whine wahhhh. i'll probably still give it a fair shot. where's my snowbirds and townies?
