Brock N Roll Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 maybe Listen and Forgive was a giant snooze fest despite how intricate and sonically appealing YOU feel it was? billya, cwhitmuzik, searos and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceghost Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm a huge Transit fan, have been since about 2009. I've loved everything they've done so far but had the lowest expectations for this album after listening to the two released tracks. I listened to it once last night and have to say that I really enjoyed it. Not saying every track is great, but it's really different and catchy. Maybe as a "Transit release" I'm a little disappointed but I really don't know what else they could have put together as every album has been different than the last, and in a more softer direction.

thejesseb Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I really want to hear this title track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostVillasBlues2K Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ok, dude. Whatever, I'm not going to turn this into an internet fight, but if you're going to try and be snub, at least bring some kind of point to the table. Not trying to be an asshole or fight, just joining in on the subjectivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejesseb Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Listened to the title track. It isnt good but it isnt deplorable like some people made it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Someone sell me their /300 variant since you guys seem to hate it so much. I have still yet to listen to the album. But I enjoyed both songs that they released. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I knew there'd be that guy...There will always be those people who hate to admit that maybe Listen and Forgive was their best album because it was intricate and still managed to be sonically appealing. Eh, still a great album, which I don't "hate to admit" because I'll gladly state any popular or unpopular opinion I have. Just not the same Transit I love and know.

searos Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I never feel shame downloading leaks cause I always have pre-orders in. My copy has not come yet so I am gonna listen to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Been seeing a lot of speculation about the band breaking up after this tour. Hoping its not true. it makes sense with the side projects and the effort they're obviously putting into them is more than transit at this point, so it feels.

searos Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I like this album a lot so far. It doesn't sound like transit but just sounds like good pop rock. Even the title track people are shitting on is actually not as bad as people made it out to be. I hear a bit of a third eye blind feel with this album. I think I will like Listen and Forgive more but I definitely like it more than their early work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PostVillasBlues2K Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah a majority of this new album is Pop. I've seen this band lose more and more energy with every release since This Will Not Define Us. Disappointing. That being said, for what it is (a pop rock album), I still think it's decent. Totally agree. I even appreciate the song "Young New England". Props to them for taking chances. He does some cool vocal inflections on this record.

alogical Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I really enjoy the two songs that they've released already, despite all the criticism. I will go into this open minded and see how I like it. As someone said, maybe you should listen to it as an album not a Transit album. If that makes any sense, just forget what they've done in the past, then make a decision. EmoVeganBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never listened to them, but saw them live and figured I'd give them an honest shot with this new album. I'll give their older albums some play and see how I feel about the band, but this album is not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That title track is just awkward, but I appreciate their attempts to branch out. Can't expect perfection all the time, you know?

Also their tracks made me think my speakers were dying because of poorly his vocals are Royce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrangerwithcandy Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wow, you guys make it seem like Young New England is the worst song ever recorded. I actually like it, and clearly if you think this is the worst you've never heard Lulu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggiecorecords Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 4 tracks in and this album rules! Not sure where all the hate is coming from, and I think Joe B's vocals sound great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
