thejesseb Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 How anyone can think this is beyond me. Band brings it to another level for every release. TGG was a good Wonder Years album but it in no way was the brilliant masterpiece that all the hype made it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 TGG was a good Wonder Years album but it in no way was the brilliant masterpiece that all the hype made it out to be. I mean, it's probably currently my #1 or #2 album, will keep loving it for a year or so, start not going about it in a year, then they will put out another album that exceeds any expectations I had. At least that's been what they've been doing for years. Every time I feel I'm done with the band they put out something that I really really like.

searos Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Normally my album of the year is taken by a band I have never heard of with little to no expectations that blows me away. While acts like Jimmy Eat World (my favorite band), The Front Bottoms, Fall Out Boy (one of my favorite bands who I just saw live), and The Wonder Years really released some killer stuff my album of the year so far remains to be Twenty One Pilots - Vessel. That album is original, creative, catchy, and fun. I got a chance to see them at a chili cook off and it was a blast. The Front Bottoms really could've been my #1 but the more I listen to Talon of The Hawk the more I realize despite being their most cohesive and well produced release I do feel some of the magic the self title had is not there. I think their last album was just a bit more wild and for it was incredibly memorable. Talon of The Hawk is a beast of an album though and its still one of my favorites of the year.

cwhitmuzik Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 more people need to think Owel is their AOTY because it may be so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This is probably second on my AOTY list, behind Streetlight Manifesto. These guys did a better job conveying a message in one song (twin size mattress) than TWY did with conveying that same message through an entire album (Suburbia).

scottheisel Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 This album rules, and I did not like the first one at all. How anyone could say it's a "disappointment" is beyond me. "Skeleton" is a fucking flawless song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffbloom Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think there was two different states of mind when listening to the self titled record. Listening to it before you had seen them live, and listening to the after you'd been in the middle of the giant singing dance party that is their live show. I Know if I hadn't experienced it, I never would have liked the album at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The only thing better than the new album, is vibing it live. ppl dissing on TFB are more than likely a group of jive ass turkeys Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitsportsguy27 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Saw them in pontiac and they were incredible, I also like this record better than the self titled, although I don't really have a solid reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy. Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'mma throw this out there again, anyone with the cassettes that they decided they didn't want, I'm looking to buy (preferably the r/w/b). C'mon guys! Someone's got to have this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I am very late on this, but this record is on non-stop rotation for me (much to my girlfriend's chagrin). However, my DL code was for the first album. Anyone else have this problem? Contacted Bar-None so we'll see if they can get me the proper one but just wanted to see if I was an outlier.

andy. Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Instead of making a whole new thread for this, I figured I'd post it here. It's been awhile since this came out. I'm still looking for the cassettes that were released. I know someone out there wants to get rid of their copies. PM me and we can work something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrrom92 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Gotta admit I'm not really at all familiar with their music but people at the brand new show seemed to really dig it so I guess it can't be bad. Picked up this LP at their merch table, have yet to spin it. Seems likable, if not really particularly my kinda thing, but I'm excited to really check the songs out.
