mbfischer12 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Definitely a "Greatest Story" vibe from this. I've listened a few times and it's really, really solid. This is going to be one of those albums where everyone has a different favorite song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donlombardo Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think it sounds like a healthy mix between the last three records, it has the dual vocals from Oh! Calcutta!, the "record"-feeling with stuff between songs and some melodies reminds me of Greatest Story and the songs themselves remind me of Apathy.

mbfischer12 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 yup the ones that have stuck with me the most are YMCA and Paradise Shitty Paradise Shitty steals a vocal cadence(?) melody(?) from BK & the Wandering Birds' - Ramblin' Revisited. YMCA is great and I love the tie ins with the first and last tracks. Great theme of time passing throughout the whole album. Very introspective Chris type stuff.

SaulManella Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It leaked. And it's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylet Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It leaked. And it's incredible. Nice! I'm blocked from what.cd for awhile. My ratio got all jacked up after my computer crashed and I needed to redownload like 30 records. Anybody know any other trusted sites that have the leak?

YMCA is great and I love the tie ins with the first and last tracks. Great theme of time passing throughout the whole album. Very introspective Chris type stuff. The Lawrence Arms have like 3 melodies and 3 chord progressions they use over and over. It's one of the reasons I love them so much. If it ain't broke...

exitenglish1208 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 seventeener followed by beautiful things is the best one two punch of songs i've heard in a very long time. this record is phenomenal. jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Anyone else feel like that "Beautiful Things" guitar riff sounds like Junction 18? Got-DAMN, I miss that band. This album just rocks. Seventeener makes me wanna cry because it reminds me that I'm old, just like my birthday did today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moglog Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good news for Midwesterners (not me), they just tweeted this: "Midwesterners who preordered #metropole on vinyl: a lucky 300 of you will get the SUPER Limited smoky blue/grey version. Love y'all! Thanks!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why only midwesterners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 they did this for the propagandhi release as well. Sent red copies to canadians from TLA facebook "A lucky 300 midwesterners who preordered the Metropole colored vinyl will be surprised with the super duper limited edition smoky blue grey instead of the (still limited, and still awesome) orange. Thanks for being a great home to The Lawrence Arms, midwest! love you! Xoxoxox" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why only midwesterners? In honor of their Midwestern upbringing. Epitaph did this for Canadians for Propagandhi - Failed States. I hope theres a cool Euro version coming.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ah, that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Also does this mean that its /300 smoky blue grey and /800 Orange or /300 and /500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Remember they put the orange back up after it sold out and the said they were working on something? Thinking it was this. Which would make me think they put up an additional 300 the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
