  • Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

    I actually think the artwork is a much larger focus on this record specifically because the music is less of a focus. TPTPTD was practically the exact opposite. It’s funny some people here will accuse the band of trying too hard and others will accuse them of not trying hard enough.

    It can’t be stated enough that this record pretty much breaks out of almost every pattern the band has held to in recent releases. No one should feel obliged to support it or hate it, necessarily, but I also think that it’s short sighted to expect the same product from a much, much different process. This is a band that put years of effort into the last three records it released. They wrote this one via email and recorded it in a couple of days. There are a total of 8 original songs on it, two of which we’ve heard in the past in some form. So really, 6 fresh songs, directly influenced by Dan the Automator challenging the band to move past their perfectionist tendencies and let the songs be what they are.

    Call it boring, call it uninspired, call it the wrong approach. Everyone has an opinion and it’s certainly all valid. But I just think the context behind all of this is being missed by most people, and I think more people will get more out of the record by factoring that context in to their listening experience. Just my perspective.

      Yeah you're probably right since I haven't been active in a while and kinda just lurking lately but I figured it was worth a shot. At least I have proof that I'm supporting the band. Being along for the ride since Leitmotif I've been watching them grow and change with each release and after listening to the new single and the sample of Down Without a Fight I have to say I'm VERY excited to hear the new sound. Makes me feel like a kid staring at a ps3 sized box under the x-mas tree and hoping that's what I'm getting.

        I don't think it has anything to do with activity. I think it has more to do with who you know. If there were an actual leak, something that someone put out there for others to have that they were not supposed to put out there, we'd all have it. It's happened before. But this is something different for once. Besides, there's about a month to go. Guess we'll see what happens in that time.

        I still wish I could buy it digitally, right now.

          Thanks Gnomad . . . very sad . . .

          It made me kind of sad when I'd talk about Thursday, the band, in high school and everyone would just look at me and say something snarky about the day of the week.

            I have nothing to say about the new album but I'm nearing post number 666 which I find pretty cool, so...

                Fawst - Yeah, I can definitely agree on the digital download, but only if I could get a FLAC or V0 rip. But then again that defeats why I download torrents in the first place, if I like the album I go out and buy a physical copy for the art, or if I particularly like the band I pick up 2 copies (one for listening, and one for ripping up the package and taking scans of it to put with the digital copy). Still, I'm just brimming with anticipation.

                  If I really was the devil, I would have snuck into the pressing plant and replaced all of the music for the new album with this:

                            “I had more impactful moments in my life recently than when making past albums,” Gavin
                            says. “More inspiring. Meeting my biological family was a big deal for me and interesting
                            on many levels. We just decided to document this moment in time as a band and no make it
                            something beyond ourselves. It is what it is.”
