@FairyCRat

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I really love to listen back and notice how they progressed Ten Hours was 20 minutes long, only basic rock instrumentation, really just the prototype of what FoO would eventually become Gourmet Ravioli was 27 minutes, they gave themselves 2 more hours, tried to add more stuff in there, especially the first piano-led tracks and Halloween songs, but still held back by the writing process that was similar to Ten Hours (laying down instrumentals and writing lyrics at the very end) GREG was 22 minutes, most songs are less than 2 minutes long, but you can instantly hear how they're much better thought-out, as they were each created within such specific contexts during their day, there is no such thing as the disasters that were "Possible Band Names" and "We Didn't Have Time to Get Lyrics on This One". Most importantly, it left them plenty of time to perfect Never Say Goodbye, making it sound like a proper, fully finished song that your average rock band would've taken weeks or months to make. Then you get the 11th song, which... is what it is, glad they didn't attempt it again this time. Chaos is really a continuation of that, just 18 minutes, but every song is a bop you can play on repeat, the album is brimming with ideas and exotic instrumentation, and just like last time, there's an amazing closing track (but no Greg unfortunately)

Tons of respect for your first two albums, but I felt the third one was a major step up in quality. And I think this one is even better. How you cranked out a song like "Find a way" in that short amount of time is just insane.

1. Rob has NO RIGHT to play small stringed instruments like that but I love it 2. More metal vocals from Andrew is a big yes 3. "Every time" 4. Glad "in your area" made a cameo

Nothing but bangers, but I'd expect nothing less.

Wow, I was already impressed with the previous years, but this is my favorite one so far! I don't think you always need to improve with each Song/Album/Project you put out, but this one is so consistent from song to song. Not only with the darker vibe (at least the first half of the album), but also in terms of quality. I enjoyed the songs in previous years, where it was obvious that they were created when time had almost run out, but this year I'm unable to tell which one was finished last without having watched Rob's BTS Video yet. Also, it just dawned on me that I would love to see a live performance of First of October (maybe just as an one-take video with guest musicians like Jessica Burdeaux on drums?)!

I love when you and Rob do these albums. Find The Way really hit home for me. Right in the feels with that one.

This band never disappoints in entertaining and child-like experimental music. It reminds me why I loved music growing up, makes me wanna pick up drumming again.🙂✨

All the feels with that vocal arrengement in find the way. Amazing job!

The quality of these albums always blows my mind! It's amazing what a group of talented musicians and producers can create in such a short amount of time.

it's just amazing how every year the albums just keep getting better and better (I'm about to add every single song to my Playlist)

'Love to say I love you' is a legit amazing ballad. This generation's 'More than Words'

This album is the official start of my holiday season every year.

You've done it again! I loved the first edition and loved each new installment of the series even more than the last. Genuinely impressed with all the team's hard work, with the quality of the songs you manage to put out, and just watching you guys every year fills me with so much joy, which I really needed a little extra this October so THANK YOU!

Love To Say I Love You really got me and I was not expecting that! As a newer dad moments like that are still pretty fresh in memory. It was really incredible to see the difference in the fun 'random' songs compared to one that was inspired by a personal moment; very raw and special to have captured here. Also, it could be a chart topper; great work!

Sooo good! Great job to the team that made this possible!

The Riff Lord solo is fire! 🔥🔥

That was one of the best albums I’ve ever heard, and you guys did it in one day. Y’all have gotta be some of the best songwriters on KZread.

Every song feels absolutely flawless. You guys are getting better every year!

You're truly getting better and better at it every year! This feels like it has a theme and kind of a new vibe thanks to all the instruments you used this time. I listened to it tonight, not connecting to most songs to be honest, but after watching the behind the scenes and listening to it again now I really think it's your best work so far. It's incredible to see you guys work, and seeing the improvisational skills, your thoughts and hard work going into every track makes the album just a thousand times better. All the details, the incredible time management, all the chaos and even four (!!!) Halloween songs make "Chaos" just super special! Well done guys!

Favorite album from y'all so far. Please consider pressing a vinyl of this one!
