Love1 does have some great moments, so its not that i dislike it at all. But just complete album vs complete album, i would always take Love2. I guess im just not 'tired of the same ideas running thin' that ive heard is the general consenus of Love2. With these next string of shows coming up, im more looking forward to hearing Dry Your Eyes than Clever Love (assuming both still get played). I do love Hallucinations, but i feel Anxiety is so close to it (quality-wise), that they are basically equal as #1 singles. I also really like both Moon songs, so they basically equal each other for me. Revelator and Interia are both as good for me as Letters and Behold. Ive always liked All That We Are more than Origins of Fire as a closer. Always liked Saturday Love more than Flight of Apollo. And where Love2 really pulls away for me is A) the strength of Surrender (which I view as a Top5 AVA song based on its live performance and crowd participation and sing-along), i like miles ahead of something like Young London or a fellow single like Epic Holiday. And b) One Last Thing being such a high standout for me. Yeah I'm with you on this one! Anxiety isn't just close quality wise to Hallucinations, it beats it imo. As much as I love Love 1, when Love 2 was released I was euphoric, I honestly though it was their best work. These days I like both albums, but part two is the better half 1 Quote

Although I haven’t checked out much because it usually turns me off by being boring and lame. Secret Crowds was a good one and so was tremors tho. Outside of those and WDNTW, AvA just doesn’t do it for me 2 Quote

It has all the classic Tom elements. Some silly but catchy 80s influence, nicely toned guitar riffs, moving chorus melody, nice little breakdown and finale. I'm in love with their new music!!! It sounds great on vinyl as well, I bought a few of the 7'' when they were on sale! 2 Quote
zzzz Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I’m ready for Time Bomb to drop, blaring Kiss & Tell right now, such a banger...still can’t believe they’ve dropped it off the setlist. 1 Quote

WolfUgly Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I have a question for atom, If he was still with the band, do you think we would have received an album such as the dream walker, or would it have been steered in a completely different direction? Quote
Lauren Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Im watching like an 6 hour long video tutorial of Tom Lorde Alge mixing and talking about The Adventure. Awesome stuff, but what surprised me the most is him furious about how badly the drums were recorded and how some channels were unusable. Like room mics, and he couldnt even use the hi hat mic. Maybe thats why the hi hat is room sound only?He said there was like at least 5 drum mics unusable. Hes guessing that an engineer dialed in a sound, then Atom came in and played so loud he probably ruined everything (the dialed in pre amps, and stuff). And he said he HATES how much and loud atom played the hi hat, it was hard to mix because of it, and he would have smashed his hand and told him to stop if he was there hahaha. Never knew that. 1 Quote

I've always thought that it would be a nightmare mixing the recordings from drummers like Atom and Travis that beat the shit out of the cymbals. Guess we got it confirmed lol 1 Quote

Passion, sure, but come on haha 1 Quote
