Very different to the other standout tracks on OMT but so damn near perfect. Love the guitar in the verses 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'm obsessed with If You Never Left, the guitar at the end is pure Tom Delongeness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassKirbycide Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 2 hours ago, Russel Coight said: I agree with you 100% but this is a complete 180 on your skiba era views. Back then you criticised the shit out of the band for writing songs about breakups, being young etc cause they’re older now and should write about that. To play devil’s advocate, songs like that do feel more authentic with Tom in the band, since he never lost his immature, adolescent persona. Even during peak “I’M A SERIOUS ARTIST” era early on in AVA, he still told jokes about spreading barbecue sauce on his buttcheeks when I saw them live. I agree there’s definitely a bit of hypocrisy, but I get why those songs might feel more appropriate now than in the Skiba era. But also I’m admittedly a Tombot, so I can do plenty of mental gymnastics to justify liking this more than California. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these lyrics are obviously in relation to the rich girls he’s banging with his wife. I’m ashamed to admit I googled this to see if it was true… I’m a dumbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 the only thing i could do without is Mark's metallic voice, i can't believe there is no way to make him sound normal? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s weird is that there’s moments (like If You Never Left chorus, first verse on All In My Head) where he does sound perfectly normal. And better. I don’t get the heavy effects either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That chorus is fucking great It definitely grew a bit after the rest of the songs were released. Fits better next to those than See You, Cut Me Off, No Fun as a more upbeat song. Still just okay just not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Didn't he say his vocal chords were completely wrecked by the chemotherapy? I think it's okay if he gets a few touch ups here and there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 His voice definitely doesn't have as much oomph as it used to have. He seems to sing a lot softer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I dunno I think he sounds great live so why they have to touch him up so much is beyond me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Also I imagine the bulk of these songs were recorded whilst they were on tour so his voice was under even more strain than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 We know they use a live-auto tune on tour but he sounds just fine, I wish there was a way to get rid of that metallic tinge in the voice on the album because I love his voice, but it’s alright. I’d rather hear slightly off pitch vocals than flawless but metallic sounding ones. With Travis I think it’s more a stylistic thing though, like in all the modern hip hop stuff he listens to. Very electronic production, therefore electronic vocals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fran.182 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 "Everyone Everywhere" is the biggest grower for me so far. "Exodus from the mind" is such a cool line. Both this and "All In My Head" have some of those insanity and escapist vibes "Turpentine" did so well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
