This is actually the best album ever

My second favorite album of the 2010s. So tender and heartfelt. Also the lo-fi aesthetic makes it leagues above the face to face version from 2018.

Well I heard this album after Face to Face so I can't say I like this one any better at all. FtF is perfection to me, and my favorite concept album, so obviously I like this one too but the production and instrumentation isn't quite there for me.

This is one of those album that either you absolutely love It or you hate It. I'm one of those that love It.
The thing is that Will Toledo isn't a Rockstar, you won't see him going around like he is some type of Jimi Hendrix, in fact i think you won't see him at all. Media can call him the new voice of Indie or something like that, but our generation doesn't need this, our generation of music listeners are most likely stuck at home doing nothing must of the time. We aren't heores, we aren't revolutionaries, we're just teens, we are just young adults, and through the lens of Will, we see an image of ourselves, screaming in our bed.
The lo-fi really works here, especially in the first half of the album, in the second, not so much, and that is the reason I still think their 2018 version is better, they remade "Cute Thing" and "High To Death" making them as enjoyable as for say "Sober to Death" that is especially good in lo-fi.
Anyway It doesn't mather wich version you like more, the two of them transmits the same message and are one of the best things I heard in a long, long, time.

En general lo disfruté, tiene ideas interesantes tanto musicales y líricas, me gusta el parecido a la música de Ray Davies. Un gran inconveniente que le encuentro es la duración de algunas canciones y la mezcla de sonido esta lejos de ser la mejor pero aún así fue una grata experiencia, solo me quedaría escuchar la versión de 2018 para poder compararlas.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

crazy how this wasn't even added to this site for years after its release but now since it's been reworked this old version is about to break the top 2000.

listen on 96kbps and $2 dollars earbudds for true lo-fi experience

Fantastic album full of emotion and great lyrics. The sound quality isn't the best, but I think it gives the album a bit of charm, without ruining it completely. An album that always helps me when I'm down.
