Members mhuxtable Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Anyone else get this album yet??? I just got the box set in the mail...holy {censored} so {censored}ing good. I'm so glad they actually made another album. If you haven't heard it...its a concept album telling the story of a number of circus animals who escaped after the train transporting them crashed. Not only are their grooves solid, guitars are sweet as hell, healthy dose of interesting effects, but Aaron is probably one of the best lyricists of our time. Not to mention they are all probably the most genuinely nice people I have ever met. Promo video thing: nI-ZDwDsxWw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 i know i'm always the negative nancy about well loved bands but listening to this band gives me douche chills faster than you can say stream of consciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted July 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 i dont think this band is well loved. i dont get the douche chills at all though.....maybe because i've followed them since the beginning & know how genuine they are? you might like earlier material for context? here's one song from each album in chronological order....they've made quite the progression: sTgAzRovhWk TihaUBjvN7k SMd35tfCiXQ _ZEX6w3-KbE but really it is hard to capture their progression....their albums are very much "whole works" if that makes sense...

Members Crxsh Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 I haven't liked anything they've done except Catch For Us The Foxes. Which is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brandnewzo Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Love it. Saw them the other night in Denver. They always put on a really good live show too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitardustin Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah I oddly love them too and it's really not the type of stuff I'm typically into. Brother, Sister pretty much had me hooked at the first song. Messes of Men is probably one of my all time favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted July 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 We're going to see them in August...it'll be the 9th or 10th time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted July 22, 2012 Members Share Posted July 22, 2012 Definitely gotta check this out. I've got the first few albums and got to see them perform a few times, and even got to eat some pizza with them once, but I guess I kinda fell of before the last album. Certainly interesting stuff and not your run-of-the-mill alternative stuff. Fantastic performers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OrangeLazarus Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 I wasn't supremely into the newer stuff but this seems like they're going back to the intensity of Foxes which I love. Aaron is probably my favorite lyricist off all time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron is probably my favorite lyricist off all time too. agreed about Aaron's lyrics....I'd say this is closer to Brother, Sister....or more accurately, a combination of Foxes & It's All Crazy...
