Yeah, I liked In Absentia and Deadwing when they came out, and for whatever reason fell out of love with them hard.
Did you try Fear of a Blank Planet or The Incident? Both are quite heavy and excellent records imo
I checked out a few songs from Fear. Don't remember listening to anything from The Incident.
Working on my list, some albums from the past 24 hours or so:
Never properly checked this out til now. It was good, but a bit light and fluffy and sugary. Gonna give it another chance though.
Musically very cool, never heard punk sounding so varied and structurally interesting, but way too screamy.
Really wanted to like this, as one of my favourite bands is good friends and inspired by these guys, but it gets very samey after a few songs.
I had no idea this dude was a folk guy, or I might have checked him out sooner. This was very good, and very intriguing, I definitely need to listen to this one more.
