Quote from: Lonndown27 on May 05, 2025, 10:45 AMRIVER ROAD is so cool live and it makes me appreciate the studio version more. But I don't get why they didn't just go for it that way in the studio.100% agree. I feel like this album coulda been a neat classic with a more fleshed out River Road, Die for It, and Beginning from the Ending. It'd be like Z not allowing Lay Low and Dondante to stretch their legs...I hope the next album they combine the hood songwriting of "is" with the extended fun of self-titled. Not all songs need 3-4 minutes of jamming, but when appropriate, they need to let them have some more time. I guess O'Brien was not a fan of jamming.
I can hear your love is still flat for me..
LEMME KNOW reached new heights when the power went out and the crowd kept chanting the chorus like it was a spanish ⚽️ match. It was glorious.
DIE FOR IT is only getting better. It's a total steambreathing experience of psychosexual exaltation.
The album just keeps getting better with more listening and the more we see these songs live. They're propulsive live. A lot more furious. I wish they could finally capture that In a record, but they did for moments here on the album that shocked me. They're getting closer!
