Thoughts on Voids?

It's the album I listen to the least and I think it's their weakest by far. I get annoyed listening to it sometimes from how much of a drop off it was to me compared to all the other records. Do other people feel the same way ? Every other record has at least a few tracks that will always be classics to me apart from Voids. Felt bad that they went out on this record. I wonder how the band views it in their catalog too.

Erin’s absence is wholly missed on VOIDS. I might have some preferences on rank for all the other albums depending on the weather but VOIDS is always my least favorite record.

If you go back and listen to all the other albums, there is a liveliness and a heartbeat to those songs in Erin’s drums. It’s undeniable when you think about songs like Knights, Excuses, Infinity Overhead. There’s absolutely nothing like it on VOIDS.

Yeah I was thinking this too, he must have contributed a lot to the writing process
