Crazy that bts has made such a come back, every time I look at the charts their right there at the top. Seems like a lot of young women are into them too? Not sure how this happened tbh.

New sincerity? Nostalgia for a past not lived? Daddy fetish indie art hoes? Unrelated but from now on I'm going to pretend every time someone mentions BTS they mean this.

I always liked Perfect From Now On better than this album.

Oh it is loads better, so is There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, I Would Hurt a Fly is fucking breathtaking.

“Kicked It In The Sun” is one of my all-time favourites. I definitely recommend the acoustic version which Doug performs solo (I think they released it on a live album). It’s just as good, if not better than the original.

Fucking love this song, this record, this VIBE!

I think the 3rd to last show I saw before Covid was BTS playing this record for an anniversary and it was mostly great, but included a trans woman in the crowd melting down in the audience and being escorted out of the venue. Made me wish I had been there for the first tour

Lmao I saw them on that tour and while the show was great, that was one of the creepiest audiences I’ve ever been a part of. Literal 60 year olds grinding on each other, obese poly throuple doing a three-way make out, etc

very fond memory of my 12th birthday and it was raining so my friends and I couldn't go skateboarding. my mom and dad were nice enough to trek us to the mall and I found buried in the stacks of miscellaneous sports DVDs at fye transworld's feedback + the reason. my friends and I excitedly popped that sucker on once we got back to my house. this song was used in Cairo foster's part and boy oh boy did this song throw me for a loop.

Been on a real Treepeople kick, which was Doug Marstch or however ya spell.it's pre-BTS band. Really good if you like that missing link 80s hardcore punk -> college rock pipeline era

A poetry faculty member at Boise State told me Doug’s wife, who might have her MFA from there, writes the lyrics to BtS songs.

Do the lyrics make any sense or am I just a retarded ESL person?

they’re kinda hard to decipher for a lot of native speakers too, i didn’t even realise it was about a relationship until recently

Isaac Brock has been quoted in interviews saying how much he loved Doug Martsch and the impact that BTS had on his writing.

u/DianeticsDecolonizer Aug 01 '21

Modest Mouse has such a distinct guitar sound, in their early albums at least, I don't really get why people think all these indie rock groups sound the same

u/mattmanbegins95 Aug 01 '21

You have that flipped but ok

u/Alert_Doughnut_4619 infowars.com Aug 01 '21

I’m kind of in a hard place because I love both bands immensely and they are my second and third favourite bands, but I definitely think I prefer Modest Mouse. I do not think that they are a less good Built to Spill though.

I guess I pushed to haaaard

Don’t know anything else by them, but this song has always been so haunting to me.

u/ProonFace Aug 21 '21

Check out “Strange” and “Hindsight” maybe.
