I mean I like Told You So but it's nowhere near any of my faves from that album either :P It kinda just felt like a discount Hard Times really x

have u listened to after laughter 👀

 

rose coloured boy is boppier than hard times, y'all are sleeping on that

The girls at work complimented my Fake Happy shirt today, I've changed my opinion.

 

Seriously though, listened again to Told You So trying to remove all preconceived biases, still don't like it. Their sound is so variable in quality right on the album, there's Fake Happy which is blindingly amazing, Rose-Coloured Boy which is nearly as so, and then there's that. And Hard Times... eh... it's so average.

 

The one thing you could accuse me of in taste court with After Laughter is not giving enough time to some of the more grower-like tracks, like 26 or Pool (and even that's a bit experimental and I have to be in a certain mood for), which to be fair, I do that all the time with albums, I didn't care for Last Hope until a few years after the release of the self-titled. But singles represent the album for me and they chose SO POORLY. And it's not like Riot where even if the singles are comparatively weak, the quality is so high that they're just the worst of a great bunch. On After Laughter there's weak ones like Caught In The Middle and Grudges where the vocals just tail off into emotional nothingness so many times and it's nowhere near as addictive as their other stuff.

 

Like, at least I like the 'right ones' on After Laughter, right? Fake Happy, 26 and Rose-Coloured Boy (+ No Friend because I'm an edgelord), those are the tastemaker's darlings. I'm just a bit more critical of it.

of course as soon as our forum got binned Hayley starts teasing new music on instagram :rolleyes:

 

 

(captioned "lovely things you dont" and also had Joey their touring bassist tagged)

 

 

(video intentionally has no sound and is captioned "and all the lonely,")

 

 

(captioned "what you see", the photo was also taken by Zac)

 

SO

 

a lot of people are thinking these are potential lyrics as if read backwards they say "what you see and all the lonely, lovely things you dont" plus we can guess Hayley is writing from the guitar clip. She's said before she loves the acoustic things Taylor writes so maybe they're gonna take that sort of approach for album 6?

 

Hayley's also taking a short social media break again, she does that quite often but maybe this time its so they can get some recording done? :o

With confirmation they've been in the studio (apparently recording an album with heavy drums and guitar!!) This could maybe be released this summer/autumn with this headlining festival lining up with their touring plans PLEASE

 

The line up for that is nothing short of insane tho like ???

It’s a shame it’s all on one day though! You’d probably only get to see 8-10 bands on there at the most.
Yea and it would depend on stage times as well, it's a shame it's only the one date in America too as I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could be!
