I think you're exaggerating a bit. You could have stumbled from one side to the other while drunk and been just fine. It would have been good, but there's still plenty of room left if you love it that much.
I showed up after the cops had already cleared out 🙂
Honestly, I don't get why the police aren't stationed outside every single bar in downtown Chicago to make sure they shut down right on schedule. Those places are just breeding grounds for reckless capitalist types. One day, they’ll probably be auditing their grandkids' bank accounts too 😢 🙂
It’s funny how everyone on the My Morning Jacket forum was so hyped for the new album that some legend decided to start a thread asking for an all-time MMJ discography list.
For almost every die-hard fan out there, *Euclid* was actually the last one they heard. Honestly, I hate to admit it, but I’m guilty of that too.
I did give Mont de Sundu a listen. It isn't exactly relaxing, but it definitely has its own vibe.
I was into it at first, but I have to admit I started losing interest pretty early on. That said, I think I’m finally ready to really dive in and give them my full attention.
It isn't even the questionable stuff that bothers me. It’s something I can't quite put my finger on yet. I know exactly how I felt when I first heard those first two tracks, and when IBM and Z dropped. I felt like a little kid. With their earlier stuff, it didn't hit me that way right away.
Here is my latest childish theory: maybe this band wasn't meant to become a massive stadium act. I'm afraid they've moved too far away from that specific sound that made them who they were. And if they tried to go back to it ten years from now, I wouldn't give them credit for it. Honestly.
Personally, I think MMJ, Bon Iver, and Fleet Foxes are all top-tier bands. Fleet Foxes have this incredible EP that sounds nothing like Bon Iver or MMJ. It’s pure hippie vibes—heavy harmonies that just melt your brain, essential oils, some kind of cosmic cowboy folk, and a sound that predates CSNY. It’s all about Mother Nature, sunshine, and that refined, trippy sort of magic. Maybe 🙂 would find it a bit much, but you really need to check out the EP they dropped before their first album.

I can't quite make sense of that last post. It looks like a typo or maybe just some random characters. If you were trying to say something specific, go ahead and try again. I'm listening.
