pg 2.

i'm not quite feeling this new one yet.

i mean, it sounds like clear, clean production and stuff, but it seems to maybe not have the sometimes-fierce energy of past releases

Yeah. And the stuff I do like on this one is the melancholy slow stuff, so it doesn't feel very energetic at all.

And yes, ZiP, it is obviously because I am emo.

I'm really only down for fast Darnielle and angry Darnielle. Sad Darnielle just doesn't do it for me.

I'm a sucker for sad songs. And I'm an even bigger sucker for upbeat sad songs.

Upbeat anything is good to me, sad or not.

But this album is anything but.

Just listened to it today and I am disappointed as well. Its not bad but I just wasn't enjoying it, kinda like with the new tom petty album.

I just downloaded his Babylon Springs EP and I love it. Pretty much puts Get Lonely to shame IMO.

Sounds like I'm one of few that actually liked Get Lonely.

It's not as good as some of the other albums, for sure, but it's a niche album. It fills that "most depressing album" hole in the collection, trumping previous TMG albums.

"And I will get lonely and gasp for air
and send your name up from my lips like a signal flare."

"some days I think I'd feel better if I tried harder
most days I know it's not true"

It's growing on me.

I'm not really getting into it. It's not bad, but not really that good either.
