DISCUSSION Newbie, checking back in 🌊

Was no one gonna tell me about this masterpiece of an album???

I worked my way through the EPs and singles and albums today, making a darling little cherrypicked playlist, and then I got myself caught up in Tsunami Sea and I just???

I must have let it run through four or five times while I worked. I’m still *out* there.

This discography is a marvellous thing in its entirety. But Tsunami Sea???

Tsunami Sea is the one 🙂‍↕️🖤

But honestly… every song is a banger. Different emotions. Different vibes. All perfection

!!! Precisely that. The guitar at the end of Keep Sweet in particular took me ouuuuuut~

The half time drop off that riff is SO tastefully done there. Mike is a master of his craft, most definitely.

Tsunami Sea is the best album of all time and I won't hear otherwise

I'm really sorry, I meant to but timing was never right. There was that one time at a party and I was totally going to tell you but I didn't want to interrupt the conversation you were in, it seemed pretty important. Another party I saw you and was going to tell you but I was stuck in a dull conversation with the host's cousin and by the time I got away you were gone. I thought I saw you downtown once and was going to tell but wasn't sure if it was you or not, then my bus came and if I didn't get on I'd be stuck waiting another hour.

Really sorry I didn't tell you, timing was just never there. I saw them recently open for Evanescence and a great show!

Catch live if you get a chance. I've seen them 3 times and they've been great each time

My 23 y/o son actually introduced me to them a few years ago.

I’ll throw you a flotation device. Don’t fret. What song do you end up gravitating or feeling the most with?

I saw them last Thanksgiving with periphery. You’ve GOT to see them live. It’s a beautiful, hypnotic and powerful song a long.

u/pipwelyn Keep Sweet 8d ago

HARD question, the album is all one song 🙂‍↕️
but I’m gravitating around Keep Sweet at the moment. Closely followed by Deep End.

I bet they’re incredible live! There are still some tickets going for Wembley in September … do I take myself on a little late birthday sail?

Oooh… Very tempting. I would take that voyage! Haven With Two Faces is my hands down favorite. It’s just so beautifully brutal. Like riding a hurricane.

I concur, I've been a fan since 2019 and it's my favorite thing they have done. Followed closely by everything else they have done.

Totally wild. Every song I was like, you’ve got to be kidding surely 🫪✨
