      Booya.

      Such awesome albums. Their newest (These Are Good Times People) is amazing. The only albums I haven't gotten into is Love Everybody.But TAGTP totally redeems them, if they even needed redemption in the first place.

      Peace.

      I just ordered 'Freaked Out & Small' yesterday and am currently listening to 'I' right now.

      Weird timing.

      Freaked Out and Small is good.

      Meanwhile Back in the City is the best song on the album. Such a good, like, jazzy-rock thing going on there.

      I don't like how they've dropped their "Hee-Haw/Honkey Tonk Punk" sound for a more general pop-punk sound, but it's still good stuff.

      Well, I thought 'II' was pretty bland for the most part (The first half, mostly) so unless the songwriting slips, it's hard for these guys to do wrong.

      FUCK YEAH!
      Seattle Band!
      My favorite song has gotta be Some Postman, but they have a lot of great songs. I also really love Peaches.

      It's hard to believe Dune Buggy was one of my favorite songs as a kid.

      I didn't get into 'weirder' music until a bit later than that.

      That said, I still have it stuck in my head way too much.

      Damn, Trev. 'Tiger Bomb' is one catchy song. 'Freaked Out & Small' is great so far. Can't wait to hear Good Times next. (I don't have 'Love Everybody')

      Love Everybody is their worst. You wouldn't be missing much.

      Good Times really IS awesome. I love this. It's like a culmination of all their styles.

      I'll use this band the next time someone tells me bands shouldn't reunite after they break up. They clearly haven't lost their spark.

      They sort of did with their comeback album, but Good Times redeemed.

      [/quote1218877706]You don't think 'Freaked Out And Small' is inspired?

      I thought it was much more inspired than 'II was.

      I went on assuming that Love Everybody was their comeback.
      It's kind of ambiguous what their comeback would be… they sort of had two. But FOAS is good.

      Oh. I thought you meant FOAS cause that was when they reformed. But hell, there's been 4 years between every album since II. I guess every album is a comeback. 😛
