Having heard the album in various stages of production, hearing band members perception of the album and finally receiving my disc on time last night, I have just began to sit back, relax and enjoy the album for what it is. I was just wondering, for those who have purchased the album or have heard the what was your favorite track off of the album?
-
haven\'t received mine yet.
-
Good Things, don\'t even have to think twice about it.
-
I heard Gavins copy, and it\'s probably between Psyn, Future Peak, and overexposure for me. I need to listen to it more than once before I vote though.
On second thought the whole album is top notch. There isn\'t one song that I didn\'t absolutely love.
-
:awwyeah: Without a doubt - Good Things... AWESOME TUNE!!!! Definitely the first track to be listened to when you receive the album
-
i think the first track should be the first track you listen to but thats just how i do. no skippin around for this guy.

Good Things, don\'t even have to think twice about it.

I really like how Future Peak came out.
-
I haven\'t heard the album yet but I\'m glad people like the Good Things on it!! I loved this song since the first time I heard it... probably that was in January \'06 somewhere in CT. I can\'t wait to hear the album version now :D
-
Future Peek = :yawn: boring on the CD....
Good Things... combine a GRAND PIANO for keys, great lyrics, and awesome drums = best studio song ever!!!!

the studio album changes your perception on the live verison, how?

ummm... i guess just because:
a. i can hear the \'painful\' lyrics
b. there\'s a GRAND piano rather than keys
c. it\'s not a smokebreak song... I can listen & smoke @ the same time
:shrug:

but that doesn\'t change that fact that you\'ll be outside during the show when the song comes on.
I personally dislike Good Things live, however, I really enjoy it on the album, betta on album not live.

Been a Good Things fan since the first time I heard it, I can understand why some people aren\'t huge fans of it live. Very mellow, but you need a breather in a set sometimes. I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, easily the most mature song Tim\'s ever written. This coming froma guy who likes Ben Harper though so you figure it out.
I\'m just the opposite on Future Peak Robyn, wasn\'t a huge live fan, but I really like the album version, and I think it\'ll make me appreciate the live version more.

i really like how future peek came out, out of all the songs on the new album i listen to taht one the most. i like good things too, i catagorize both good thigns and future peek as those "inner struggle" songs, and the grand piano is the shit too (i used to play piano for 14 years). psygn is a little meh but its definately more a live song so the band can rip it up and showcase their skillz. late and the great > over exposure are the sparkling gems.

^^^dude is that the tick???

it took me a bit to gain full appreciation for GT. The debut at Porter\'s did quite get me, but seeing Mooboo\'s> Good Things> Mooboo\'s at Mill St. and then future Timmy Tour versions swayed me ever so.
-
still waiting for my album and when I can get it I will certainly give each a listen too and let you know what I think before I vote. As of right now since I have only heard a couple songs of the album I chose TL&TG>Overexposure, well live anyways. Can\'t wait to get the album, ordered it a few days ago so should be coming tomorrow!!!
-
theres really no excuse for NOT using a grand piano in the studio imo
-
How much does the cd cost at shows? Want to pick it up in Denver.

15 bucks or so..... can\'t be more than 20. they are also carrying around a credit card machine
-
the psygn on the album absolutely rips.
incredible album from cover to cover.
sunday will be 2 weeks on straight listening to it.
-
just recieved my copy and am up to good things

thanks for the update brah. Are we gonna get any opinions outta you? ;)

good things was very well done. i really liked the production on future peek, really well done. i feel sorta weird and defective because i just dont get into honey butter like the rest of the planet does. i assume that\'s something wrong with me, not the song. TLaTG > OE was really effin great. once again though, i feel like more time could have been taken on vocal production, i definitly hear a lot of spots where i feel like more time could have been taken to get better takes out of tim. but overall i think this is a great record.
what the hell is the deal with "august 11th-december 18th - extensive testing has been conducted in a yada yada yada...."?
(weird tidbit: my sobriety date is august 11th, 2004, and my first sobriety date from the first time i tried to get clean and sober was december 18th, 2002..... *cue eery music*)
-
Love \'em all, some more than others, but if forced to choose, it\'s gotta be Psygn. The jam just tears it up, but it can\'t top the live version I saw in Chi-Town.
-

Dud eyou lost the fro hence you lost the cool ;)

I\'m posting from the road..on my way to syracuse right now. Just listened too all of moxie epoxy. This album is by far the breakfasts best album and its one of my favorite albums of the last few years. Every track has something incredible and the production is outstanding. Tim really wrote some incredible music for this album and the lyrics are outstanding too. LATG > OE is fucking amazing w gapless playback. I\'m just in awe of this album and so glad to have this band in my life, this just made my weekend
-

Yeah, you no likey the honeybutter!!! :bandoggy:

i\'m still to poor to buy the album.....

I voted Future Peek. I\'ve always been a fan, and it came out great. Come 2007 TOT I\'ll be pushing this one big time.
Good Things is incredible. Sounds like something Paul McCartney would have wrote. I was never a fan live, it just doesn\'t suit my frame of mind when I\'m at a show, but listening to it alone in the car has allowed me to see what beautiful song it is. Tim\'s best song writing effort yet.
Intension is also right up there. Has Ron come a long way or what? Big time contribution from him on this album, and in a track order spot where things can get a little weak on some albums, this delivers PUNCH.
I was little disappointed in Surreal and Honey Butter, which are 2 of my absolute favorites live. With Surreal, at the live shows I think what I like is how Tim steps up to the mic and and gets your face with the lyrics. Huge difference in stage pressence and vocal authority from when he was this skinny kid swaying side to side signing GBFBITS. Hard to get that on tape. What Honey Butter was missing is just the crowd shouting the simple chorus. ANy song that gets a crowd shouting is great live. Would have been cool if they rounded up some fans for a backing vocal on this.
Overall great album. I\'ll be ordering my 2nd and 3rd copies later today (one for the wife, I won\'t share, and one for a friend in Florida)

listening to moxie epoxy or what ever the new albumz called when it gets released --not until halloween? !
Are they selling it at shows currently!! ?
just curious in montana
-
i think i am impressed most with how well future peek(which i was not huge on at first, but has been growing on me) and good things(which i loved from the first time i heard it at halloween a year ago) came out compared to what i expected...... also latg>overexposure is amazing, i think that is the most "live" sounding song on the album

Horizon (http://www.horizonmusicgroup.com/horizon/) is currently shipping....in stores at the end of the month.

I liek how FP came out on the album, but I\'m surprised it\'s doing so well. I agree though it came out great. I just have a spot in my heart for GT
-
:that:
FP really did come out VERY good
-
future peek came out the best no question. honey butter comes in second... as much as i have talked about how i dislike good things, i think that the recording on the album came out very well. i still don\'t think it\'s a good signature song for the band though. i am also not a fan of surreal radio and probably never will be.
-
late and the great > overexposure for life
i thought future peek came out grimey (in a good way) good thins is def. the best version i\'ve heard so far, but i really think that late and the great is my fave. powerful tune
oh yea, and i love surreal radio
:dodges rotten tomatoes:
-
I\'m still not a big fan of FP... the lyrics are la-dee-dah boring, and it doesn\'t really get explosive until about 5 mins. into the song. :shrug:
-
I\'m still not a huge fan of Surreal Radio, although it gets stuck in my head ALL the time!!
-
the jam in Surreal Radio at the end of the song is rather ser.

Agreed!!

What I find amazing about this album is that there are many small snippets in songs that seem to be sticking out in my mind that I normally have not noticed live and it has developed a new kind of respect for many of the songs. Having listened to it basically non-stop since I have gotten it, I still can\'t really decide which song is my favorite because there are sections and movements in each that make the song more dynamic that I originally thought.
-
i like this record a lot more than i thought i would after hearing the psygn edit and intension.
-
^^^what did you think it was gonna suck or something?
-
no but my expectations were exceeded.
-
At this point, can only narrow it down to: Honeybutter, Psygn, Late and the Great, Overexposure.
Like the "Queen moment" in Dimension 5, I hear a Chili Peppers vibe in snippets of Honeybutter and a trace of Weezer towards the end of Late and the Great.
-
can\'t wait to hear the finshed moxie epoxy...
-
Yes, Good Things is quite nice, great on the album and great live (in Colorado it sure was), but the honey butter, the change ups are nice. Still, voting for one is hard, this album is just that, not a series of pieced together songs. It is a huge and drastic shift from Real Radio, going back to raw, breakfast. I like all of it, it changed my mind about sureal radio, and now I love future peek. Then of course there is TLATG>OE. That staff is dynamite!
-
the jam in psygn is what makes peoples heads explode at shows.

I don\'t recall ever being owned by any Psygn jams, though I\'ve only heard the tune live a handful of times.
-
Freddie, you hit it on the head, I couldn\'t agree with you more. The jam in Psygn live is mind blowing! Can\'t wait to see \'em play it at Fonghoulish. Only two weeks away. See you there.
-
just voted for good things.... i love the album version, i like how tim doesnt go too nutz in the first little solo, then lets loose later on in the song
and all you haters of live good things can suck a crusty taint:bantnge:
-
I gave Gavin $20 in Chicago for a copy, but retarded me paid him AFTER the van was packed up....so that means I\'m stealing one from the table at the Freakout
-
i was between Psygn and OE through 5 to 6 listens. I have to go with Psygn, it just does it for me. Timmy extends ceilings in Indian heavens, piercing holes, at times, with spine-tingling harmonic notes that fall from another moon painted orange. that may sound a bit ridiculous yet it pinpoints my feelings hours ago listening to the epic Psygn -- staring at Mount Adams over a beer and a smoke.
This album makes me feel younger and excited.
Straight through this is a HUGE step up from the flacidness of Real Radio. They\'ve showcased their strength -- jamming -- toned up their potential in songwriting, and greatly improved their weakness -- vocals.
It\'s a little bit disheartening knowing that Jordan is done after his best studio work (whatever takes silver is diiiiistant from Moxie). But the show must go on, and it is, with relentless, unforced energy.
Psygn, Honey Butter, Good Things, The Late and the Great > Over Exposure are what music needs and now has.
*Blown away by Moxie Epoxy*
btw, (in the book) the chorus in Surreal Radio should read "You are listening to," not too, and the last verse is missing... :wtf2:

Now that I have my own Moxie Epoxy, I can finally vote. Hands down Over Exposure! I love this album from start to finish. I think it could have been longer though. They should have had eppie 3 on there, just like they should have played eppie 3 at the freakout. oh well, great job guys. Oh and Vic, it sounds fuckin great, so crisp.

Overexposure gets mine too

As a tribute to Butterfield Dorm, Honeybutter gets my vote.

As a tribute to Butterfield Dorm, Honeybutter gets my vote.
can\'t decide between the two....wanted to hit up the GTB show tonite but am feeling like shit from last night\'s insane events. Instead listened to Moxie all the way thru. I\'m gonna wait to cast my vote. As i remember, for the poll on RR I couldn\'t decide between TGSOT and Doughboy.....then ended up voting for gravity (which I still feel strongly about).
gonna have to give it a little bit to soak in. Its just that when you listen to the whole album, you end with OE and it just sticks with you cause it is such an amazing tune...
just checked the polls, and either way i vote would make it a tie btwn that track and future peak which is currently in the lead....to my astonishment
-
Mikey...glad you made it home safe and woke up alive!!! You were wAsTeD!!!! :lol:

i picked this disc up at the syracuse show and it hasnt left my car since. the whole album flows so well from front to back.
psygn is a great opener and will keep growing as a live song.
future peek is well written and i especially like the chorus \'learning the hard way...something we must go through\' cause everyone has been through tough times before and had to learn what its like to overcome those obsticles. i feel like tim\'s singing if strongest on this track. honey butter is a fun song that cant be fully appreciated in the studio. to see everyone jumping and dancing around during shows then singing along to the chorus is its true element. but the studio version was def done well.
i honestly didnt like good things the first couple times i heard it, prob because its a slower song. however i kept listening to it and its really grown on me. the grand piano def adds a great element in the studio. i hope they get a keyboardist next year so this song doesnt fade out of their rotation.
surreal radio is so catchy i almost voted for this track. im a fan of it and look forward to seeing it again in the future.
tricky ways seems to have an element of santana mixed with the allman brothers...or am i crazy? either way this one always gets me dancing.
intension showcases rons talents and he does not fail. however its hard to make out what he is saying some of the time.
l8 & the gr8 -> over exposure really sums up the album nicely. the solo tim lays down in over exposure rips and the outro music is really mellow and as it fades out it makes me feel like i just experienced something special. in all reality i prob have because this is one of the best albums to come out in many years. i havent been this excited about a new cd in a long time.
-
i love psygn
-
wow future peek takes the lead.
i\'ve been diggin surreal radio lately.
i\'d like to hear a tricky ways > evil ways > tricky ways sometime.
-
At first, I really enjoyed Good Things the most, but the more I listened to Overexposure it just took me places
-
nowadays intension is hands down the best song on the album
