I was wrong about Romanticize the Dive
Just wasn’t feeling the new album much. Hearing Crush Forever and Loyal live certainly helped a bit.
Popped the cd in again today during a drive and it finally started to click. Moral Compass hit me hard. I don’t know why it took so long to grow on me.
Still consider RtD to be one of their weakest, but I no longer dislike it at all. There’s still no bad Metric albums. I also like that they didn’t try a typical ‘we’ve still got it/ we can still kick ass’ type cliche thing that a lot of aging bands try. Instead we got some honest songs about where they are in life right now.
My song ranking for RtD looks like this:
- Moral Compass
- Crush Forever
- Antigravity
- Time is a Bomb
- Wild Rut
- Trememelemelo
- Leave You on a High
- Clouds to Break
- Victim of Luck
Edit-no idea why my lost formatting is messed up. It’s right on my side.
