nvr liked how in those official lyrics it says "...i don't find it strange but I'm talking to you" instead of 'when'. like when he's talking to this one person, he doesn't mind the things that float in the back of my headspace. its so much better. so i think those lyrics are contestable

Noah when's the album drop? Also what was meeting the Grim Reaper like?

Post **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:40 pm

it took me some time to get into them too. sometimes i'd just be like, are they just being weird for the sake of being weird?

Post **Posted:** Thu Apr 17, 2014 2:28 pm

Man, it is honestly starting to piss me off when I read an interview with the band and the interviewer asks, "how high are you right now?" Like in this one:

http://www.mtvhive.com/2012/08/30/anima ... avey-tare/

Seriously? Just because you don't understand the band or their music, you have to jump to the conclusion that it's because they're high?

is guys eyes about stalking your ex girlfriend and jerking off to her in the bushes so that she knows how much you miss her? that's what I got from finally listening to the lyrics.

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 18, 2014 10:30 am

lol yeah I'm certain Noah was thinking about an ex when he wrote that

lol, seriously how did you come up with it being about stalking an ex?

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:07 pm

i hear those parts as well

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:54 pm

i really want to showw to my girl that i need her

i always thought it was about balancing life between jerking off and spending time with his lady. it's a tough thing to do.

looking up the lyrics to avey's background vocals ('If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you') i think this is more about Noah banging one out constantly but wanting to pay special attention to his girly girl but he can't cos his hand is better

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:36 am

I thought it was about him having unfaithful thoughts and urges but since he loves his girl, he doesn't act on them and just jerks off instead

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:23 pm

so avey is not on instagram anymore? http://instagram.com/legendofkage/

Post **Posted:** Sun Apr 20, 2014 4:32 pm

Does not seem like it. A valid explanation will be given I'm sure of the situation. Maybe he dropped his phone in his soup again ... ?

Post **Posted:** Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:06 pm

i guess he is just probably using the slasher flicks instagram now... http://instagram.com/avey_tare_slasher_flicks

Realized today that the honeycomb single definitely has two of their best songs in a long while. not that any of it has been bad (it hasnt), but honeycomb/gotham are amazing

Post **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2014 10:54 pm

^agreed

double agreed

honeycomb is on feels-era level, writing wise. those two songs are sure proof that they havent lost the magic

Post **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2014 12:18 am

ehhh, they don't do as much for me

Post **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:11 am

Agreed that Honeycomb/Gotham are great - definitely within the confines of conventional pop music (which some fans probably don't like) but the melodies and songwriting are great.

I will say though that I always thought the ending of Gotham was kinda lamebrain. Just this really hamfisted rhythm: DUN, DUN DUN-DUN-DUN ... DUN.

Post **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:30 am

^like the ending. it is weird, but i enjoy the kinda weirdness of it. its very song-y

Post **Posted:** Tue Apr 22, 2014 1:31 am

the backing vox/orchestral synths in the 2nd half of Gotham are amazing.

for their nxt album cycle, they should release more than just one non-lp single (not including the b-side). like 2-3 of them... or just release them all the time. non-lp singles are the best.... guess watercurses and people are kinda like that. And wwiws shoulda gotten its own single release maybe..

Why?

Post **Posted:** Wed Apr 23, 2014 2:17 am

I guess because it's a good/poppy enough song that it could have gotten them even more exposure?

and then maybe My Girls wouldn't be the only song a lot of people associate 2009 AC with, haha

Post **Posted:** Wed Apr 23, 2014 2:37 am

its way to trippy to please people who were obsessed with my girls

Post **Posted:** Wed Apr 23, 2014 2:45 am

no waaaay

maybe I'm nitpicking but compare the sound of the vocals, at least

Post **Posted:** Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:42 am

I don't want to say I called it, but I called it.

Yeah, idk abt when it came out, but I think if wwiws somehow got put on radio, ppl would rlly like it and it might even be popular. pretty dang poppy, and the cleanest vox they've ever done just about. Just imagine a radio edit to cut-off the amazing/essential 1st half. itd suck but that there is a dang good radio song. my girls should get put in top 40 circulation as well..
