Viva Las Vengeance is my soundtrack right now lol I play it every chance I get it's such a good album (from someone who still listens to Death of a Bachelor and A Fever etc. regularly too, aspiring singer and all)

I feel like they just don’t miss. They’ve never made a bad album. People really hated on VLV but critics loved it and I think it’s because critics know to rate the album on what it is and not what want or expect it to be. I think it’s great!

I do too as an avid consumer of music! I know where many of the riffs came from and can identify how much homage is being paid to classic rock n roll throughout the album while using the riffs (or being close enough,) the album itself is musically like a journey through rock history guided with love and admiration; and lyrically like a journey through all the depths one's feelings, mind, and body can go through when committing yourself to a person/thing and hitting a rough patch in that relationship (be it with your wife, your record company, a former band mate, etc). So many strong complicated emotions expressed in a love letter to rock and roll, I also think it's great!

its cheeriful, just some fresh air from the generic drum patterns from today's rap. felt the same thing with mr morale and big steppers, its hella different
