This year has been every bit as good as 2019, IMO. Just wish i would have cared more then.

Idk that I agree. Maybe similar highs, but 2019 was more consistent imo

I would argue Summer Camp as the turning point

I posted this in Winter Tour thread, but 2019 highlights pound for pound easily clear 2023:

Was going to say that January 2023 might rival January 2019 for hottest UM start in recent years but after going through the short list of 2019 jams without listening, still think 2019 takes the cake pretty easily:

January 2019:

  • 1/11 Mantis (Richmond)
  • 1/12 OB (Richmond)
  • 1/16 August (Jam Cruise)
  • 1/18 Attachments (Cincinnati)
  • 1/19 Draco (Cincinnati)
  • 1/25 Kitchen (Milwaukee)
  • 1/25 HBB (Milwaukee)
  • 1/26 U Fir (Milwaukee)
  • 1/31 Robot World (New Haven)

Could DC Milk, Philly Silent Type, Cap Escape Goat, Cleveland U Fir + Wappy rival these? I think with the Richmond and Riverside runs of '19, thereā€™s more to dig into. Interesting tho

Also the boys were buzzing at Dillon

100%

2019 was way better imo. Thereā€™s only been a few great jams this year and only 1 great show.

My top 10 so far. Not in order

01/12 - GYM (RH)
01/14 - The Silent Type
01/27 - Mantis
01/29 - Utopian Fir
01/29 - Wappy Sprayberry
02/04 - Draconian (growing on me)
02/23 - BLBC
02/24 - All In Time
03/02 - Spires
03/03 - WTWIRD

02/25 - Mantis could edge out Draconian maybe. 02/23- Attachments, too

If we were still doing UMGoldā€™s w/ @Puddy, Mantis would be MVP through the first quarter of the year.

1/29 Wappy goes hard in the paint bros. Around the 9 min mark. The jam flies into orbit
