Just talks about how Stasik wrote IDKWIW with a JO on a setlist and he shot it down

Because they will never have that mainstream breakthrough hit playing jazzy funky…

You should probably listen to squeaky feet

Listen to 02-05 for that yazzy stuff

Really really like the instrumentation and soundscape of So Much but Small Strides is still my favorite out of all tracks released so far.

God that mandolin sounds so good on So Much though. Really happy with the way that one was recorded.

It’s a pleasant song

After listening to the Sweetwater shows and hearing talk of “a man down”, it was nice to hear Jake’s voice, tbh

None of the songs have been too disagreeable for me but they’ve also been boring and uninteresting. As of now I can’t say I’m planning to buy the album.

I can’t see an environment where they will ever play this song live on a consistent basis outside of acoustic sets. It’s a fine piece of moody atmosphere. Super weird single choice though.

The verses remind me of the Liquid chorus a bit

I agree that it seems like an odd song to fit in with their live product. But it also feels like a weird song to be done acoustically because of Jake’s solo.

So far it’s hard for me to envision almost every single they’ve released being able to fit in a regular set.

Small Strides seems like a perfect opener (either set). That song has potential to bring it.

I really don’t like when bands put out the whole record as singles. Might not listen to this one

Love hearing Jake actually singing instead of growling / yelling / screaming.

I do like this tune and I like the chorus though I do think it sounds like a mid-2010’s Steven Wilson B side.

Funny you say this because I’ve had this discussion with my “wife” before. She said she hates Jake vocals while I feel like he “can” actually be a better singer than BB. Played this song tonight and she said she liked it because Jake wasn’t screaming.

This is a well crafted song but ultimately forgettable.
