that second Twilight Sad LP's a bloody banger, eh?

2nd and 3rd albums are so unbelievably good. All their albums are good, but those two are by far the best.

Every time I listen to Forget The Night Ahead I always remember walking around listening to it around 1am in heavy snowfall around about the time it came out. I think that was the last time we saw proper heavy snow. Trudging through heavy snow, having to brush massive mounds of my shoulders and hat every so often. Watching people in cars all jammed and freaking out. Middle of the night in a built up area but eerily light because of all the snow reflecting every bit of light, and no background noise because the snow was absorbing it all. A great time.

NOCEK is amazing and if you don’t see that them I’m sorry.

This is a pretty good watch for hearing the new songs live if you wan’t to give them another chance:

Was at the Brudenell for the live debut of this and the crowd loved it instantly.

Me and the missus have watched that Quay Sessions idk 5 million times (probably more like 12 times) in the past year. So fucking good

Came to TTS pretty late, somewhere between the 4th and 5th album. Enough to be hyped by the release of the latest and loved the singles as they came out. Enjoyed the album when it came out but haven’t returned it loads. Think it had a January release so perhaps got buried by other albums coming out after? dunno.

Caught them supporting Mogwai on their last tour, which was brilliant. Songs like VTR & I/m not here really come into their own on a live setting.

Think i only really got into them due to No One Can Ever Know.

It came out when i just moved in with a pal but all ky CDs where still at my parent so would onlt listen to new ones id bought recently. Remembee listening to the first half of it pretty much every time I did the washing up.

Love of 1st and 2nd came later.

Dont really get on with 4th and 5th in the same way

The album James G did with Kathryn Joseph was great. I reckon there’s an album of fantastic mellow, folky stuff in TTS if they chose to go that way.

Love their voices together

I love all 5 albums like my own children, difficult to have a favourite, although some shine more on particular days.

I think `Forget The Night Ahead’ is a typical second child; tough to follow their debut, tough to forge a different sound, tough to write as many classic and timeless songs.

7 Years of Letters, The Room and Neighbours Can’t Breathe are enduring masterpieces and it would be nice to hear more from FTNA in the live set.

IWBLTATT did knock my socks off when it came out and still retains its power when I go back to it. Love their acoustic treatments so much too.

What a f@cking band!!

Been lucky enough to see them on the last two acoustic instore tours and yes they were amazing! Tiny room, stage inches away, no mic, just Andy and his guitar and James belting it out.

I think that’s the thing for me - his voice is so rich, it was totally b*ggered on the 3rd LP by the production.

Very much recommend this free album with the RSNO to anyone who doesn’t have it.
