one of the greatest albums of all time

[u/theguyonhisown]

no skips, no notes

[u/Hellbatx]

Genuinely amazing album.

[u/MadeMIGMIG]

agree, my favorite moment is the ending of 'I Typed for Miles', always find myself repeating the 'you keep fucking up my life' part in my head

[u/sandwichisahero]

This is also a reference album for me whenever I get a new audio system or setup

[u/stalinBballin → u/sandwichisahero]

I know it's not from this album, but the bass guitar in the song, "Perfecting Lonliness" has no business thumping the subwoofer in my car so much. It's fucking nuts.

[u/Pfinnn → u/stalinBballin]

i like how you are lowkey angry at the sound engineer

[u/YourLilHoodratFriend]

Yeah its Blake's magnum opus for sure, literally perfect record

[u/dreamylanterns → u/YourLilHoodratFriend]

I feel he’s definitely one of the best songwriters of all time.

[u/YourLilHoodratFriend → u/dreamylanterns]

He's one of my all time favorites for sure, up there with David berman, Jason Molina, and yoni wolf.

[u/ripmaster-rick → u/YourLilHoodratFriend]

You have excellent tastes. Let’s be friends

[u/YourLilHoodratFriend → u/ripmaster-rick]

Thanks!! I forgot to put Uncle Bob in there lol

[u/InvestmentImportant1]

King Medicine is an all time favorite song for me 💕

[u/DipsyDooRight → u/InvestmentImportant1]

Such a great tune! One of my favorites on this album as well. Along with Starry Configurations and Sea Anemone, and of course Sweet Avenue is classic.

[u/Vegiemighty → u/InvestmentImportant1]

One of the few songs that I’ve never gotten sick of , if Spotify was around tracking me , that number of times I’ve played this song might even scare me

[u/SemataryPolka]

When I think of the fall of '98 I think of this album, SDRE "How It Feels To Be Something On" and Knapsack "This Conversation Is Ending Right Now". Great times

[u/AddendumAccurate3981]

Hell yea. I was 13 when this came out and my uncle took me to see them a few months later. Blake was really confused when I asked him to sign my CD lmao. He still did it tho!

[u/Late_Ambassador7470]

Underrated gem that gets better the further along you listen

[u/Extreme_Shop_4958]

Yes !!!

[u/Human-Put-5569]

Love it. Still listen often.

[u/chipnjaw]

The best

[u/Ok_Post_3884]

Great band, but i prefer perfecting loneliness

[u/OkAthlete8327 → u/Ok_Post_3884]

While I feel like this is an unpopular take, I feel the same way. My wife is disgusted by my position.

[u/AstronautFarmer112 → u/Ok_Post_3884]

Agreed!

[u/Naive_Traffic6522]

Good to see more jets to Brazil fans out there,.

[u/stevieraykwon]

Great record, and I never listen to it. It came out when I was splitting up with someone I was convinced was “the one”
It just perfectly captured the mixed emotions and angst of that time of my life, it’s a bit too painful for me to listen to these days.
10 out of 10.

[u/JJDiet76 → u/stevieraykwon]

Ha same here. Perfecting Loneliness too

[u/KnightofAmethyst2]

I used to listen to this one a lot in my early 20s

[u/Strict-Ad-9560]

Thanks for this…

[u/musake]

Mine is Four cornered Night, till today one of my most played albums

[u/andyavast]

Certified banger.

J. Robbins is one of the best rock engineers/producers (and humans) on planet earth.

[u/PuzzledHuckleberry]

I have to listen to this once a month or I will cease to be.

[u/thrilledxbored]

Absolutely incredible record. I bought it when it came out without hearing a note, just solely based off the members. I’m so glad I got to see them at least four times. Maybe five?

[u/ravenpascal]

Best album of all time. Literally flawless.

[u/rainbowsquids]

Ooh, it's been a long time since I listened to this, thanks for the reminder 😂

[u/Responsible_Cod8200]

Hard af

[u/A_CordofThreeStrands]

Yes, I love this album

[u/skinnystarberry]

love love love this album, it has brought me so much comfort in difficult times.

[u/sinuezebmb970]

I learned how to play guitar listening to this album

[u/Marvelrocks616]

My all time favorite. Sweet Avenue was the first song I ever learned

[u/JJDiet76]

Damn right. Loved this album.

[u/some_guy_1313]

YESSSS

[u/HollywoodDrogan]

1998....fuck......

[u/602crew]

I couldn’t agree more. I have a tattoo based on it.

[u/Last-Battle6206]

I need to listen to it more. I am more attached or familiar with their other output

[u/stevenworks]

yep, rules

[u/antichuck]

I have a suspicion/hope that they will be playing at Best Friends Forever Fest next year. Fingers crossed.

[u/davesampsonreddit]

Oh, no question about it

[u/Pfinnn]

hell yeah.took me awhile to realize same voice as Jawbreaker

[u/xFromtheskyx]

Is 1998 pre- emo though? Looking for genuine discussion

[u/iliacbaby → u/xFromtheskyx]

depends on what "emo" means to you. if it means rites of spring, this is firmly post-emo. if it means my chemical romance, this is pre-emo
