just some quick, random thoughts.

Even though they have now disbanded, and it breaks my heart everytime I think about this, they still created a lasting impact on both fans and the music industry. Their music and attitude are both controversial and enjoyable. There aren't many bands who go about their careers in the correct manner, but Envy on the Coast were one of the few who did, and they forever have changed my life.

There is no music like Envy on the Coast's (compare them to what you will; I still stand by my say) and every time I listen to this album, it's refreshing, it's powerful; it's everything I want in a band plus more. The lyrics are beyond well written, the vocals are absolutely amazing, and overall, the musicianship is tight. This album is beyond well put together.

Envy on the Coast never gets the credit they deserve (hence them breaking up) but in order to full appreciate their style of music and attitude, they require you to sit down and really take a good listen, and once you do, your mind will be blown away. Not only were they incredible musicians, they were all around amazing people, as well.

Hey, I'll be honest, I don't care what anyone else says, Never Shout Never is a great musician who still writes 100% of his music, and he deserves all of his success, even if he is a whiny little bitch. I don't mind listening to something bright and positive every once in awhile.

I say fuck meet and greets because they aren't personal and they make the band seem like a product, but I truly appreciate that the Maine made an effort to please every single one of their fans on their headlining tour this year.
