#also need to dissect them a bit before I go full lore dema etc but DAMN

[moonchild-in-blue]

what have been your favorite songs off of clancy so far??? i’ve been so amazed by that album and i wanna hear your thoughts!!

AAAA OKAY. I'm just gonna copy here my ranking from last night after the 1st album listen. Mind you, before yesterday I made a point not to listen to any of the re-release singles and avoided ALL video spoilers, so I went in completely blind .

^ i forgot about Navigating and i put it on the same tier as Midwest

(okay i rambled and this is all jumbled together so - more thoughts under)

I still need to listen to it a few more times today so I can properly rank them but yeah. Routine / Oldies are my top ones for sure, with Backslide / At the Risk / Snap Back falling riiight under. Those three kinda broke me ngl.

Lavish for sure will go up in the ranking because I love it so so much it's SO fun haha.

The Craving I prefer Jenna's version over the single - just different feels. The single version I'd place it with Next Semester.

But yeah, I was sobbing pathetically on Oldies Station, and again on At The Risk lmao. BACKSLIDE!!! BROKE MY HEART!!! NOT EVEN GONNA TALK ABOUT THE VIDEO OTHERWISE!!! WOOOOOOO

Emotional Damage x200

Me and my friend were talking about it, and we both agree that Clancy feels like an amalgamation of every previous album. There is something so heavy and personal about it, very reminiscent of Self Titled, that we haven't seen in a while (since Blurryface I'd say). Not that Trench wasn't personal, but it feels incredibly lore-heavy (aside from Smithereens and The Legend <- i can't listen to it now because yeah. Same thing for me).

Obviously you got Neon Gravestones and Redecorate on SAI (WHICH I LOVE, will take no slander), but yeah.

*Oh and Leave the City - same vibes as Paladin sort of.

Clancy is special. It feels much more intimate. Much more emotionally charged. Trench felt like an album for the fans; SAI is the fun experimental let's go team one. But Clancy 1000% feels like this is for him. Like a letter to past and future versions of Tyler - does this make sense?

Sorry I think I rambled a bit much lol - I might do a proper review or whatever once I gave the album a few more spins but yeah! Right off the bat I am in love with it, if feeling a little too called out by some songs 🥲✌️

But yeah. What about you???? What até your thoughts on the album??? What are you favs????
