We Have The Facts.. and The Photo Album impressions
Recently, I made a post here talking about how I enjoyed the debut, especially the song Fake Frowns. So I want to express my opinion on the second and third albums of DCFC.
I really liked the production in We Have The Facts. It doesn't feel too polished and still maintains that vibe from the first album (though I enjoyed the production there as well). I would say the overall quality and enjoyability of songs is here a bit better. However, I don’t really like 405 and Little Fury Bugs. They are a bit lackluster imo. The rest of the album is great though. Company Calls Epilogue is very beautiful, probably my favorite song on the We Have The Facts and competes with Fake Frowns for my favorite song of the band. Title track and Scientist Studies are very good as well. So yeah I really enjoyed this album, it is probably my favorite of theirs so far, just a bit above the debut.
The Photo Album is a bit worse imo. I still like most of the songs (with exceptions being Steadier Footing and Coney Island), but they feel a bit more generic here so overall quality is worse. My favorite from this album is perhaps Debate Exposes Doubt (We Laugh Indiors has very cool drums though). So far, probably my least favorite of the first three, but I still enjoy it more than most of the other albums which are new to me
What are your opinions on these? I would also like to ask how much the lyrics mean to you. Are they an essential part of the DCFC? English is not my native language, so it is a bit problematic for me to pay attention to lyrics (I still enjoyed some lyrics, for instance in Company Calls Epilogue). Thus I want to know whether I should bother myself with them a bit more or if I can just keep listening
Overall very good so far! I already listened to Transatlanticism and Give Up once, so in a few days, I will make a post with my opinions on these.
