publicfinally: i respect the guitarist's choice to not use trap rhythms/voicings on the solo, but i think it would still sound cool, and i want to try doing so myself

...
publicgreat guitar solo on this. in my head, the obvious solo would go for the same rhythmic patterns of the vocals. the guitarist doesn't do that here which is cool.

the solo also avoids going overboard with shredding, opening with some expressive bends before getting into some cool shredding.

the tone is also monstrously good, i get goosebumps when the solo starts


...
publicgreat combination of trap and metal, building off the blueprint of tracks like 
Fuck Around and Find Out (feat. $NOT).

the thumpy guitar riff is reminiscent of Tosin Abasi's style,

publicabsolutely killer bass solo (more like a bass break I guess) here

repeats the same motif but its totally locked in with the drums and feels incredible

publicIncredible call and response between the guitar and the horns here
...
publicIncredibly cool call and response between drums and guitar here. Drum plays two hits, guitar plays a fill. The last fill is this low bend that gives the impression of a motor stalling, fitting the song's theme of car racing

...
publicLove the horns here, they sound so triumphant
...
publicLove the electric guitar comping on this - complements the vocals very well. Busy, but not too busy.

The phrasing sounds very much like Carlos Santana - maybe 
Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas). Both songs also open with guitar solos.

publicI love the piano solo on this. It's pretty simple, starts mostly pentatonic but gets jazzier. Would be fun to transcribe

publicI love this song. Feels very danceable. I like the guitar fills as well, they’re very tasteful. sounds like a telecaster with a good amount of reverb on it

Like every other song on the album, the mix of instruments is just divine, everything blends together so well - guitar, horns, bass, drums, violin, piano…

publicSuper cool call and response motif here - 3 strums each time, followed by a different fast riff

...
publicI don't usually like screamo but this song is incredible
...
publicIncredibly cool call and response part here between the drums and guitar. There's a similar part near the start of the last song on an Unprocessed album

publicLovely chromatically descending luck here - accidentally reinvented this once on the guitar while exploring the chromatic scale

publicIncredible acoustic riff here, I have to learn this

...
publicReally long intro and buildup on this song! The guitars, bass and drums all layer up very well

...
publicI've listened to this song a lot while traveling, mostly because the lyrics are kind of about it.

Far Away is not super similar to this song musically, but it evokes the same feeling of wanting to explore somewhere new. I also listen to it a lot while travelling

publicMakes me think about movement. I listened to this song while biking over the Manhattan bridge last fall, and that memory has stuck with me. Something about the sustain of that main guitar riff makes me think of the freedom of a wide open space, and the sensation of moving very quickly through it - like biking around a big empty lot or running through a meadow
...
publicThe main guitar riff on this just sounds so large, with such great sustain. Makes me think of a firework streaking across the sky, with sparks lingering behind
...
publicI really love this song. I love the strange conversational rhythm of the lyrics, I love the little guitar riff at the start, I love the way it's mixed - it sounds like they have two guitars panned left and right, and a pedal steel guitar, and some very minimal drums.

Noticable lack of bass on this song!
...
publicLove the delay/reverb on the guitar strums as well - another waltzey song that does this is 
Slow Dance II

For some reason these heavy reverb/delayed strums work very well over songs in 3

publicLove the waltzey opening to this - nothing like yearning lovey lyrics over a waltz.

publicSwitches to 4/4 here

publicVery reverbed out sound on this song, and on this album in general - the only fully dry sounds might be on the intro track (
cigarettes), in the intro and the palm muted section

publicCool effect having this vocal fragment repeated in the background
...
publicOverlapping vocals panned between both sides to create a cool echo effect
