ABSOLUTExclusive: Straylight Run

[Garett Press]

We've just posted a 3 song ABSOLUTExclusive sampler on Straylight Run (http://www.absolutepunk.net/straylightrun)'s AP Profile (http://www.absolutepunk.net/straylightrun). Head there for a satisfying preview of the band's major label debut, The Needles, The Space, to be released on June 19th.

I wish i still liked this band. Maybe i'll give it a listen.

I like what I hear.

[dukeboy1986]

I like these songs a lot so I think I'll have to pick this album up.

this will for sure be a record that slips through the radar.

its amazing how much different this record is from their first.

Now I guess the total is about 6 songs that I have heard from this record... so far I'm really not liking it. Besides 'buttoned' down every song seems to be lacking the conviction and heart the songs from their debut and EP had. I don't get the sense of vocally or musically that the band is putting all their heart behind it(probably a really unfair assesment). Production wise, the songs seem poor as well not one instrument jumps out at me, it has a dull feeling overall. This could simply just be me not liking their progression which is fine, I still have tremendous respect for the band and still am a fan, and remember this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree just don't chastise me.

I love "Soon We Will Be Living In The Future."

[NFG4ever]

not really a big fan.

[PunkDrums182]

I'm not liking these songs too much.

[TJ Wells]

After listening about five times to these songs, they are so much better than the self-titled it's not even funny. I really hope this record gets a good response, because it is great (so far).

i am kind of digging it. i think it will grow on me. their last album has.

[evilandgood]

i am hella digging it. John Nolan never disappoints.

[chumpradio]

Will's drum work in How Do I Fix My Head sounds so great. Can't wait for this album.

[ceelove]

I actually like what I've heard so far, which as only been these three songs.

[Praetor]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss, you have no idea how happy this has made me.

I love you, Mr. Press. A lot.

Definitely a lot different from their S/T, which I adored, but this is still great. I hope people give this album a chance, and don't just pass it off because it's not old Straylight.

You can hear "The Miracle That Never Came" here (http://www.myspace.com/straylightrun), and "Buttoned Down" here (http://www.straylightrun.com/).

I love "Soon We Will Be Living In The Future."

Yea, that's the only one i'm really liking so far. I used to love them, i don't know what happened:-(

[Loch_Doun]

mark my words; this could be the biggest disappointment of the year. (not Mae)
also Motion City Soundtrack is in contention for that title...

[bitchtits]

I still can't believe this hasn't leaked...

[jnkbondtrader]

buttoned down is still my favorite... i dont know nothing really stands out on these tracks, maybe its just the production? it seems very weak to me.
