solace Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 The Gleam EP's are the Avett's best work bar none (especially the first one, all 5 of those songs are in my top 10 Avett Bros songs), then Mignonette for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borracho Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Low Anthem were great the other night in OKC... never heard them before, didn't know what to expect, but i'm a new fan now... interesting to see them switch off instruments about every song - very talented...

nodep5 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 The Gleam EP's are the Avett's best work bar none (especially the first one, all 5 of those songs are in my top 10 Avett Bros songs), then Mignonette for me. I too love the Gleam Ep's. I think those are intended to show the softer/acoustic side and not as much the rambunctious side, but they do the soft/acoustic thing really well. I'd agree that "Sanguine" "When I Drink" "If It Is The Beaches" "Murdered In The City" "St. Joseph" are top 10 Avett songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know I am in the minority but never have ranked "Murder in The City" or "When I Drink" as fav. Avett songs. I like both songs but compared to "Beaches" and "St. Joesph" they don't stack up. I like both Gleams but rock other Avett"s way more often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 "When I Drink" is one of those "damn, I wish I had written that" songs for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BreezyGrass Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Didn't know all about the other releases and figured they were "new"! Little did I know - should have done my homework! Hoping to find a good book and just picked up the Gleam's, A Carolina Jubilee, and Emotionalism. Gonna give 'em a listen in just a little bit! Looking forward to it!
