[TINLTL606]

yay for old school :)

[mikepl92]

30 dislikes?! Shame. Boatloads of shame.

[tomata182]

what album is this from? What are your top 3 favorite Avett Bro albums?

[bziggy2889]

From the first Gleam, Emotionalism and Mignonette are both killer in my list.

Lyrically, though, EVERY song is fantastic

[801hardcore]

the story of my life. great song.

[budway1942]

shut up u yanks and listen to the music

[tawkinhedz]

i love this song but murder in the city is the song that did it for me. "Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name." Dank.

[Saygrace67]

So very honest and so very unique. I love this band.

[odisbynum]

incredible!

[taylera]

Any English Avett fans? I heard 'em on a random late night radio station & ever since they've been THE definitive band in my life...

[IDEASFROMELLIE]

@taylera I heard I and Love and You once on Absolute Radio, went out the next day and bought the CD, now they're my favourite band. That was about a year ago, seeing them for the first time in June. Incidentally, I'm from Surrey ^_^ <3

[UNTOLDGUITAR]

It's so honest and pure.  They might be a little out there, but it sure feels great to belt out the chorus!

:-)

Music moves everyone differently. I think the Avett's found a unique sound (and added beautiful, honest lyrics) that resonates with many people and makes these people feel alive and good in a way you don't get from any other medium. It's not going to effect everyone the same, but I personally have been moved by them more than I can relate in words... and it means the world to me to have found it. I hope you can find an artist who does the same for you.

^ this.

[volmom]

saw them at riverbend--chattanooga-i don't get them either--but different strokes

[clarkbuddy]

you know what really annoys me... how if a comment gets six thumbs downs it gets hidden... that really annoys me... i know you can still click to see it but idk... just because people dont agree with it doesnt make it an invalid opinion... i love the avetts but the guy below me doesnt.... doesnt mean that his comment is any worse than mine. ha sorry just my two cents

[Deadeye777]

right on. why down someone for not liking a band that's just ridiculous.

Can't wait to see the Avetts on the 11th!

[thmcarolina]

for some reason i have given these guys a try a couple of times but just cant feel it. Yes it is different and i like different but this is just boderline annoying.

[angischy]

To a big fan of the Avetts, so is your comment.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion and mine is that I disagree with yours. But it's one of those "if I have to explain it, you'll probably never understand"

Go to a live show, if you don't get it then, well...I'm sorry.

[thmcarolina]

Maybe you could help me out and explain it. I am not trying to be an ass, but i just dont see it and am open to hear what you have to say. I do agree with the fact that i probably need to see them live and will look around to see when they are in my area sometime soon.

[angischy]

Well, I can try!

TAB's music *affects* me. Great performers, contagious energy, harmony that hits a sweet spot. All good, but it goes deeper.

Their lyrics are full of emotion, honesty and MEANING, something so missing from modern music & dare I say life in general. They say what they mean & mean what they say. That's not *just* entertainment. It's more like going to church.

Not everyone values that or even wants that in their music, but when I find something so life affirming, I embrace it.

[angischy]

"When I Drink" is not their best song, but it still follows the equation. Take something real from life, write it and sing it.

I recommend you listen to "Murdered In The City"

If you don't get it then...well...I'm not sure you ever will. Thanks for asking though and being open to the idea that maybe you could understand...

[thmcarolina]

So it appears that they will be playing this weekend in columbia for the st pats festival. Looks like i get a chance to see them live afterall. I will give you my review on the show next week.

[FretBarve]

god damn this is great, but i need the album version.

[funnyface421]

that crowd needs to shut the F up! Appreciate the Avetts!

[willyd5115]

Yikes! Feedback city.

[LittleUrbanAchiever]

YESSSSS!!! Thank you.
