JohnnyoftheWell: Every Rolo Tomassi song ranked

JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	Okay let's go. LPs only, no interludes. got the whole thing written, will update it all immediately.
Pikazilla 02.01.22	If flood of light makes it in the top 20, I will report this list to the authorities
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	How is Flood of Light and not Contretemps the one you hate most on that alb your inconsistency is showing u simping Yndi Halda stooge
Pikazilla 02.01.22	I hate both those songs
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	but you took action against ONE
Pikazilla 02.01.22	But flood of light is def the worst on TWD
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	that is a silly take and i am laffing at it
Pikazilla 02.01.22	laff all you want I couldn't be more srs
MonumentsOfParalysis 02.01.22	Flood of Light is gorgeous, search within yourself Pika and you'll know it to be true
MonumentsOfParalysis 02.01.22	Also props to you Johnny for this effort!
Pikazilla 02.01.22	Okay, list got updated it seems REPORTED
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	okay we are done pikazilla is wrong this was very low effort lol np and can we talk about the new one now!!!
Pikazilla 02.01.22	But then the top 3 are correct unreported
MonumentsOfParalysis 02.01.22	They dropped balloons during Flood, sounds like peak happiness
Pikazilla 02.01.22	let's talk about how much cosmology t/t rules instead
Sinternet 02.01.22	flood of light is my fave and i would probably have party wounds top 5 for nostalgia reasons but other than that can't disagree with much of this, so hyped for the new one
Sinternet 02.01.22	also seeing them in a couple weeks and thinking cloaked will probably bang much more in that context, without the djunz it would be much higher. second half of the track is really beautiful
Tundra 02.01.22	Rolo shits on Dillinger/Converge it's p funny
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	without sounding anything alike, the cosmo t/t has some of that strawberry fields forever "what occurred to these people to make them write this this way" energy going on. huge love and ugggh fuck would love to catch them again for this :[ really hope they announce more home dates later in the year. lmk how it goes - you're probs right on cloaked, can defs see that hitting the spot early in the setlist. probs my main gripe from when i saw them was that they played funereal second, and no-one was warmed up enough for it. hope they rejig that part of their set
MonumentsOfParalysis 02.01.22	Dillinger and Converge don't sound much like Rolo other than their core roots, and I love all the bands
MonumentsOfParalysis 02.01.22	You've inspired me to do a discog run now m/
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	uh based but no ranking no discog run!!
SteakByrnes 02.01.22	Very rad stuff big johnald, I still need to listen to the rest of their early stuff
dedex 02.01.22	> this is the one moment on Cosmology-album where you double take and remember that heckin Diplo produced it bruh say what
Cormano 02.01.22	broke my heart with the placing of Stage Knives
Avagantamos 02.01.22	aftermath is so good. I need to finish up their discog
Gyromania 02.01.22	Never heard anything by these guys
DarkSideOfLucca 02.01.22	5 is 1 for me I preordered their new album months ago and didn't realize until today that it's getting released Friday already. Hurray for surprises.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.01.22	"broke my heart with the placing of Stage Knives" cormano i have been trying to break your heart for years :[ new people start with Grievances or tbh the new one will do just fine !
Pikazilla 02.01.22	My poms are pathologically afraid of balloons
Storm In A Teacup 02.01.22	Pika Pomassi
Storm In A Teacup 02.01.22	I'm pretty sure everyone is going to say the singles are the worst songs on the album. Anyway, Rituals and Light defo belong in the top 10. Good job JohnnyontheSput.
Mort. 02.01.22	these are good ratings. and yes illunis is one of the best on astraea
JohnnyoftheWell 02.02.22	thank you stormcup, and yeah - how Mutual Ruin wasn't a shoe-in as a single is beyond me, n g l mortmort what did i put too low here i have been thinking about this and am scared
Gyromania 02.02.22	Whoa funeral is crazy
Gyromania 02.02.22	Checked out aftermath too and it was kind of boring. Hmmm to listen to or not to
JohnnyoftheWell 02.02.22	Aftermath was defs big time boring for me the first few times, grew into it when I started vibing with their melodic stuff more widely. Hit up Opalescent for a better shot of that ig
Gyromania 02.02.22	Grievances is fucking awesome. Might do a discog run
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	Lol Kasia was me jam back in like 2009 or whenever the hell that album came out, didn’t really stand the test of time very well though.
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	Embers + Flood nicely placed here.
Casavir 02.03.22	Cosmology's their best. Glad to see the t/t up there at least, I totally figured you'd lowball that one too.
theBoneyKing 02.03.22	Holy shit, 1 is awesome. I guess I may have to check more of their stuff aside from Time Will Die…
BenThatsMyJamin 02.04.22	20 is 1 you heard it here first
JohnnyoftheWell 06.08.24	bump to remember what ended up as #1 (think I got this right hmm)
Havey 06.08.24	Combining Mathcore with Jazz and Electronica influences, plus the ability to write a really good, tight song, this bandcontinue toreach newlofty heights in the industry.

JohnnyoftheWell 06.08.24	yesyes is eva spence still cited as the second coming of elizabeth fraser on wikipedia
Havey 06.08.24	maybe if Iai writes for wikipedia
JohnnyoftheWell 06.08.24	guy is gonna push those Rolling Stone references to the ends of the earth
Mort. 06.08.24	good bump. was one of my favourite bands once upon a time, still have a rolo tomassi sweatshirt that is shrunken beyond belief somewhere. really nice band. when they only had their first 3 cds out i ordered them off of their personal website and they never turned up. i emailed the guitarist about them and he sent me a new batch free of charge. was a very nice interaction. still havent heard their most recent due to my love for metalcore waxing and waning and only really making time for my all time favs. need to relisten to Grievances, absolutely thought it was a dud when it came out, something about the production (drums specifically) bothered me also discog ranking with none of the early/ eternal youth comp stuff? shame on you
Mort. 06.08.24	also Eva got married to the frontman of The Number 12 Looks Like You? jokes. i remember when she was dating one of the guys from Architects but i might have made that up
Demon of the Fall 06.08.24	Hmm, need to revisit / reassess as I reckon they may have aged well for me. I followed them throughout the years and had a weird up-and-down relationship with their music. I saw them live around the Cosmology era and they ripped. Their latest ended up being my fave, but that’s to a much older Demon.
