[@ianandersen3230]

How is it possible that you can listen to an entire album month after month and instead of growing tired of it, you develop an insatiable appetite to continue listening? The more I listen, the more I discover in the music, the more beautiful it becomes. I'm so grateful that not only have I found The Dear Hunter, but I have the aptitude to appreciate it.

[@MarcosAntonio-dz3od]

you just described what I've been throught since I discovered them

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

I'm like that too. TBH I didn't like Act V as much as IV the first time I heard it but once I heard the opera in full, began to truly understand it, I wound up adoring this album... its such a perfect conclusion.

[@aznrisu]

I know right?

[@Jiggerjaw]

@@kayeplaguedoc9054 And yet, I can't put it above Act IV. It feels more polished, more complete, more decisively a well put-together album, but Act IV is just so special, it cannot be overshadowed.

[@agronoxdt]

I listened to this album every day for like 3 years and still even after fully digesting it, if I hear any soundbite from it I have to listen to it from start to finish again. It is a work of art. It cannot be part of some random playlist. I cannot thumbs up any song on any Dear Hunter album on any streaming music service, because I know I will have to stop the steam and play the album what ever song that is from. These albums do not contain one off songs, they are entire works of art.

[@karsaorlong5091]

Spotify suggested one song. I heard 30 seconds of it and went right to KZbin. Listened to every album and now I am buying every album. So stoked on this!

[@dereklewis4321]

Do you remeber what the first song recommended was? I discovered them when my bro gave me his old computer. This was back when only acts 1 n 2 where out. Cant believe how consistent they have been with the acts. Its hard to pin point a favorite.

[@Obake352]

My own intro to these albums was 'Writing on a Wall' by way of some lyric site that offered a built in media player to listen to the song while digging through the lyrics. Can't remember the site, but I do remember I was digging through some Coheed and Cambria lyrics. Suddenly, after the Coheed song ended, it put on 'Writing on a Wall' and seeing as I did a lot of choral music in my school years, I was immediately intrigued. To this day, years later, The Dear Hunter is probably the only artist I can listen to almost endlessly and never get tired of. Brilliant across the board!

[@ashleya8363]

The first song I heard was either the Tank ore Life and Death. They were on a Spotify playlist for a fanfiction I was reading back when I was in 8th grade, so in late 2013. Immediately after I listened to them, I found the rest of the album. Sadly though, I forgot about them until late 2017, when I was a senior. Since then, I've listened to them on a regular basis and almost went to their show in Austin this year.

[@oioi5149]

Is there anybody there? Was the first song I fell in love with atleast

[@jx3821]

I have been listening to these guys for years since act 1, I tell people about Casey all the time. Easily my favorite band. This is such a great followup to 4.

[@MolokoMinus]

This was the hardest TDH album for me to get into initially. I brushed it off as nothing more than the B-sides to Act IV. Every album prior, I was able to get into them immediately and they got better and better each time I listened. This one took about 3-4 listens before I was able to appreciate how amazing it is. Now I I consider it one of the best albums in the Act Saga.

[@joesfathead]

This one and III for me.

[@allangmiller]

This was my intro, and I loved it from the off. Think Light was the first song I heard, then Revival, and that was enough to have me ordering. IV and V (recorded pretty much together I believe) collectively a masterpiece.

[@dereklewis4321]

My personal favorite album of theirs. Everything they make is gold which is crazy. I dont know a band as consistent as them.

Just because someone wants a band to be more successful doesn't mean he hates his whole generation.... your acting like hes on of those people that says "oh i wish i was born in another generation" but since hes talking about prog rock and not old rock its different, vastly so. Because hes talking about a band that is legitimately unknown and yet still modern, hes more just wishing that more people could hear this music since i doubt anyone who heard this would hate it.

Meanwhile, my otherwise conservative and unaware uncle endlessly enjoyed Act IV for his birthday. We all know this should be way above any of that trash out there. Either they don't want to get noticed, or somebody else doesn't. And don't come at me with other music being easier to grasp. This is less complicated than some really overtly progressive songs out there that had more success. The public is simply being kept from real art, because that's not only hard to make, but addicting.

[@Jimmy9298]

I'm not sure if it's the same woman that does the vocals in Act I. But I believe I read that the voices of The Moon/Awake were done by both Casey's mother and wife. Which is such a nice touch because I've always felt this was Hunter basically admitting to the Fiance/Wife character that he can't really give her the love she wishes to have from him, on top of reminiscing about a lot of things, including his days in The Lake with his mother.

[@auggie4648]

Just a question: Is the Dear Hunter a Christian band? I've been a fan for a long time and I've noticed how much religious material has been added over time.

[@alistairdimmick2886]

Auggie I think religion has a big role in the dear hunter story. What is a search for true love also includes questions of faith and of truth, how we suffer through life, mistakes and regret, growth, and anger. Possibly the character (or band member) was raised into religion and was very bitter about it as we go through the story.

[@jerrythepotato1919]

Quite the opposite, actually. To my knowledge, Casey is agnostic, and whether or not he's had any personal experience with religion, it seems that any music he writes about it is to criticize it. I don't think he is a fan of organized religion, but the consideration of an afterlife is a common theme in his music I think (No God, A Beginning, Wait).

[@pharlim8696]

I remember Casey saying he was a Catholic to a Christian music website back when Act III was released. My guess is that he either changed and became agnostic or he keeps his beliefs to himself unless it is time to write lyrics. Either way, the story doesn't have anything religious in it other than The Pimp and The Priest despite the religious themes.

+Trico the pimp and the priest is the antagonist of the whole story..,

DID THE HEAVENS EVER SPIT OUT THE CRAP WHEN THE WINTER FOLDS?! (I don't know the exact lyrics)

[@dereklewis4321]

The Needless Gamer Why not take a moment to find the correct lyric instead of the footnote?

[@bryansmith5927]

Does this record give anyone else Silverchair "Diorama/Young Modern" Vibes at all???

[@pmtnoise5855]

Tuna In The Brine! yes, but i hear it more in Act IV. Casey is fan of that album (Diorama), he even work with the same orchestra

I want the tree as a tattoo

[@Beaver_Monday]

What do we call this genre?

[@patsweeney856]

progressive rock, art rock, indie rock.

[@Beaver_Monday]

Pat Sweeney thx pat

[@kieronbowker9983]

Prog Pop. Song based prog. Long form songs. Non formulaic music. Everything in all styles at once. Open your ears and your mind. Classical music performed by a rock band. Etc. if you like it it is the music with a magic that a name would stain. (Thanks PG)

[@StreetartUnitedStates]

YOU FUCKING ROCK!!! But how can I get my hands on acts I , II and III on CDs

[@jindo4849]

My friend just introduced me to this. Could someone list song names and times please?

[@DearHunterFan15]

Added it into the description. Enjoy! I hope the times are right. It took a little bit to set up.

[@jindo4849]

DearHunterFan15 thank you!

[@R1O21]

anyone have a download link? i don´t have money so i can´t buy any album

[@wolfiemuse]

Martha Alv. Download the BitLord client, a VPN, and search for “(album name) torrent” in google. You’re welcome.

[@Nekotaku01]

Did a female join The Dear Hunter? If so, i approve.

[@zawarudotokiwotomare9272]

It's his fiance helping with the vocals I believe

[@different2261]

Need this in more "Progressive Death Metal" :o

[@DannyStatuz]

Persefone might be for you, check out Spiritual Migration, solid LP.

[@michaelkolman8313]

All the ads kinda ruin the experience

[@BrokaCola]

I appreciate that you did this, but midrolls between each song? Kinda breaks the immersion man.

[@DearHunterFan15]

BrokaCola That would be the fault of Copyright holders not mine. Sorry.

[@BrokaCola]

@@DearHunterFan15 Ah I see, sorry bout that.

[@OffTheRailGaming]

This band kind of reminds me of Ghost, except a little bit more talented

[@TheAravindtop]

I liked Act 2 and 3 the most. Can't seem to like the rest.

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

They're all slightly different styles, so I can understand that. It took me a while to like Act IV after Act III.

[@geddoe316]

it's funny because i was critical of the band at first...i found it to be pretentious..and i had to listen to acts 2 and 3 a few times to really get the feel of it... same for 4 and 5 really. now personally, i still love 2 the best..and this one, act 5, is fine....but i get with the styling that it is tough to like it ALL, even if you love the band.

[@GR8APE69]

Act V is probably my favorite, but I'm sure that's because I just got into this band back in September, so Act V is the first album I listened to.

[@dereklewis4321]

Manny Been a fsn since 06. Act V is their best hands down. Next to Color spectrum, I like then act 1 alot. 2 3 and 4 are all on thr same level for me of good.

[@zekkoknight1917]

Bruh, upload a solo version of each song! Risk it

[@Jiggerjaw]

So we can all suffer insidious loading times during what should be fluid transitions?

[@zekkoknight1917]

Brenden Patch Well, looking it like that...

[@zekkoknight1917]

Brenden Patch But still, i dont like every time i want to hear a certain song: come here, check the time stamp and try to get it right... IN MOBILE ONLY. And in my country, the videos in the topic are blocked, sooo....

[@Jiggerjaw]

That's pretty lame. Lucky for me, I don't listen to songs.

[@DearHunterFan15]

Ordinarily, I would. But doing it this way is a lot more convenient for me to make as it doesn't require having to edit the image length throughout each video. It also make the transitions a bit better. (Even though there are some mistakes in the transitions in this video). It seems better for the video itself, too, so if it gets taken down or flagged, it's much easier to re-upload.

[@DickTrickleqt]

can't dig it

[@DearHunterFan15]

It's not for everyone :-)

[@cammy649]

Dick Trickle honestly their first 3 albums were better if I had to say. The "classics" I like to say and then 4-6 wpild. Be more of the "new age" stuff. Although this album took the styles from all acts mainly 1 and 4 I really have noticed which is really cool how they put a lot in. Nostalgia I'm act 1

[@johnnyboyk]

Out of possible interest I'm new to the band and listening to V for the first time with some focus. IV for me by far has been the best of the albums, I just keep on playing it over and over. I to III just hasn't captured my interest quite as much. But I will keep on listening to all the albums with intent.

[@johnnyboyk]

And I should add how grateful I am that the albums have been uploaded 😀
