I’m 82 and just love this music. Extraordinary riffs. Best group around at the moment.

[@anthonybarra9579]

👍

[@gabrieltorres689]

This is peak "Occassional Rain"... it literally stop me from doing anything else but listening

[@jessevanderwal2816]

When you're working at home... You put the volume a bit louder when the 3rd song 'Old Skin' takes of... Next thing you know, you're airguitaring with your eyes closed, moving your head on the rythm of the song, singing the lyrics together with mr. Granduciel. One of those blissful moments you experience every now and then, just by yourself. Thank you, gentlemen.

[@davidriley3422]

Just amazing. That piano outro on change gets me every time.

[@edgarchavez9637]

Actually, both Neumann mics sound great, but the U47 OMG. What a sound. Impeccable and super warm. These guys mix the very best of songwriting, harmony, melody, execution, production, and sound engineering, that's why they are top-notch.

[@frankdella887]

No tattoos no piercings no bullshit just a brilliant band of musicians playing intelligent music. I’m 72 and I’ve lost touch with “pop” music for the last 20 years this band has brought me back.

[@whatsupstevessleeves]

We can look past the long hair and side burns every now and then!

[@MGKD]

Incredible talent, best band right now, hands down 👍🙏👏

Acabo de conocer está banda justo en un momento en que uno cree que la música de calidad ha muerto y que sólo sobrevive en los vestigios de bandas clásicas de Rock y Metal con todas sus gamas y aleaciones. The War on Drugs es una bocanada de aire después de sumergirse en el fango de la cotidianidad de propuestas sin alma y sentido como el reguetón, el hip hop o los corridos tumbados que los jóvenes actualmente idolatran. Tengo 47 años y vivo en México. Larga vida a The War on Drugs. Músicos de calidad verdaderamente talentosos.

[@Sad_Bastard_Noodles]

So unbelievably good. Oh man...

[@countrypeaboy]

These guys are such a great unit. How the melodies and harmonies flow and weave together to create a tapestry of delight. Each time I listen I find something new to love. Tremendous EH?

[@monkeymonkerson]

These guys have the best musical breaks....I swear!

[@evertkarregat5101]

14:30 this is the best moment of old skin. You can feel that the drop is coming.

[@margaretstoner4701]

Personally, you all are BRILLIANT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤

[@neilturner2109]

Love this track particularly the back end with the piano and drums working so well together- just superb as it fades away

[@ryannedoma6328]

This song is about as perfect a song anyone could ask for. An absolute masterpiece.

[@faristafari]

Great band! I think they have the capability to prolong and expand their solos in their songs just as the good old rock days. Then will talk for top level

[@aaronprice8474]

I love all these high quality live sessions we get these days. I hope there is a version of this album with the sax up-mixed some day :) I can see my man on the sax jammin but I can't hear him too well here or on the record

[@lathanwells9136]

It's only an occasional rain is about the best mantra in our times you can adopt

[@user-to6kn6eg3e]

Incerdible band incredible song

[@leogomez4529]

Love all tracks, but there’s something about “changes” is currently on 🔁- such a great song 🎵

[@riaengels1879]

[@frankdella887]

At last, a group of musicians that play intelligent rock music and not the shit that passes as pop music theses days.

[@stephenodell7253]
