Road apples

 

[NyQuil]

Right before they got rid of the sax player.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

They blew at high dough.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Fully Completely is the correct answer.

 

[Supermassive]

They peaked right in the middle of a music video. And you just knew right when that box went in the ground, containing that recipe for killer songs, that they condemned the rest of their career to mere legendary status.

Fully Completely is the correct answer.

Fully completely got them damn close to their peak, especially commercially, then Day for Night reached their artistic peak.

Great find! Someone burned a Hip disk for me years ago and one of the songs from this concert on it.

Ramblings of Rich kids is great.

Nice. I think they held their peak for the rest of that album then started a slow regression with the occasional close to peak song after that (Gift Shop, Ahead by a Century)

I think that Nautical Disaster was such a crescendo of emotion, hidden below understated lyrics, that everything after would really seem anticlimactic. Fantastic album, but that song hits so hard every time.

Funny enough, not a big fan of Nautical although I tend to be biased against songs that have the most commercial appeal. For me, any thoughts that they were coming down from their peak after Nautical would be quickly erased at the 3.01 minute mark of Thugs:

Fully completely, day for night and trouble at the henhouse for me I can't decide which one was best all 3 are amazing.
