I wouldn't be surprised if some songs had long outros full of instruments or very delicate sounds, Jack loves doing that. That would be a way to replace bridges

Rick was talking about bridges being their thing while the industry doesn't care about them anymore and it shows

But I'm not mad the songs are AMAZING regardless

 

Quote from THIS interview:

"After that, we solidify the verse and chorus. We usually write the middle eight from scratch—that’s the section that comes after the second chorus. It is a construct of classic songwriting sometimes called the bridge. You don’t see a lot of middle eights in songs anymore. I love that we write them because I think they make the songs more timeless and satisfying."

NFR, Love song, and Cinnamon (Next Best American Record is definitely honorable mention)

[picturebook 899]

Has HTD leaked?

[Zetterberg 1,862]

Should had ordered the cassette instead 

[The Greatest 8,803]

The Greatest, Cinnamon, California is the holy trinity with bartender as honorable mention

 

but honestly they're basically all flawless. The only one I don't really care about is HTD and I haven't even heard it 

[riina 1,015]

holy trinity so far from nfr: The Greatest, California, Venice Bitch.

 

Haven't heard iyc but i bet it will be beautiful
