The first time I really heard Fontaines DC was live at Yours and Owls. I knew a few songs from their later album so I didn’t really know this album. Watching it live felt like a super moody and atmospheric Oasis. Each song just satisfied a specific part of my brain that I can’t really explain. There were a few standouts that I remember from the show such as I love You and Jackie Down the Line. I think these are still favourites of mine listening to the album now. I also really enjoy Roman Holiday and appreciate the more upbeat drums on some songs that are reminiscent of acts like Prodigy.

Definitely their best work people overlook the songwriting and sometimes focus on the vibe of the song, however all things aside Roman holiday and I love you are some of the greatest songs of all time
