From the bottom of our hearts,
Thanks for being a fan of our one-day-a-year band :)

[nogov]

average first of october album:

- the most emotionally powerful folk song you'll hear in your life
- greg

[chandlermiller]

Bear bells carrying the emotional weight of the world in their adorable instrumental bodies

[MidnightLightMusic]

I love my favorite comedy chiptune/cinematic band.

Edit: Forgot Ska.

[forkstick]

it just gets better and better each year. 60 songs in six days!

[DavidParker]

It’s funny Andrew usually brings the most poignant song to 1st of October but Rob knocked it out of the park on “it’s time to move on” like out of context if I heard that song I’d be like “woah cool I need to look up this band” and then I’d be like infinite knives? Let’s fight? Greg?

[raymond]

One of my favorite things about this project is the dichotomy of we made a bunch of silly songs and then oh yeah here's something incredibly serious just in the middle to hit you in the feels.

[philbarbato]

Every year, *every fucking year, * you guys take me from doubled-over laughing to weeping uncontrollably. I love you. Never stop.

[ian]

its like a concept album about a guy who dies in game and has an existential crisis

[BackspinZX]

Easily my favorite FOO album so far.

Rob fucking *crushed it* this year, too! It's so good to see him back to being himself again, that makes me so happy

[agasthilad]

These are moments when I remember youtube music is still alive.

[andrewriordan]

even given how many beautiful moments have come from this project, “change what i can change and carry on” may just be one of the best 1st of october lyrics ever

[krustykrabpizzzza]

This album actually plays out like the experience of playing a video game with the song order:

Start!- You loaded up your console

Round 6- The theme song to the new game you’re excited about

Dungeon Man- The background music as you start exploring and playing this new game

Day Old Milk- You’re on some side quest for a villager in the early game

Final Boss- You’ve entered the boss fight, probably too early

Infinite Lives- The previous boss fight was too difficult due to your current progress, and you wish you had infinite lives

Same Old Game- You’re grinding up the levels, maybe meeting some other party members to help

I’m a Full Grown Man And I’m Wearing A Retainer- Another side quest, however while this one is short, for some reason has a very powerful item as a reward

Let’s Fight- You’re fighting your way up to the boss again

Infinite Knives- You’re back at the boss fight, but now you’re very powerful and more confident, and you defeat them

It’s Time To Move On- The bittersweet feeling after you’re fully beaten the game, and while you’ve had fun, it is now finished and you need to move on to another one

I don’t know if this is what they were going for but whether intentional or not they nailed it. Or I’m just putting too much thought into it. Love the album either way, and I’m glad Rob is doing better!

[daeniel]

round 6 explained in few words:
Games
Two of the most heart throbbing, beautiful songs ever created
Nu-metal
Greg

[jessethomas]

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is: more bear bells!

[yokayoksven]

I feel like it was unintentional, but Greg Milk is a character in a recent game UFO 50. It's a collection of 50 NES inspired games made by a fictional game company Ufosoft, and Greg Milk is a fictional game developer who put a meta game inside of the collection.

If it was a intentional reference - thumbs up
If it was unintentional - what a coincidence

[jakecarswell]

the vibes this time round are immaculate 🙌

[flexprog]

First of October captures that special feeling that you get the first time you create and you're so proud of the stupid little beautiful thing you made.
And thanks to you both, every year I remember that special feeling and I feel more and more motivated to live a life of creativity and enjoy every moment of it.
Thanks Andrew and Rob, this means the world to me.

[flexprog]

60 (61 ?) fucking songs ! In 6 days. And now they are so well made and detailed, you would never guess they were done this quickly.

[GregoryPagano]

As a Greg, I wholly appreciate the Greg content. This year’s is my favourite. Thanks for the theme songs 😅
