But this might still be a sign that The Avett Brothers still haven’t figured out how to write political songs. “There had been another shooting / and this time not too far away / and a child who lost his life / looked an awful lot like mine.” When Scott and Seth, both parents, look to their families for inspiration, they write with such palpable empathy. “Turning on my phone / was the first mistake I made / my heart sunk when I read the first headline,” Seth sings, sounding genuinely exhausted. The Avett Brothers mention gun violence again on “I Should’ve Spent The Day With My Family,” (after approaching it previously on “Bang Bang”) and here, too, the political message is stronger because Scott and Seth use personal anecdotes as opposed to expressing broad, non-specific dissatisfaction. “I Should’ve Spent the Day With My Family” ( The Third Gleam)

But we’d like to think it’s a loving ode to a resilient band, and, at the very least, an introduction to their warm musical stylings. Is it the 100% objectively correct ranking of every song by The Avett Brothers? Of course not. We also left off skits (like “Complainte d’VN Matelot Mourant”) and spoken-word interludes. Here, we’ve ranked (almost) their entire discography, excluding live versions of songs that exist elsewhere as studio versions (like those on Live Vol. Whether you’re an old-timer or have only recently discovered The Avett Brothers’ earnest brand of songwriting and charming blend of roots, rock, folk, country and pop, it’s a great time to be an Avett Brothers fan. As ever, they’re finding new ways to adapt. Tomorrow, however, they’ll play their first live show in nearly six months, a drive-in concert at Charlotte Motor Speedway in their native North Carolina (The show is sold-out, but fans can purchase livestream access here). A true touring band, The Avett Brothers were on the road almost constantly before the pandemic caused an indefinite hiatus of live music in America. So it feels like the perfect time to look back at The Avett Brothers’ discography. After several years of weaving pop production into their nu-folk sound, they’re going back to basics. The Third Gleam, as its name suggests, follows two other Gleams released in 20, respectively, and it finds them returning to a more stripped-down approach associated with their early days as a band: just Scott, Seth and Bob. The name “gleam” carries a lot of weight.


But this isn’t a typical standalone studio record. Today, they released their 10th studio album, The Third Gleam. Somehow, Scott and Seth are able to find fresh ways to write about whatever stage or obstacle they’re facing. Throughout nearly 20 years of making music as The Avett Brothers, Scott, Seth and their bandmates have indeed done their share of living: marriages, babies, divorces, illnesses, death and more babies. “It’s the best song because it’s taken the most sacrifice to make,” Scott says in the film. But we don’t actually see them do a full take in the booth until they gather to cut “ No Hard Feelings,” an emotional song (and probably the best on that album) about letting go of grudges, hatred, pain and “sadness” itself in service of peace. The documentary follows Scott and Seth Avett, as well as their bandmates Bob Crawford, Tania Elizabeth, Joe Kwon and others, throughout the recording process of their eighth studio album True Sadness.

There’s a scene in Judd Apatow’s intimate 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers where the brothers in question record an entire song in full.
