After Franz left in 2010, the band felt the departure in a big way. But thanks to a key anniversary years later, The Hold Steady was able to come back stronger than ever. +
We're taking a quick break from the story of The Hold Steady for a moment, so we can chat with music critic Annie Zaleski about "Stay Positive" as an album.
"In rock and roll, your success sort of dooms you." The Hold Steady's ascendancy affected the band in many ways, some of which weren't positive.
As a band, more success usually means more touring, more promotion, and more questions. Those things usually affect you. It was no different for The Hold Steady, and you can hear it all over "Stay Positive."
Indie rockers The Hold Steady were riding high after the success of 2006's "Boys And Girls In America." They followed it up in 2008 with "Stay Positive," which catapulted them to a new level.

Reviews
- Nice insight
Wonderful insight into the making of and period of Stay Positive. Great interviews by the band. May want to skip the review episode however, it doesn't really add substance. Beyond that, I think the take of 'Slapped Actress's is a bit short sighted, and misses the overall metaphor of the song. To think that Craig Finn wrote it in anyway that condones violence to women really fails to disect the actual meaning of the song.

Many years ago, early on a spring morning, I listened to Separation Sunday, and it brought me to tears. I knew then that this would be my favorite band of my life. more
Apple Podcasts5Sook81United States5 years ago - A must listen!
Required listening for every fan of The Hold Steady. I love when a band is willing to share their behind the scenes stories, even when the stories aren’t always positive.
Apple Podcasts5Fuzzhole1124United States5 years ago - Highly recommended!
This opens up a window into the last great re it’s from The Hold Steady. It’s clearly done by fans, but it’s not afraid to delve into the difficult questions about why this was the last great record (so far). It’s nice to see a band be willing to participate in something like this. It’s essential listening for those of us who follow the band.
