eh i think that the fact that the distortion is like lossy low kbps instead of overdriven amps is kinda novel enough to be worth a mention.

I see no reason a band simulating what my laptop speakers sound like to be worthy of this much praise.

Just listening to the P4K best new track now, it is going to sound dated in about 6 months. That doesn't mean they won't make a fun summer album though.

Did this ever even leak? It's out tomorrow.
― ksh, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 02:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe not.
Twitter agrees: it's out tomorrow, and it hasn't leaked yet. Awesome.

i am looking forward to illegally downloading and listening to this album tomorrow morning

Oh man I just heard that youtube of "ring ring".. I don't get what all the fuss is about. What garbage.

If nothing else, pretty impressive that a heavily hyped band can avoid the leak this long. Is it only out digitally tomorrow? That may explain why.

No wonder it never leaked. If you scroll down on the main page of that Twitter account, it says it's out on iTunes tomorrow.

The 'Clean' version is on itunes for 6 bucks. but from what i can hear nothing is censored so maybe it was all clean anyway. good stuff thus far, although none of the new stuff beats the original six demos.

I like this game. Best New Music 8.5 -- I'll be damned if they rate it higher than The National, their fav. indie pet band of the last 3 years or so.

6.2. Album will grow monotonous to the reviewer because it offers nothing new besides a white girl rapping and a band back-story which nobody truly cares for.

The bells + putting two tracks of her vocals down on Rill Rill makes a sick song even better. This is amazing.

it feels strange to listen to their music not as five random mp3s

This blows away any "indie" release I've heard this year, for sure.

Song after "A/B Machines" brings to mind "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," if only because I don't listen to enough music--or am not aware of listening to enough music--using a flanger pedal.

Early contender for album of the year. If not that, will definitely be high up on my list.
