ive heard that this album is great other than some terrible arrangement some jerk did on it - can anyone verify this is true

yeah didn't dig the blenders' guest appearance but other than that it's solid

the only way to really get to the bottom of that is for you to buy 15 copies and listen to them simultaneously

new one sounds killer. i do a bad job at keeping up with the Goats (last one I heard was Get Lonely) but I am digging this!
― tylerw, Thursday, 31 March 2011 19:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I only really got into the Goats with Heretic Pride (I know, I know). I've followed closely ever since and gone back and fallen for The Sunset Tree and All Hail West Texas. Get Lonely, We Shall All Be Healed, and Tallahassee are all on my list to get soon.

Good idea!

yes, pls get all of the above. favorites are Tallahassee and Get Lonely

yeah before anything else, even the tape shit i had a while back, get lonely really grabbed my heart first

man I wanna get this but I want a physical copy, that I can hold, in my hands

Get Lonely is notorious difficult to get into though, and is really best approached from the vantage point of having broke up with someone and it hurts so bad that you want to die. Just saying - it's like when you're crying so long and hard and it's like these big heaving sobs and after a while you get a sore throat and swallowing your own spit becomes sort of a challenge. Have you cried like that recently? Because that's where you should be coming from for that record. Imo.

Or like, she enticed you to follow her to a new land, then left you as soon as you got there, and you're friendless and penniless in a strange place among people whose customs who don't know and you're searching wildly for someone or anything you can relate to. But you can't.

BOO: the videogame music gig I did yesterday ran super late by about an hour and I missed almost the entire show
YAY: I arrived in time for "No Children"

oooooh, what videogame?
― slight even by tweet standards (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 2 April 2011 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Stuff from Final Fantasy VII, Civilization IV, Myst and Metal Gear Solid 3. It was pretty bad-ass! (The orchestra also did stuff from Super Mario Brothers and Chrono Chross)
― whelping at his sandpapery best (DJP), Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I second this.apparently you will like it more if you give the life of the world in flux. i haven't tried.
― jacobfiala, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link
well that didn't work.i'm so embarrased.
― jacobfiala, Sunday, 3 April 2011 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Life of the World In Flux has Proverbs 6:27, which I like better than everything else on the actual album. He played it live at the Sixth & I Synogogue gig in DC (available on archive.org).

Also, the last one kinda made me want to write an album full of songs titled after SEC Forms that have special meaning to me:
1. "Form 4" - 4:07 2. "Form DEF 14A" - 3:13 3. "Form 10-K ex.21" - 3:10 4. "Form N-17f-2" - 3:03
etc. : )
― kkvgz, Sunday, 3 April 2011 09:50 (thirteen years ago) link
am still picking through this new album, sounds really lovely but i feel a little distant from the lyrics. otoh i loved the last album immediately and emotionally; genesis 30:3 has this delicate touch of the sacred in it that messes me up every time i hear it, and i was really happy when it got some votes as a single in 2009's pazz and jop.
i'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff live; "liza forever minnelli" was devastating live on the last tour.

Went into HMV to see if they had it this week and no. Will see if I can be bothered to go on amazon later. Fuck record shops not having new records, bastids deserve to go out of business.

"I have started a blog where I record one ukulele cover (+ guitar, production, drums, if i have time) (+ the help of the four music majors I live with when they want to) of a Mountain Goats song a day! The idea is that it will help me have some fun learning ukulele but also be a cool project with a long duration."
