Lemper version is so definitive I think of this one as a cover (an excellent one). It's interesting that Scott took out the "fa la la" sections, song feels quite different without them

lou barlow does not like sunn o)))
― Daniel, Esq 2, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 23:56 (nine years ago) link
i hope sunn o))) names their next album 'lou barlow' and it's just one chord played for sixty minutes with the lyric 'lou barlow' intoned at a glacial pace over the whole running time.

this is a good listen. certainly more listenable than Bisch Bosch and the Drift; it has a nice ominous cozy feel to it. Perfect for a dreadful autumn.

Oh, Lou. Scott has a whip man. From Bristol. Everyone knows that.

The other factual error in there is he gets the lyrics to his 'favorite scott walker song' wrong (the string tied to the underwear is plastic palace people not montague terrace)

― 龜✊ (wins), Thursday, 23 October 2014 12:24 (nine years ago) link
lou was saying plastic palace people is ~montague terrace era~ but sort of a strange way to tag a scott ~era~ and smacks of half-assed attempt to appear to have interest/investment

Not really heard this yet and while I don't find the music of SunnO))) particularly interesting, "this sounded like shit on my computer speakers" is such a dumb fucking criticism.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:33 (nine years ago) link
God that Lou Barlow piece is one of the least convincing arguments I've ever read. Scott has made a Christmas album - Bish Bosch.

Comparing Sunn O))) to a load of 80s proto-grunge and industrial is getting it wrong too.

hmmm... not sure if that video was interesting or kind of boring at 9.30mins. Not a patch on the Epizootics vid.

Am I wrong in hearing "They're taking her children away" from Lou Reed's "The Kids" echoed in "Herod 2014"'s "She's hidden her babies away"?

There's a bit during Bull (I think) that reminds me so much of Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by The Eurythmics it's unreal.
― Doran, Friday, 24 October 2014 13:10 (nine years ago) link
Similar to my initial reaction to the Bull teaser...
This sounds great so far. Makes me think know of early Spandau Ballet for some reason.― Scary Darey (dog latin), Friday, August 22, 2014 12:08 AM (2 months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

there's definitely a new romantic vibe to that track.
I've been playing this album a LOT this week. Sounds (feels, rather :-) even better in the car than on my stereo at home. It's a really fun album in that it's fun to sing along with Scott and fun to shred with the (lead) guitarists.
― willem, Friday, 24 October 2014 13:54 (nine years ago) link
One of the maddest experiences was when my friend and I were driving down a country road to Norfolk on a dark January night after Christmas listening to Epizootics, when a lorry overtook us at full speed. Something like a bag full of flour or some sort of dusty substance on the back of the truck burst and sent this blinding cloud flying all over the road. Definitely freaked me out. I'm surprised we didn't slow down or stop, but I think we were too scared.

It's great to see Mr. Lou Barlow didn't loose any of his pathetic 90s indy rock smugness.

I was finding this largely tedious until 'Bull' kicked in and now I love it.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 21:22 (nine years ago) link
it sounds totally challopsy to say this is more "pop" than anything either of them have done recently but... it's kinda true!
― I dunno. (amateurist), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 22:44 (nine years ago) link
Yep, its relatively easy to listen to. Didn't stop the odd looks from my girlfriend the first time I played it though.

So this made me look to see if the album charted in the UK - number 30 after the first week of release just behind Coldplay and Neil Diamond.
― kraudive, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 23:30 (nine years ago) link
I didn't know there was a Coldplay/Diamond collab!
― StanM, Thursday, 30 October 2014 03:39 (nine years ago) link
Much as I appreciate this new one, it's sent me back to listening to Bish Bosch (lol, as if I ever stopped) and I'm starting to think it's testament to how great that last album was that this new one is getting so much good attention. I really think stuff like Zercon and Epizootics are his absolute peak.
― Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 30 October 2014 09:35 (nine years ago) link
I often think that certain albums by some artists suffer/benefit from reputational hangover, records getting the praise that their immediate predecessors should have got.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 30 October 2014 11:35 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, this definitely happens. I know this is probably a challops, but I see Scott 3 as the weak link in the quadrilogy. Sometimes wonder if the lack of punchier, wittier songs in favour of sleepier, more ponderous efforts are responsible for Scott 4 selling so badly. Was it his perceived 'New Jersey' at the time?
