it's the sound of a great band stretching allllll the way out
I think they can go even further and I hope they do cause this rules. "In the Water" might be my new favorite BN song

― k3vin k., Friday, 18 August 2017 20:09 (six years ago) link
u can buy it or torrent it. i'm not sure it's streaming anywhere.

i feel like some of these tracks belong in new twin peaks
things are extremely shitty rn and my lord i needed this record

Man, the run of Same Logic -> 137 -> Out of Mana is so great.
― devvvine, Saturday, 19 August 2017 00:26 (six years ago) link
this is on tidal and apple music (but not yet on spotify) for anyone holding out for streaming
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 August 2017 15:31 (six years ago) link
now on spotify also!

"same logic" has like.,.at least two choruses

i'm really enjoying this, the sustained eeriness feels very the moon & antarctica

That's a good comaprison actually - it even shares some of the same folksy DNA

lonesome/moon-era modest mouse i feel are models here down to the record's length and how it's probably a good record to drive at night to
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Sunday, 20 August 2017 01:50 (six years ago) link
I can attest to that it also sounds very, very good on long walks in the city.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 02:44 (six years ago) link
jesse was a big modest mouse fan back when i used to follow BN
― k3vin k., Sunday, 20 August 2017 03:22 (six years ago) link
some of the guitar parts on the devil & god felt very modest mouse but this album goes further in that direction
same logic/teeth through to in the water is a fantastic run of tracks
― ufo, Sunday, 20 August 2017 04:46 (six years ago) link
having a hard time deciding if maybe this is my fave BN album... this vs Devil and God is a classic higher highs vs. greater consistency battle
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 05:00 (six years ago) link
wait, which album matches which description for you?
― rip van wanko, Sunday, 20 August 2017 05:05 (six years ago) link
new new one is def more consistent
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 12:39 (six years ago) link
imo this is devil and god if every song were "you won't know"
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Sunday, 20 August 2017 13:52 (six years ago) link
The only thing that makes me sad about this album is that it doesn't seem like Jesse Lacey's head has become any easier a place to inhabit in the intervening years
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 15:28 (six years ago) link
my barber was very into the new album. he played a few songs -- very TDAG

"no control" is like brand new doing the pains of being pure at heart

but what if it is a second album (!!!)
― Mordy, Monday, 28 August 2017 23:53 (six years ago) link
apparently the countdown was a hoax
can anyone explain why wikipedia says "planned disbandment" and the RS review says it's their last album? i haven't been able to find any info on that
― just another (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 23:45 (six years ago) link
they released shirts last year that said "brand new 2000-2018"
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 23:55 (six years ago) link
ahh ok
― just another (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 20 September 2017 14:05 (six years ago) link
they're a cryptic band though and i don't really trust them to follow through on it
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 20 September 2017 15:49 (six years ago) link
i'm finding myself really moved by "in the water". this album is basically reminding me why i was obsessed with this band in high school
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 September 2017 03:31 (six years ago) link
and yeah, "batter up"....damn
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 September 2017 03:50 (six years ago) link
this album gets better and better with every listen. so many unexpected turns
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 26 September 2017 03:29 (six years ago) link
yeah loving it. still getting to know it.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 26 September 2017 04:06 (six years ago) link
That opening to "Waste" sounds so much like The Cranberries' "Zombie" it throws me off every time
― Evan R, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
ha!
this album is so richly varied. the flawless shoegaze of "no control"; "desert", which basically sounds like jesse doing a stephen malkmus song; and of course morrissey all over.
my current favorite moment is the bridge to "could never be heaven"
godddddd is dead
― k3vin k., Thursday, 28 September 2017 02:16 (six years ago) link
well said
I do love this album but it's so despairing I find myself having to limit my exposure to it somewhat

I'm going to have to edit the shit out of all these interludes tagged to the end of a lot of these songs. Wish most of them were their own songs.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Saturday, 30 September 2017 00:17 (six years ago) link
i love the unresolved punk song at the end of “no control”
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 30 September 2017 00:44 (six years ago) link
The guitar solo in "137" is the most glorious musical moment of 2017.

can you YSI if you do this? after listening to it for the 20th time theyre really starting to get on my nerves
― flopson, Friday, 6 October 2017 19:57 (six years ago) link
You can easily do this yourself with a lossless MP3 editor. The best one I know is MP3DirectCut (Windows only).
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 7 October 2017 06:05 (six years ago) link
ya i could do it on audacity right now tbh i'm just bizy and figured if someone else had already done it
― flopson, Saturday, 7 October 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link
the skits are rly cool and creepy the first 20 listens tho
