War on Drugs

why does it all sound like Mr. Mister

or Don Henley (or whatever slick 80s sound I'm thinking of)

Making Michelob Commercials to Make Music to Make Michelob Commercials To

lol

Album makes me feel like Im waiting for cold cuts at the supermarket deli

this is much more successful at the sound he's going for than the last few, there's real dynamics and drama instead of flattening any of that out into aimless ambience like he usually has been inclined to do.

I am hearing that this album is absolutely terrible and am afraid to listen to it

Nah, it's fine. More of the same, more or less.

I love @TheWarOnDrugs album and now I have so many more great songs for my War On Drugs + Dire Straits tribute act Narc Knopfler

Shut up Jason Isbell

so it doesn't sound like bryan adams? because that was perpetua's take. note the only WoD album I have and have listened to was Lost in a Dream.

it more or less sounds like that. I don't think you would confuse it for any other band.

yeah it's not a huge departure or anything, just the songwriting's a bit more focused at the expense of the ambient noodling

i like the album. the last bit from "Old Skin" to "Occasional Rain" is everything I wanted from this new one.

could also be in a subcategory of new music that will eventually be played in CVS

as usual with me & them... I like the live versions better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKJ5JyuP7WY

Robbie Bennett plays good piano & organ w Rosali (& "Crazy Horse," everybody agrees, actually David Nance Group): https://rosali.bandcamp.com/album/no-medium
