gonna wait until it goes on sale but \(^o^)/ \(^o^)/ \(^o^)/ @ the positive reviews itt
― markers, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think there are any reviews yet, other than on message boards.

where we've concluded it's the album of the year.
so now you don't even need to hear it, really.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link
haaaaa
― markers, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm gonna go ahead and initiate the backlash in response to the msgboard hype. If we can go ahead and have this back-and-forth and get things settled before it's actually released, that would be just great, super
― Z S, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link
wait, the whole album leaked?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
just two-thirds
― markers, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Nah, the whole thing. It rules.
― SourPatchCorpse, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
good idea. you start the backlash and, by the time the album comes out, we'll be ready for the counter-backlash. voila: album of the year.

More like two turdz, man why does everyone always talk about this band everywhere I go on earth on indie music blogs I'm so sick of hearing it

i'm sick of this new album, anyway.
i hear "cee-lo green (the soul machine)" has a new song that's a surefire hit. i'll listen to that instead.
can't believe I have to wait thirteen days to hear this
― markers, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
you have Olof Arnals' new disc to tide you over.

Listened to it again. It's immediately captivating AND a grower. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
― SourPatchCorpse, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 22:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Let me just go ahead and say that if pitchfork hates this, then I like it, and if they like it I hate it, and either way it's lame that anyone cares what pitchfork thinks
― Z S, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link
p4k loves it. i hear it's going to get a 10.0.

Z S, are those the eyes of a positive or negative reaction?
― SourPatchCorpse, Thursday, 16 September 2010 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
for the first song, extreme positive reaction. I just finished the album, and overall I enjoyed it more on first listen than Microcastle (which I ended up loving after a several plays - it usually takes me a few). I had already heard Helicoptor and Revival, which would have been two standouts, so the reaction was a little more muted than it would have been otherwise.
But man, that first song ("Earthquake") is outstanding!! I can't even really wager a guess on whether or not it would appeal to fans of deerhunter/atlas sound's older stuff, but it tickles my fancy in all the right spots, kinda reminds me of MBV in a way that isn't overly derivative, just awesome.
― Z S, Thursday, 16 September 2010 00:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, Earthquake is not only a great tune, but an excellent opening to the record.
― SourPatchCorpse, Thursday, 16 September 2010 00:33 (fourteen years ago) link
"desire lines" is a perfect encapsulation of what deerhunter does well. the break at the 3 minute mark and those lyrical guitar lines that elevate ever so smoothly...
― oscar, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:34 (fourteen years ago) link
is that Lockett singing on "Desire Lines"?
― Z S, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Really loved his solo album (as Lotus Plaza), and his turns at the mic for Deerhunter (Agoraphobia, Dot Gain is his song, etc)
― Z S, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:40 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i fuckin love "agoraphobia" and tbh i didn't know it was lockett singing it until someone pointed it out to me
― k3vin k., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:45 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah agora and dotgain are faves of mine. i think i may just dig dudes voice/sensibility
― oscar, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i was really surprised when i read that lockett was behind 'agoraphobia'
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
if he records another lotus plaza and tightens things up a little bit (I love it but it makes you drunk to listen to it, everything is so fucking fuzzy) I predict a minor classic. dude's got skillz
― Z S, Thursday, 16 September 2010 02:48 (fourteen years ago) link
("it" = his first album as lotus plaza)
(u find this jordy?)
― k3vin k., Thursday, 16 September 2010 03:00 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, thx
