yeah, i agree. just sounds like a mass of rough sketches

i really like the instrumentals but i don't like the lower, throaty vocals

album is totally a grower. becomes compulsive stuff. another minor winner, i'd say!
― mr.raffles, Monday, 19 August 2013 04:00 (eleven years ago) link
the single is def a grower. i dug a few of the album tracks right away.

"lock box" is dope.

Got my clear vinyl in the mail yesterday. On first listen, this definitely trumps Everything in Between. Maybe not quite up to the standard of Nouns. I am rooting for 'em.

i like this so far but it does sound like the album a band releases right before it breaks up
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 20 August 2013 15:14 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it does sounds like Let It Be

For serious though... I LOVE this record (and their others), but they really don't go anywhere new ever. They gotta get sick of that eventually (maybe).
For now, I'll just keep enjoying all the new songs.
Looks like the shows are still hot too:

― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:38 (eleven years ago) link
they did go somewhere new in this record. and failed imo.
― nostormo, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah. i'd respectfully disagree with that. maybe superficially slightly diff at times (we used contact mics... not drums!), but very much cut from the same cloth.
― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
the energy is gone, and i think that was at least half of what made them good.
― nostormo, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:46 (eleven years ago) link
I can see somebody finding that an issue, but they've been playing the fuzzy melancholy hand (via 80s indie heroes) pretty hard for awhile now.
― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i know, their "quite" record were never my cup of tea..
― nostormo, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
Seems like people stopped talking about the new album the second it came out! Anyway, I wrote a bunch of words on it (and even more about the Urinals) here:

i love no age. the new album isn't as good as the others but i still like it

they haven't broken up, have they?

i forgot about no age! i probably need to give their most recent one more chances, but i really didn't like it compared to all of their other stuff for some reason
― 1994 ball boy (Karl Malone), Thursday, 20 August 2015 20:57 (nine years ago) link
me too! i don't even remember listening to "an object" even though i probably did.
― marcos, Thursday, 20 August 2015 20:59 (nine years ago) link
it kind of worked better live, but I haven't returned to it much at all.
― campreverb, Thursday, 20 August 2015 21:00 (nine years ago) link
i only listened to them from nouns and after, due to being moderately less cool than ppl who are way cool
weirdo rippers is nice to go back and get comfy with
― j., Thursday, 20 August 2015 21:03 (nine years ago) link
ah, they played a secret show here last month or so, i guess they're still going. glad
― flappy bird, Thursday, 20 August 2015 21:06 (nine years ago) link
everything in between is pretty good, even if nouns and weirdo rippers are better
― marcos, Thursday, 20 August 2015 21:15 (nine years ago) link
I adore EiB, Nouns, and the Losing Feeling EP is amazing too if you haven't heard it. Saw them play some great shows during that era with a third member in the band, but when I saw them for An Object it was just Dean and Randy.

weirdo rippers precedes nouns though

right there was a narrative there, about what i only did, versus what i went on to do and in fact am doing right now

oh i guess read going back and getting comfy with as revisiting
weirdo rippers rules imo

it seems like turning down the riffiness worked a bit better for them

I have never been cooler than when I knew about Weirdo Rippers when it came out.

Which made me less cool? Never really thought about this one before

no, that doesn't sound right

I didn't care for their last album that came out years ago, but this new song is excellent.

I loved that album, would rank it 2nd behind Nouns, super psyched they're back, was worried for a while they'd given up.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 18:15 (six years ago) link
That 'Losing Feeling' EP and 'Everything In Between' still blow me away.Maybe I should give 'An Object' another chance.
― campreverb, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 18:20 (six years ago) link
yeah I love it & don't know why the reception was so lukewarm at the time. I saw them play a month after it came out to a depressingly sparse crowd. they'd oversold the same venue 5 years earlier. Still super sweet guys.
Listening to the single now. I dig it, seems like an odd choice for a first single, & honestly not as good as anything on An Object. Looking forward to seeing them in November.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link
I wasn't blown away by the 'An Object' material live-it seemed tentative.saw them play a Thurston Moore SXSW showcase that blew my mind.
― campreverb, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 18:28 (six years ago) link
'fever dreaming' at a deafening volume is maybe one of my fav songs ever
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 October 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link
Yes, Fever Dreaming is my favorite too.
Maybe I need to listen to An Object more. I just remember when it came out, all the talk was about how they created all the artwork and hand-assembled the CDs themselves. When you're more excited about the packaging than the music, it's rarely a good sign.
