I like that it's recognizably the same song, only DANCE

Because if you buy it on vinyl in the hope that it has dynamic range and isn't hot mastered like the CD, you're in for a disappointment.

Speaking from experience btw

i bought it in the hope of hearing some rad music
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 20 December 2013 13:48 (ten years ago) link
Me too! I just wish the quiet bits sounded proportionately quieter than the loud bits and there was less overall distortion. Like Nick S might say, it's more fun that way.
― Supposed Former ILM Lurker (WeWantMiles), Friday, 20 December 2013 14:41 (ten years ago) link
ha, i bought and listened to this on CD for the first and second time today.

Huh, so re: previous versions of "The Wire", they said they recorded it 7 or 8 times before they came up with a version they saw fit for release.

I think the biggest Fleetwood Mac influence is the bass player looks almost exactly like Mick Fleetwood, even going as far as to ape his gruesome facial tics:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOaQBiP1_qA

Just now getting on this bandwagon, was sold from the first thirty seconds of "Falling." Wow!
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 6 January 2014 16:59 (ten years ago) link
they're very tight live. SNL is tough to pull off. You can definitely see why the lead vocalist is the lead in that video.

Wait you're telling me Fleetwood Mac was actually named after a person...?

I really love "Falling" and "Let Me Go"

I don't know if you were responding to me or not, but just to be clear I didn't mean she was the better looking one or anything, just seems to be the most confident performer.

finally bought this album the other day after playing the "Forever" EP over and over again. Excellent album, and how has "If I Could Change Your Mind" not been made a single yet? One of my favourites from last year, for sure.

It's the only Haim track on my ballot (my other favorites placed last year).
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 January 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
I'm sure I read somewhere that If I Could Change Your Mind was the next single.

Is "Go Slow" on the album mixed differently from the version on the "Forever" EP? It sounds subtly different, the vocals on the chorus are a bit richer-sounding.

This is like "The WIre" video except more honest lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u4tpZFf5xI

this doesn't sound like haim tho
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 14 January 2014 14:54 (ten years ago) link
sounds more like be your own pet or something
i know i was joking
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 14 January 2014 15:00 (ten years ago) link
its more of a conceptual thing
Listening to the album for the first time (I bought all the early singles, but interest had waned by the time Days Are Gone was released). Most striking thing for me is the Pinback riff (Non-Photo Blue) in Go Slow.
― how's life, Friday, 17 January 2014 13:38 (ten years ago) link
...which apparently I didn't notice on the ep.

Am I the only one who has noticed the complete absence of pronouns on this album? Not saying, but just saying.
― Emined - FAP God (The Reverend), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 03:49 (ten years ago) link
You mean second person pronouns? Cause there are plenty of me's and I's on there.
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 03:57 (ten years ago) link
there are plenty of yous--rev u mean gendered pronouns?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 03:58 (ten years ago) link
Third person singular (human) Y'all need pronoun school
― mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 04:33 (ten years ago) link
err, yeah, I meant gendered pronouns. I should have been more specific.
― Emined - FAP God (The Reverend), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 04:37 (ten years ago) link
yeah i don't think this is surprising, my fav haim lyrics (the wire, if i could change your mind) are from the perspective of someone who's very much in their own head so it's all i/you hypersubjective stuff
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 05:13 (ten years ago) link
I haven't really thought about their lyrics a ton because they generally settle for being serviceable to the song, rather than attention-drawing in their own right, but otm!
― Emined - FAP God (The Reverend), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 05:25 (ten years ago) link
They're sisters therefore lesbians duh
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 11:51 (ten years ago) link
I don't get any gender-attraction-ambivalence vibes from Haim but I like that "Honey & I" (my favourite track) is like a post-breakup "Wannabe".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 12:10 (ten years ago) link

Wow, I've been p underwhelmed by everything I've heard by these guys so far but Days Are Gone (the song)is p great huh? Pur cyborg pop, like a combination of Big Love and Strawberry Skies
