the first and last song on the new EP - Losing Feeling are masterpieces.adding reverb and shoegaze to their sound,reducing the punk - the new direction they took sounds great.

also,Randall voice sounds fragile, more emotional - the first song is kinda sad.

You need to sign up for a Sub Pop account a shit, although I think it's free. NB I haven't tried to sign up or listen to the stream yet.

these guys are still just ok.
the "japanther is better" thing is funny and backs my sentiment as they were always just sort of ok as well but had the hype.
this all just makes me think of the locust. as in hype.

japanther are pretty good I think

the new EP is pretty solid. i agree with what's been said about the first and last songs on it. the other stuff is a bit harder to get into, but it reminds me a lot of what was compiled on weirdo rippers.
japanther are decent-- you can't really fault them for coming out after no age-- but their songs don't stick as well as no age's stuff does.
― borntohula, Thursday, 6 August 2009 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Japanther were out well before No Age, maybe you're thinking of Japandroids?

When the title track of the new ep finally kicks in on the final minute, it fucking RIPS. No Age's finest minute, I think, and I'll definitely be picking it up when it comes out even though the singing on the second track is off key in the kind of way that actually makes my hair stand up and my jaw jut out a little uncontrollably, in a bad bad way.

well kinda, they were shoegazy and reverby on the first lp. then dropped some of it on the second. and on halfway through a first drunken hearing it sounds like both albums are sort of squashed together.pretty good, but i'll defo wait until tomorrow to provide a concrete opinion.to be honest it sounds more like weirdo rippers than nouns, there are definite proper abstract songs. but also, there are the full on punk rawk tracks which i love.a gud ep.

xpost
but i for sure have a soft spot for these guys; regardless of the pitchfork hype. i love the hard drums with pop hooks. srsly fucking love that. can deal with the heavy reverb and think it adds something to the music, but am glad that its not all echoey and experimental...

two new songs on their myspace: "In Peril," which could almost be from Pink Flag if it didn't sound like No Age, scrappy and too short to only listen to once, and "Brett Schultz Himself," which I think shows the Disco Inferno influence they've been talking about.

★★★Glittter!!!★★★
kind of a let down in my o. Where's the energy, bros? I think the lackluster drum beat is the problem. It might grow on me though
you can also listen to "Inflorescence" at pitchfork, which isn't going to be on the album, but it is good. More like what I want from them.

Fever Dreaming absolutely killed when I saw them a few months ago. So much so that I actually remembered its existence when I heard this record and said "I remember this! It was good!"
