so is this good or
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:01 (nine years ago) link
trying to figure that out. first track ("irresistible") is a big stomper like "centuries"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:02 (nine years ago) link
but i remember sort of disliking my first listen of save rock and roll so i'm just kinda making tentative judgments rn
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:03 (nine years ago) link
"uma thurman" is referring to a v specific song and i don't know the title of it
bond guitar! horns!
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:10 (nine years ago) link
"jet pack blues" !!!!!!!!
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:12 (nine years ago) link
As long as there's nothing else as flavorless as "Centuries" or "Immortals" I will approve
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:13 (nine years ago) link
so far nope, everything is a very distinct flavor
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:14 (nine years ago) link
thrilling to the chorus of "novocaine"
just thrilling
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:15 (nine years ago) link
it does a lot of things in a very small space
closer better live up to its title

incidentally SRNR had my personal highest hit:miss rato of any FOB album, which I suspect I'm alone on
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:18 (nine years ago) link
man, nonstop massive choruses on this record so far
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:19 (nine years ago) link
so far this is sort of like a continuation of save rock and roll but the songs are just exploding out of themselves
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:21 (nine years ago) link
"favorite record" is the false crj jam of this one
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:23 (nine years ago) link
"immortals" just started and bummed me out
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:25 (nine years ago) link
For such a blatant pop act they really are terribly represented by their singles (esp. lately)
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:27 (nine years ago) link
i like a lot of things it's doing but i really think it's the ugly "imorrrrhorrrr-immortahls" in the second half of the chorus that sinks it for me
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:28 (nine years ago) link
lotta stuff happening in that final track
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:30 (nine years ago) link
pretty much all of it great
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:31 (nine years ago) link
great record
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:33 (nine years ago) link
i like the first track now
it's irresistiBLE!
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:34 (nine years ago) link
ok officially stoked for this now thx
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 06:37 (nine years ago) link
yeah this is awesome
― Mordy, Sunday, 4 January 2015 07:29 (nine years ago) link
I love "Uma Thurman" so much, off-brand "Misirlou" guitar line and coke-snorting sound and all

I agree almost 100 percent actually - last time I listened I was like "are only the odd numbered tracks good on this?"

Is this CDQ
― 龜, Sunday, 4 January 2015 15:36 (nine years ago) link
on first spin "The Kids Aren't Alright" sounds like the towering standout, though I like the "Pastime Paradise"ish outro on "Twin Skeletons." definitely their most streamlined record, not sure if that's a good thng or not yet
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
really bombastic but in a way that seems much more...confident than SRAR. like they know definitely what type of band they want to be now, which i don't necessarily think was the case with comeback FOB v 1.0 on the last record.
― i'm tellin you it was kenard (slothroprhymes), Sunday, 4 January 2015 20:10 (nine years ago) link

patrick might just be saying "stay up stay whoaaa" but that's what i get from it

the leak is kinda terrible quality which normally doesn't bother me much but i imagine this album in particular will sound fuller w/ higher quality files?

Technically not cancer but actually worse than most.
But I came here to say "OMG Uma Thurman".
