Brad, where would you have placed Br@nd N3w in your list if you had included it?
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 1 December 2017 12:28 (six years ago) link
eh i’d rather not say, though i think it’s obvious from how enthusiastic i was about it when it came out
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 1 December 2017 13:29 (six years ago) link
I was afraid you were going to say that.

my remaining hope for 2017 is that Quote Unquote surprise-drops the new Antarctigo Vespucci before the month is out, not sure how likely that really is though
― Simon H., Friday, 1 December 2017 14:35 (six years ago) link
are earlier sorority noise albums good? i listened to a bit of one and it seemed to be lacking, something (the humour? the killer arrangements? his delivery was a little less dry maybe) that make 'you're not as _____ as you think' so good to me
The new one is definitely the crowd-pleaser. Joy, Departed was a very sour record, and the It Kindly Stopped for Me EP is such a rough listen it almost feels like grief rendered into a snuff film. The tougher, alt-rock thing of the new one is a great look for them though.

brad was not lying about the Glassjaw album, easily one of the least compromising reunion records I can recall

the nasty basslines and slurred guitars remind me a bit of Unsane
― Simon H., Friday, 1 December 2017 15:19 (six years ago) link
I'm on it!
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 1 December 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
"nasty" is the right word i think
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:38 (six years ago) link
simon if you haven't heard them i recommend the two eps glassjaw put out before this record, they were the first glassjaw things i even sorta liked and they sound even better alongside the new album
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 1 December 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
i like the new one so much that i'm gonna struggle to give a shit about worship & tribute again

that midsection where it just falls into a cavern ("strange hours" / "bastille day") is really cool
― Simon H., Friday, 1 December 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link
I definitely underestimated the caracara album. it's seriously great.

everyone get hyped for next year's black foxxes album, it is phenomenal. for fans of merchandise and manchester orchestra but i think everyone here will be able to get down with it

uhhhh wow

I can't tell if I truly love this or if I'm just dazzled by the fact that this particular "epic EDM + metal bits" combo has finally been executed well
― Simon H., Wednesday, 13 December 2017 21:16 (six years ago) link
same! but i think i really like it!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 December 2017 21:57 (six years ago) link

yes I think that is the correct descriptor, not quite a masterwork/major statement like WORRY was but lots of great and appealingly weird moments
