teasing something

yesss

no idea what Yoni Wolf contributed, but damn.

it's alright but i think i'll like it more in the context of the album, on its own like this it doesn't quite have the weight that this sort of big power-ballad thing seems like it should?

i finally heard this and it rules

"speak with the dead" i mean

absolutely amazing

I like it a lot. I think it'll sound even better in context.

drop that fuckin preorder info lads

the groove change in the second half is so unexpected and amazing

loving the ambition and what this does with rhythm, favourite thing is whatever on earth the drums are doing throughout the first half

a goofy comparison to make with this one is avicii

jam

based on the two new songs i'm excited for this to outdo nearer my god

so far i'm intrigued but i think i'll like them both in context of the album

it's out august 6th

wasn't expecting them to make an arcade fire song

weird/fun chord progressions on that one, I confess I haven't been straightforwardly bowled over by the new songs like I was "slapstick" or "nearer my god" but I am still cautiously optimistic

based on the twothree new songs i'm excited for this to outdo nearer my god

album of the year

how could you be lukewarm about this one!!!!!

lmao HELL YEAH

huh i should go to the hammerstein show... love hammerstein

how could you be lukewarm about this one!!!!!

I'm listening back to all the singles now, I guess I mainly just don't find their synth/electronic sounds very interesting and the mixing/production hurts my ears at times, I miss the warmth and spaciousness of the previous records (there is a bit of this on "speak with the dead" at least)

i'm starting a second thread for this album

this one kinda sounds like odd blood-era yeasayer, obviously ymmv

here to give these guys unwieldy thread titles:
