xp: I might have to go that route if they release any more advance songs. All the tracks they've released so far have hit my sweet spot where I can just play them endlessly on repeat. I want to save something for when the album comes out.

I'm surprised by the mixed reception for "last man on earth", it stops me in my tracks every time

the first few tracks on this are really cool & cinematic

great album, they really love their dramatic sweeping crescendos now

"lipstick on the glass" is so good

Has it leaked? Y’all got promos?
I was a bit meh about the tracks I’ve heard so far but that wee audience-less Worthy Farm show last weekend was fantastic. I mean they’ve seemed like Glastonbury Pyramid Stage headline material since the first album so fair dos, I hope they get to headline a night at next year’s.

Hoping this shows up at some local shops, $20 for the CD on Amazon and I can't find a bandcamp page for them.

oh yeah this is really fucking good
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:20 (two years ago) link
only halfway through but this already feels like the most cohesive/considered rock record I've heard since the empty country album
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:21 (two years ago) link
"lipstick on the glass"... i apparently love to compare rock bands to radiohead this year but that's some moon shaped pool-esque mastery of dynamics. album is really well-paced too, which is where i felt visions of a life got a little lost
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:32 (two years ago) link
literally cannot imagine how this album could sound better
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:35 (two years ago) link
"how can i make it ok?" my favorite song of all time
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:39 (two years ago) link
yeah this seems like pretty obviously their best album, filler-free and fully realized
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:49 (two years ago) link
and when your friends are talkingyou hardly hear a wordyou were the first person hereand the last man on the earth
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:51 (two years ago) link
"last man on the earth" right into "no hard feelings" might be the most emotionally devastating thing that ever happened to me lol

That song has a very Fleetwood Mac sound to it. Love it.
― peace, man, Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:13 (two years ago) link
I immediately thought of the Mac as well
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:36 (two years ago) link
presale code for the tour is BlueWeekend21. Got myself tickets to 1st night in DC.
― peace, man, Thursday, 3 June 2021 22:16 (two years ago) link
Can't believe no-one's mentioned Abba; Feeling Myself sounds like Eagle! Touches of Haim's last album in there too.
This is miles better than the last album. Those first three tracks are something else. Phew well that's a relief.
― piscesx, Thursday, 3 June 2021 23:12 (two years ago) link
the only track i'm not completely sold on is "play the greatest hits", the verse is just a little grating
agree that it's very clearly their best album
― ufo, Thursday, 3 June 2021 23:54 (two years ago) link
"how can i make it ok" is really wonderful but should have had like a acoustic guitar solo or something to complete the balearic feel
― ufo, Friday, 4 June 2021 07:07 (two years ago) link
"safe from heartbreak" is one of the best "short mid-album breather ballads" I've ever heard, and a LOT of bands have tried it

That stretch from "Safe from Heartbreak" to "Play the Greatest Hits" had my head spinning.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 4 June 2021 15:26 (two years ago) link
my only real complaint is the "Beach" bookends are a little on the slight side, but that's really just "I want more" which is the best type of complaint to have
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Friday, 4 June 2021 15:28 (two years ago) link
it was cool that the pre-release tracks didn't really reveal what the album was going for much, like only "the last man on earth" hinted at it, and even though i enjoy it a lot more in the context of the album it feels a bit more obvious than the rest in its big dramatic build etc.
― ufo, Friday, 4 June 2021 15:43 (two years ago) link
"beach ii" is one of the best songs on the album, swan dive into shoegaze
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 4 June 2021 16:19 (two years ago) link
this album feels 15 minutes long (this is a compliment)
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Friday, 4 June 2021 16:20 (two years ago) link
i have said it before but the drummer in this band is a beast
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 4 June 2021 16:32 (two years ago) link
And his background vocals on Safe From Heartbreak are very welcome indeed.
― peace, man, Friday, 4 June 2021 16:40 (two years ago) link
i really want them to next make an album that takes this one's sound and lets all the songs sprawl for 10 minutes each. give me some epics
― ufo, Friday, 4 June 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I would have loved an epic a la the Visions of a Life title track. Like to hear them play around with these textures more. I'd be up for that.
From a track-listing perspective though, Delicious Things into Lipstick on the Glass is pretty substantial chunk of album there (and right at the beginning too!).
― peace, man, Friday, 4 June 2021 17:15 (two years ago) link
oh yeah those first three tracks together are incredible
― ufo, Friday, 4 June 2021 17:19 (two years ago) link
ok i even love "play the greatest hits" now though it's not quite as good at the sort of thing it does as "yuk foo"

anyone getting Susanne Sundfør vibes on "How Can I Make It OK"?
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 6 June 2021 11:43 (two years ago) link
Definitely. And I’m so impressed by the vocals across every track; hooks all over the place.
Last album didn’t do much for me besides Don’t Delete The Kisses, but I’m blown away by this.
― triggercut, Sunday, 6 June 2021 11:49 (two years ago) link
oh yeah i hear that alfred
