cover art is so ugly, and all his stuff has looked so good in the past.
― mizzell, Thursday, 10 November 2011 12:36 (twelve years ago) link
I like both the picture and the font. The picture feels very early-to-mid-2000s for me, which is the era I've been nostalgic for lately.

This is so good, and Feb is so far away.

track is too nuts, its like dude took everything about him i enjoyed savoring and barfed it all over my face
that might change after a few listens tho i guess.

yeah i don't like it one bit.
― jed_, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
the rest of the album is pretty much in the same register. doesnt necessarily sound like de javu but its hella maximalist
― max, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
from Bach to Deep Purple, from Prog rock and arpeggiator disco to Acid House
p.r. description seems otm and not in a good way
― dmr, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
don't really like De Javu
not into this track AT ALL.
― oscar, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:51 (twelve years ago) link
the album isnt bad but its not really grabbing me the way his other stuff does... i should listen to it more but theres kinda too much going on, and the bad is mixed right in w/ the good
― max, Monday, 14 November 2011 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
first track is 5 minutes of organ arpeggios
― max, Monday, 14 November 2011 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
wait, is this album out there already?!??! if so, give me it.

i am not sure about this album at all
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 08:14 (twelve years ago) link
it's way maximalist and there are a billion things happening but i'm not getting a sense of what's underneath it
― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 November 2011 08:15 (twelve years ago) link
i want it!

yeah lex--i keep listening to it and then not really remembering any of it. there are bits and pieces that grab me but...
― max, Thursday, 17 November 2011 12:16 (twelve years ago) link
maybe you haven't actually heard it yet
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Thursday, 17 November 2011 14:30 (twelve years ago) link
maybe it's one of these records you can never truly hear.

I...don't think i like this album
― Number None, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
me neither. way too busy and "wacky."

wacky is the word
― Number None, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
well I like it enough for both of you guys and probably everyone else in the world
― DWARF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (jamescobo), Saturday, 7 January 2012 02:59 (twelve years ago) link
I like it a lot. Definitely functionally different from his other stuff, and wild with the comb filtering on everything
― gord downer (Ówen P.), Saturday, 7 January 2012 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
I don't hate this but it does seem a bit of a mis-step, especially the end of Magik and the first two minutes of Call Me Anytime.

listened to this for the first time today while shoveling my driveway. good snow shoveling music.

(usual grumble)
Is this actually out yet? Available to listen or purchase anywhere (legally)?
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Sunday, 15 January 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
Liked it well enough on first listen. (I think it's still promo at this point.)

unfortunately that track is better than anything on the new Lindstrom album...
― skip, Monday, 23 January 2012 05:27 (twelve years ago) link
anyone loves this? this ranks up there with lindstrom's best stuff:

busy + wacky = valid description tags.
result : not for me
as an aside : i really liked the 1st 120 days album (ltd edition with remixes by secret machines), so have high hopes for the new album ..

I'm not sure about it really, it's fine when it's on but there's not much that's very compelling about it. Like he was seriously blocked or something at the time and compensated for a lack of ideas with a lot of swirly tricks.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 29 January 2012 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
Best Coast remix is out. I kinda like it. He played it as the "finale" in his set at Santos last fall
― dmr, Monday, 30 January 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
upon reflection, i only really love "de javu" and "magic"

ok so Todd Rundgren has remixed a Lindstrom track.

It's cool, but essentially this :/
― I'm not going leftfield on you... (hypehat), Thursday, 2 February 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
it does sound exactly how you would imagine it to. Maybe Rundgren will let him into some old multitracks in return.
― owenf, Thursday, 2 February 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
is there another version of that anywhere? my soundcard doesnt like however they put that in to flash :(

I agree Six Cups is fun (funny, even). But can see why a lot of folk who like the previous albums are gonna balk at this. It's like he thought "how can I combine Blast Of Loser and Little Drummer Boy and make them even more annoying?". The 'singing' on tracks 3 and 4 is going to get some getting used to as well. But I think he needed to do something a bit different at this point. And I love the arc of the record, the blurred edges between tracks (it feels a bit like a mix CD) and the way it comes full circle at the end. The whole is definitely > the sum of its parts.
