Really coming around to the rerecorded "Sex" - the mushy quality is right for the album, and I love the lip-quivering softness of "hhhhow" in the opening "And this is how it starts..."

I'm crying in recognition.
Is there an emoticon that adds a hint of ruefulness.

In fact from now on maybe I will just conduct all conversations about these albums via LINE.
Really coming around to the rerecorded "Sex"
i think i like it better now; it's probably just the way they produced it but it seems brighter and more energetic

way i worded that suggests i should be bizarro in the legion of doom

― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:43 (ten years ago) link
well yes exactly!! xp
the missequencing i'm most butthurt about is 'money' though, shows its clever hand just that bit too soon now
― r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:44 (ten years ago) link
Funny thread!
I think I would end up liking these guys a lot if they were played on the radio all the time
― rooibos in disguise (wins), Saturday, 31 August 2013 14:45 (ten years ago) link
a false moment i can never have again, truly i am having the realest crash course in this album

Ah rtc I only listen to mersh radio at work and 1xtra at home. 3 sometimes on a comedown and I occasionally pretend I listen to 4 but I don't really

This is okay but I'm not sure I'm really feeling the magic.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:37 (ten years ago) link
but you concede it is magical, your honor the defense rests

these guys are playing for free here next week, do you think they'll be more swoony dreamy emobient live or more shitty indie plodders?

Dunno what you're talking about m8 xp

srsly think i'm just gonna leave 'settle down' on loop and call it a day, there are no other songs in the world
― r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:12 (ten years ago) link
idk what you're on about but they're great live
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:22 (ten years ago) link
sometimes they play "head.cars.bending" and they make it pretty massive

I listened to Chocolate and the EP version of Sex again and I think I'm starting to get hooked. Kind of afraid.
― All kinds of heinous things, Saturday, 31 August 2013 23:57 (ten years ago) link
Finally tracked this down (as opposed to listening to the stream) and took it with me to the gym. Most emotional session ever.
"M.O.N.E.Y.", "Settle Down", "Girls" and "Menswear" are all thoroughly ~my shit~
― Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:03 (ten years ago) link
I like how "M.O.N.E.Y." and "Menswear" are like like parts two and three of a trilogy started by "So Far (It's Alright)".
― Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:05 (ten years ago) link
Kinda feel like Paramore's 'It Aint Fun' is a first cousin once removed to like half this album.

Just did a road trip to San Diego with the wife sans kids for a childhood friend's wedding. This and Paramore are pretty much all we listened to there and back and driving up and down the coast. I haven't had an album strike me down like this in a long time.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 2 September 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link
Sort of enjoying this. Sounds like a cross between Prefab Sprout and John Waite in both sound and vision.

Haha Matt if you come on board with this as well it will be perfect, a giant cosmic reverse-birthday-present for Lex.
I vomited on his living room floor instead. Which I think on balance would have been the preferred option of the two.
