Not a single standout on this great great album for me. Such an amazing hangover of an album. After the sophtware died, and they tried and failed to sober up, and this is what happened. It's like getting a blue screen after a hard reset. Head aching and hung over on the porch, in the scorching sun. Passed out in a Datsun. I will defend this album to the teeth.

oh. new one is good.

new one is pretty good! "Evermore" is instantly one of their best songs

it's nice iin that this album just feels like a logical next album, not like some big reunion thing after years with loads of expectations

"you grieve like a freeway tree" is a pretty great line

Sumday was the first Grandaddy album I disliked. Just listened again and don't get it. The Sophtware Slump was their high point for me.

New album is mediocre at best. 'Evermore' a sordid attempt at grasping at past heights. Saying it's Deserter's Songs II and much, much better than that is just challops.

when have they ever used such krautrock keyboards before??

anyway, all of their albums are growers

It's totally depressing somehow

calstars, Sunday, 5 March 2017 23:15 (seven years ago) link

I guess that's the charm

calstars, Sunday, 5 March 2017 23:15 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, I am not getting the hype for the new album at all. I can't find one memorable song on there. Sumday is enjoyable, but was a massive step down after Under The Western Freeway and The Sophtware Slump.

"Krautrock keyboards", really?

I wished much better for these guys instead of this hook-free, dread-free, forgettable return.
