Health - Health

Only "Tears", which appears in the promo video, is really like their prior work. The soundtrack album is otherwise instrumental, with their excellent drummer playing Brazilian (as is the game's setting) percussion at the forefront.

new album is pretty good. huge step toward pop accessibility IMO

Not much difference with Get Color on the pop accessibility front, the most notable change to my ears are the drums are pushed up in the mix, and way more aggressive on around half the tracks.

this is pretty cheesy

i really dug the max payne 3 soundtrack

I like this album and need to listen to that soundtrack :)

LIFE is a good direction :)

cheesiness works well with them vocals imo

LIFE is so incredible! Like an emo teen pop song, covered by an industrial band.

I don't know what I want / know that I don't / know what I want
I don't know what I want / know that I don't / know what I want
No nobody knows / nobody does / nobody knows
No nobody knows / nobody does / nobody knows

Adore this album.

Although it does sound like Beach House's Bloom plus power saws.

really not digging the mix on this. i could def get behind an even more tuneful/vox-focused HEALTH, but it feels like every time they want to bring something noisier into it there's no no punch. maybe i have a bad rip idk, that would be a pleasant surprise.

maybe a bad rip? the noisy bits seems punchy enough on the vinyl pressing. the vocals are high in the mix but it's meant to be a pop record i reckon.

lol @ beach house plus power saws. i would pay good money to see that show.

Surprised that this isn't a bigger deal than it is.

I feel vindicated in liking it if you're on my side, Tim!

Well I am a corny fuxx so

Yeah, this is album I come back to a lot.

His vocals oscillate somehow between New Order and Placebo.

Liking the music but the fey vocals really grate

New album seems pretty solid, not hugely different from the last one, maybe a bit heavier.

Vol 4 doing it for me right now. Up to this point I'd only listened to SLAVES OF FEAR a million times, but the rest of the album is solid.

I have a subwoofer in my living room but not my kitchen, and out of all the music I've listened to it - including a LOT of dance music - this is the album that showed the biggest quality difference with/without a sub.

anyone else still following HEALTH? missed lukas's previous revive here

the ongoing remix/collaboration stuff scratches an itch I didn't know I had a few years ago

new album RAT WARS out today, sounding good so far
