haha otm

i'm actually almost in tears help me
these are the best songs i've ever heard

when i first heard "talk!" this was precisely how i felt

the instrumental section in "settle down" I AM DANCING AROUND MY ROOM THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I'VE EVER BEEN

you guys are killing me

which is funny bc my favorite part of "robbers" is definitely now everybody's DEAAAAAD

which, for ppl who can't be bothered to dig through the zane lowe stream

??? There's nothing bad or offensive about any of these songs but I don't see what the big deal is. They sound like any multitude of bands you'd see covered by Alternative Press. Like a late 2000's emo band reinventing themselves as an opener for Maroon 5.

idk

holy shit this description is PERFECT

please "All kind of heinous things" allow me to direct you to MAROON 5 SINGLES POLL

I'm jealous of how much you guys are liking them, I can hear that I should be into it but they remind me too much of every tool hanging out at the Old Blue Last (which I have no reason to believe is a fair assessment) for me to listen with adequately open ears.

holy shit this description is PERFECT

yeah the reason i find them pretty novel is i don't have a precedent for a hybridization of emo and '80s r&b

The instinctive aversion of people with taste kinda makes me enjoy them more? idk

poor ithappens then ..

Just turned in my AP review this morning, ha ha. It'll be on their website early next week.

i'm curious as to your take on it phil. looking forward to the review

I'm curious how AP's readers will respond to it, since to me this album sounds super '80s - I reference Wang Chung, Fun Boy Three, General Public and John Hughes movie soundtracks.

this is the best album of all time (only halfway through)

yep

this is the best album of all time (only halfway through)

yep

streaming tears of joy

push your lack of chest out
look at my hair
gotta love the way you love yourself

your obsession with rocks and brown and fucking the whole town is a reflection on your mental health

what's with shipley's silence on these kids?

way too british for shipley right?

yeah that was my thought too

"settle down" btw, man

the percussion cadence in "pressure" reminds me of "steal my sunshine"

hi what'd I miss??

feel like this thread is made for me

all my ILX and real life bros are defending this thing, so I'm downloading now

I'm loving "Heart Out", though it does make me want to start singing the lyrics of "This Must Be The Place" on top of it.

I've got the Shipley's covered on this one.

Missing the more ambient, drifting tracks from the EP's.

Those are cool n all but this album is something special. No complaints at all.

I think the second half is even better than the first half.

"menswear" is an excellent hybrid of the ambient drifting stuff and the stuff on the album so it's hard for me to miss that aspect
