every time

The only Pazz & Jop results that have bothered me:

When "The Story" is the weakest thing they've put out to date, that's pretty astonishing.

Even the Red Hot + Fela track is amazing.

fear this album like the rapture tbh

I'm stockpiling canned goods as we speak.

goddamn this new song

This thread is a bitch to find.

xposting from the year end thread

it's really good :)

you seeing that LPR show Maura? Writing a longer piece?

(talked to some industry people who i respect who saw them at APAP and said they seemed "academic"; i am very curious to hear for myself)

what does "academic" mean in that context?

paris (the multi-instrumentalist) is a tremendous synth nerd

nah i live in boston and am traveling too much. but i am writing about them. i thought they were incredible at great scott in 2014.

yeah they're great live. i saw them at lpr two years ago and it was such a gentle, sweet show

xp by "academic" i believe she meant technically polished but not especially present... which she hastened to point out could mean they just had an off night and were falling back on training to keep them afloat. She buttressed all that with a "it's not that every act has to lead with their soul but i thought KING certainly would"

IT'S HERE Y'ALL

Yaaaaay

AAAAAAAAAAA

oh my god, i cannot deal with today

<3 <3 <3 <3 !! !

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT? MY HEAD IS SPINNING

RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND RUNNING AND RUNNING AROUND

If it follows the pattern of the annual song they've released for the past few years, this...should be close to my favourite album of the decade.

sounding good so far!

yeah this is pretty nuts, the first song wasn't my fav but glad i stuck with it instead of going over to rihanna right away cos damn does everything sound good. need to hear hq tho

I stopped the Rihanna to play this haha.

This album just ended and I applauded.

chord progression in the bridge of "the right one" is essentially the peak of music for me

i know i'm gonna fill this thread with hyperbole but i really feel that

does "the greatest" sound even more like an infinite swirl in album context? yes

god i feel like a diamond buried in a riverbed

i'm a little drunk which i think is appropriate

this shit is sick

"The Greatest" sounds way better on the album than in isolation.

the new intros and outros on the old songs are like some ascension to heaven-level shit

the "supernatural" intro is unreal

Okay, really, releasing this in January is really unfair to everyone else who wanted to release an album this year. Y'all can't make a better one than this.

i think i can sink into this album forever!

ok I got a little more to drink and wow "love song"

i think my spine is melting

"What's wrong with Brad?"
"An album stream melted his spine. It's rare, but it happens."

haven't followed the tracklist but whatever guitar solo happens at 45 mins is very *throws devil horns*

jesus the last song

i've spent a lot of time with these singles and they honestly feel brand new on the album

that is nuts, that never happens

hmm this wasn't what i was looking for ... lol

i mean kudos to them that they have built such a rich and seamless and iridescent ecosystem in which i hope to live forever

this album is an hour long? this is literally the only album on earth where i will not mind that it is an hour long

"the story" as the penultimate track feels like some kind of full circle thing idk. feeling something like completed symmetry just hearing that synth line

well cool i have been woven gently into the fabric of the universe. goodnight everyone

haven't followed the tracklist but whatever guitar solo happens at 45 mins is very *throws devil horns*
