And where the hell exactly is the elevator?

as much as it pains me to say it, my opinion of this is much closer to imago's than "this might as well be pomplamoose" or "it's awful"
rather surprising in a very good way actually. never thought i'd see them do music together again, much less that they'd come back with something this good.
idk who max tundra is but perhaps i should? the production is memorable and beautifully detailed

As a fan of both Max Tundra and Daphne and Celeste, I find this to be a bit "meh". I think I much prefer this Perfume song which blatantly knocks of off Max Tundra, than Max Tundra working with an actual pop group:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edyARJq9sgM

pretty disappointingly bland to be honest, especially given the lyrics calling out lazy songwriting and this is mainly four chord dirge?
doesn't really take advantage of what daphne and celeste did and/or max tundra's ability. i would love this to be more like parallax error squeezed into a more of a pop sensability but still bursting at the seams. i can imagine something akin to a more "progged out" sophie?
also not into the fact that all the pretty clunky lyrics are so max tundra-ish. fair enough, he's probably writing, but it seems a bit disingenuous coming from two other singer's voice? much like that little shout-out section in you or i alone... that's clearly all in his voice right? or are daphne and celeste also fans of educating marmalade, ariel pink, infinite jest, black dice and captain beefheart etc. etc.?
i love the idea of this collaboration but so far it just seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity for me unfortunately

Looking back, though, I think the most exciting thing playing shows around that time was there was a real run-in between Stereophonics, Travis, and Coldplay. No one could tell which one of those very similar bands was gonna come out on top. I’m still surprised Coldplay won that one, I thought it was gonna be Travis.

a.l.t.o. to taking notes is a great run... 16 stars and paint can especially. still not into bb; weird that the two more leaden tracks were the lead-off singles (though i like you & i alone, moreso in album sequence)
main complaint is how their voices are euthanized into anonymity. bothers me a little less if i just think of it as a max tundra record with other voices on it. same with with the lyrics which i've already gone on about.

This doesn't entirely narrow it down, but I understand there was a lot less of that than the average Max Tundra gig. And several ex-ILXors (with mark s)!
I can hear some of the criticisms of the record (though not of BB, whose only fault is that it stops at the point where it was about to really kick off), but it turns out this is the band that pushes me into the tedious "the record is only a crude effort at the songs, the real act is live" camp.

critical indifference to this is predictable and irritating

it's really good; I feel like the critical indifference is mostly because it took so long since "You and I Alone"

surprisingly this actually gets better over time. love how it's a throwback not just in the traditional way but also in a stranger sense where it sounds like it's from an era when pop records were eccentric and strange. think "16 Stars" is my favorite track now. I love that "you could almost pretend to/see I'd always defend you" refrain

it's an amazing record tbh but it's as much max tundra's big pop move as anything

yea I didn't know if it was gonna hold up after a few listens but it actually kinda gets better the more you know the songs

Yeah, I wasn't completely sold on this the first few listens, but I've really come round to. It's making a great summer soundtrack right now. I ended up ordering the vinyl as the prices have gone right down on Amazon/eBay. It was $11 including shipping which is an absolute steal.

BTW, does anyone know anything about CSS stuff for reddit? I have r/daphneandceleste - I made it ages ago, but have never done anything with it. So if you have a clue about that stuff...
