Feeling a little more optimistic about this album.

Okay, so it leaked.
― Benjamin-, Monday, 12 April 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
should i start a thread for the leak?
― ksh, Monday, 12 April 2010 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link

Did these guys ever get decent again or did they keep sucking after their 3rd album? (I stopped paying attention about 4 years ago)
― Darin, Monday, 12 April 2010 17:35 (fourteen years ago) link
New album seems pretty weak on first listen.
― Benjamin-, Monday, 12 April 2010 17:48 (fourteen years ago) link
every bss release up until now (including brendan canning & kevin drew) is at least very good

i haven't heard Feel Good Lost since 2005, but do you think that one's worthwhile too?
― ksh, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link
i barely even remember what it sounded like -- it was all instrumental i think? maybe ambient in parts? *shrugs*
ya it's just really pretty "ambient" instrumental jams. i tend to start my broken social scene calendar on yfip but fgl is nice, a friend of mine put it on one night, def some solid moments of transcendental beauty contained on that record.

just heard "Forced To Love" . . . i don't think i'll be buying this record :-(
― ksh, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 01:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I miss the production of s/t.
― calstars, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 03:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh come on. Really? Barf out.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 04:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I'm not loving this after one listen.
― sofatruck, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 14:45 (fourteen years ago) link
RIP BSS, i can see this record getting tepid reviews and falling off the face of the earth more or less immediately
― ksh, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 14:46 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe, but "Art House Director" is awesome.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 14 April 2010 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Aside from "Art House Director" and "Water in Hell," this album is really boring.

I'd say
Sweetest KillArt House DirectorUngrateful Little FatherAll to AllWorld Sick
all count as at least being "pretty good." I don't think there's as much glut as there was on the s/t (IE "Bandwitch," etc.).
― Simon H., Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah there are some decent tunes here... its growing on me. But that Lisa Lobsinger comment up thread is OTM, "All to All" sucks.
― sofatruck, Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link
also I think McEntire's production is kind of a step up tbh - I'd love to hear what he'd have done with the s/t material
― Simon H., Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:56 (fourteen years ago) link
"Romance to the Grave" is a neat tune, too. Not so keen on "Water in Hell," though I get that people dig its Pavement-y vibe. (I hear Spiral Stairs makes some cameos on this one?)
― Simon H., Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Not a big fan of Ungreatful Little Father. Other than World Sick, I think the Kevin Drew songs are kind of weak. Also, he comes off abrasive or maybe cynical on this album. Do you hear that at all?
― Benjamin-, Thursday, 15 April 2010 05:52 (fourteen years ago) link
this band only has one good song, the one where the girl sings with the robot voice about other girls putting on makeup. if you conform to gender roles, you are a robot! whoooaaaaa so many layers

8.3 -- BNM
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14200-forgiveness-rock-record/
― ksh, Monday, 3 May 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
That works out nicely since they have 8.3 guitarists.
― billstevejim, Monday, 3 May 2010 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link
it's a good record. crank up the volume to 8.3.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 3 May 2010 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link
(i'm actually looking forward to hearing this).

After a few listens, completely underwhelmed. At it's worst it's just 'noodly,' with unintelligible lyrics and weak melodies
― calstars, Friday, 7 May 2010 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
you are correct
so far, i'm only digging "World Sick," "Forced To Love," and "All To All"

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 7 May 2010 15:47 (fourteen years ago) link
It's growing on me. Definitely their weakest album. But I still like this band and I love seeing them live.
― Benjamin-, Friday, 7 May 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
this record is execrable!
― ksh, Friday, 7 May 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
rip broken social scene -- LP4. an album this good deserved two threads.

deleting it track by track, as they each finish. RIP BSS

(re: upthread recc) If you haven't checked out the Radio Dept. album, ksh, it really is great. It's been on heavy rotation in my apartment for the last month.

ksh, it's not that bad!

DON'T DO IT YOU ALREADY KILLED THE OTHER BSS LP4 THREAD AND THAT ONE WAS GOOD TOO
Morday: will do! thanks for the tip
