just do not hear the peter gabriel thing at all, not even on "castles in the snow", which otherwise sounds exactly like TVOTR sounding like peter gabriel. i do like it in spite of it not sounding even a tiny bit like peter gabriel.

Hey I am really liking this album.
And I *do* see the Gabriel thing, at least on a few of the songs - early era Gabriel, not shit like "sledgehammer" ffs. Something about the production and vocal work.
It has a real 80s 4AD feel to it as well: a bit Clan of Xymox, a bit Modern English, in feel.
I am liking this muchly on first listen.
― cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Thursday, 21 October 2010 04:49 (fifteen years ago)
Stuff like "Slow" on the other hand sounds massively Morrisey-esque.
YES i knew the gabriel was there thanks trayce
― max, Thursday, 21 October 2010 04:50 (fifteen years ago)
u r welcome. I totally hear it! Which makes it really bloody good.

hey guys i'm looking for max's official thread on this band, is this it?
― george pimpton (s1ocki), Thursday, 21 October 2010 04:52 (fifteen years ago)
I've been loving the shit out of a few bands doing this kind of dreamy 80s pop lately - Bell Hollow, Veil Veil Vanish, old Prids stuff.
xpost haha.

just to clear up any confusion, cutty "hipped" max to the band!

Yeah I don't think I even managed to listen to this in its entirety. Forget is one of my favourites from this decade as well. :(
― carly bae jepsen (monotony), Monday, 13 July 2015 23:22 (ten years ago)
forget has got to be his best. the other two don't have the same strangeness. when i first head forget it seemed like an album i dreamed up after falling asleep watching weird science.

His new single features Haim and is thankfully so much better than anything on that last album.

Listening to Forget again. It really is one of the most perfect records of the decade for me.
― kitchen person, Saturday, 17 March 2018 22:20 (eight years ago)
"I Can't Wait" one of the least popular songs on Forget according to Spotify stats. I don't understand people at all.
― what you say is true but by no means (lukas), Thursday, 14 September 2023 22:36 (two years ago)
Yeah that's odd considering its strengths and that the closing title track has a lot more. Although I often skip 'Tyrant Destroyed' this is still one of my favourite albums since 2010.
In the past there was an additional version of 'Forget' on Spotify with iirc a slightly different running order and the apostrophe in 'I Can't Wait' was also different - don't suppose that could've affected its tally at all?
