^^^What's really great about that track is that that is the chorus, it's not just a fucking instrumental they've slapped a great title on.
― Dom Passantino, Friday, 4 January 2008 19:33 (sixteen years ago) link
My copy has a track 12, called "2007 The Year Punk Broke (My Heart)"
Anyway, so yeah, 2008 album of the year.

I can't wait to listen to this, but as hungover as I am, I'm not sure my head will be able to stand it just yet.

I relented, it's as wonderful as I'd hoped.

guitars on this are great
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 January 2008 23:34 (sixteen years ago) link
sadly, much as when live, this is boringly samey. you can interchange vocal lines between most of their songs.
― Simon H., Friday, 4 January 2008 23:37 (sixteen years ago) link
when seen live
I was really hoping they'd have some new tricks up their sleeve for the lp. sadly not.

guys this album is so good

^would agree w/ this if not for hot chip
This album is great. I just can't wait to hear the mastered version.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
so you think is an early leak?
the only two weak songs on here are 'knee deep at atp' and 'this is how you spell hahaha'. everything else is great. love how it's sequenced, too.

worst album cover of 2008 for sure
― Zeno, Thursday, 17 January 2008 09:46 (sixteen years ago) link
"I cherish, in fondness, the day before I met you" is such a great line.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 17 January 2008 14:48 (sixteen years ago) link
My favourite on the album is "If you catch me with my hands in the till, I promise SUGAH I wasn't trying to steal"
― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 17 January 2008 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
this is the best album of 1998

― braveclub, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 10:36 (sixteen years ago) link
The correct line is 'god help us if there's a war' but 'makes me want to kill' will do.

liveblog: im listening to 'We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives' on youtube.
the male vocalist in the verses... ah, are all their songs like this?
except for him, it isn't noticeably worse than other indie records that i have heard.
oh shit though the male vocalist just came back in. gotdamn, dom.

They went 'on hiatus' so N@t could get rid of the people she didn't like. Now they are back.
― Raw Patrick, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 11:25 (sixteen years ago) link
ok, 'You! Me! Dancing!'
intro much? but at least no vocals yet. i can imagine this going down well in an indie nightclub -- not a recommendation. this is like that curtis thread about bands who use loads of instruments at once -- that tinkly thing yo.
ok fuck this the vocalist is just.... dnw dnw dnw

Also you are all missing the most important factor which is that THE DUDE SINGER LOOKS LIKE GRAHAM.

A 9/10? With the reviewer fighting the impulse to give it 10/10?
What am I missing with this band?
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 18 April 2008 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean, it's only one review, obv., but the disc is getting pretty good reviews overall, and I just don't get it.

It's you! It's me! And there's dancing!
Yes it's twee indie rock/pop but it's done very well. Love this song.

I've not heard a single note by them. I think I like them because Swells doesn't, though. Although I do kind of agree with his statement of Doran's idea - basically "it's 2008 and the world's ending, why are you dressing as a 7-year-old", only I think it ought to be "It's 2008 and the world's ending, we might as well dress as 7-year-olds".
Do it, Dom.
― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 18 August 2008 11:42 (fifteen years ago) link
I wonder if Swells/Doran is getting one after Swells slagged off a DiS sponsored tour?

the low and in medias res would have been welcome but honestly the best show i've ever been to.also great was the scalper outside kentish town tube station trying to sell tickets to the peasants
― devvvine, Sunday, 14 October 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
I was impressed the show was a big enough deal to have bootleg t-shirts on sale outside.
We were discussing it after and despite playing for about 2.5 hrs there were still at least half a dozen big tunes left out.
