I feel like they mitigate their latent Maroon 5-ness.

true heirs to maroon 5 is a worthy title imo

I compared them to Adam & the Marooned too.

If this album wins the EOY poll it's gonna break ILM like Trump and the GOP.

i mean it's early but it'll almost certainly be my aoty

lol i don't think this has much hope of #1 in our EOY what with the KING album existing and a beyoncé album on the way
― art baengels (monotony), Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:41 (eight years ago) link
this is easily one of the best albums i've heard in the last 5 years
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:24 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I think KING could probably overtake it. Also Blackstar as well.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:29 (eight years ago) link
Or maybe it will just go to HAIM again.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:33 (eight years ago) link
I love the king album but this gets the edge over the king album to me
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Sunday, 6 March 2016 05:01 (eight years ago) link
KING is Marco Rubio. Beyonce is Jeb Bush. Haim is Ted Cruz.

delet this

This is a great album in the best sense. I tried cherrypicking some songs for a playlist to prune the length and that didn't work at all, it's been really thought through and you need it all for the full experience.

I've been persuaded, slightly against my better judgment, to go to another show in Manchester next week by their publicist.

"The Sound" is top ten on the rock songs chart but still nowhere to be found in the hot 100 (U.S.).
― timellison, Thursday, 10 March 2016 08:30 (eight years ago) link
it's #3 on the bubbling under chart this week

surprisingly, this is well good yeah
― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:20 (eight years ago) link
approx. 3500x better than album 1
album 1 did not have an ambient mariachi interlude called 'please be naked' for one

*waits patiently for lj to get to the title track*

what makes them a boy band?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 March 2016 13:57 (eight years ago) link
They have too many young female fans, obviously.

I want to poll the new album so bad but it's too sooooooon
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Sunday, 20 March 2016 04:35 (eight years ago) link
bought the album on vinyl and digging it, but it didn't come w/ a download code. before i write 'em to ask for one, just wanted to make sure others' did ... or didn't. thx!
― alpine static, Monday, 11 April 2016 14:35 (eight years ago) link
I recently got the first album new and that didn't come with one. I'm waiting to try and find a copy below $40 before I get the new album. If it doesn't come with a code that is absolutely ridiculous considering the price.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 11 April 2016 14:40 (eight years ago) link
i bought the latest album on vinyl and it came with a download code!

This is a joke, right? You're not seriously telling me that the vinyl costs four times as much as the CD?
― the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Monday, 11 April 2016 16:51 (eight years ago) link
This is extremely common nowadays.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 11 April 2016 16:56 (eight years ago) link
Unfortunately I'm not joking about that price. Most modern records it's usually $12 for the CD and around $20 for the vinyl which seems reasonable to me. There are exceptions and this is sadly one of them.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 11 April 2016 17:16 (eight years ago) link
from my very cursory investigation it looked like they actually tried to make the packaging for the i like it when you sleep vinyl actually worth the $40 where a lot of times it's just a record in a sleeve with a single piece of paper
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 April 2016 18:21 (eight years ago) link
and at least it's legit double album length, not like the recent trend of distributing albums that barely break 40 mins over four sides of vinyl.
