Pass along the word that we, the listening public, will be very forgiving! We just want to hear it.

Nice to know that Johnny Fever's idea of being forgiving is calling something fucking garbage.

lol @ me

i listened to since i left you awhile back for the first time in forever and did not like it v much.

Right, when's the next All Seeing I album coming?

For the sample based music I think The Books and Panda Bear's Person Pitch are more interesting than their debut and made something better out of the style.

My face right now: o_O

What you don't like the Books!?Madvillain or Monster Rally, then? Iirc most of their music is sample based too.

you seem to have confused "uses samples in their music" with "sounds like The Avalanches"

the books are boring and have back guitar tones

panda bear opens his mouth and his records are just a needlessly massive layered cake of sound

avalanches is endtroducing on e, in other words, best music ever.

bad guitar tones

all sample based music is the same

show me books/panda bear songs that sound like "electricity" please

The Books weren't just boring. They were actively tedious.

what is even the point of comparing "sample based" albums if they have nothing else in common?

You can hear a snippet of the beautiful "Subways" here at 1:01:30

Just realized what Frankie Sinatra reminds me of:
https://youtu.be/CwCWvn60L3w

Wow, I hadn't thought about that song in years.

https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01GIBSU6A/

there's track previews here and they sound much more like what you'd expect from a new Avalanches album than Frankie Sinatra

those previews sound incredibly promising.. stoked.

Yeah, I'm less grouchy now.

Feels more overtly Psychedelic than Since I Left You did. I'm reminded of Mid 00s Caribou on some of those snippets.

Frankie Sinatra will be the Good Times off this album then.

that link is down :(

Yeah, I couldn't access it either. I'm relieved to see those samples are getting a positive reaction. Subways is the kind of Avalanches I was hoping for.

Literally all of the 19-20 other non-"Frankie Sinatra" tracks sounded extremely dreamy - not just the alleged saviour song "Subways" - so the single seems (thankfully) to have been a red herring.

The "Good Times" comparison doesn't really work for me as it's the only thing I did enjoy on the Jamie xx record whereas this looks like it will be the reverse.

basically sounded like since I left you part two, imo. Really looking forward to this.

A few listens into the clip and "Subways" already sounds like it's the most beautiful song ever made.

I'm as leery of getting excited about clips as I was dismissing new Avalanches off of one song, tbh. Everyone chill

no

haha those clips did sound good tho... apart from the biz markie track

haha I kinda liked that Biz Markie was just rapping about, like, eating cereal

not for the first time he has done this !

lol at "visa issues" derailing their live show plans "an hour before showtime" in another hemisphere

should have had MasterCard in case.

Lovely.

Also, if you're familiar with the Avalanches Breezeblock and other DJ sets, then "Frankie Sinatra" isn't all that surprising (-ly bad or good)

I must have listened to "Colours" a dozen times now in 24 hours. Keeps on giving. Approximates a Ghost Box sort of vibe in places. Really curious what some of those borrowed elements are.

Full version is a little lazy. Still, that a hook!

*what

I don't know if any of you have heard some of the other tracks from this album but it's pretty clear that "Frankie Sinatra" is the dud on this thing and it's actually the album of the summer. In fact Frankie now elevated when considered as part of the whole. The opening song "Because I'm Me" just starts this whole thing off as one giant celebration and it never stops.

The Noisy Eater is the other dud on the album for me. Like Frankie Sinatra it's too close to an annoying Gorillaz outtake. The rest of it is pretty nice but it's missing something. It doesn't quite flow as brilliantly as Since I Left You did.

did this leak

as far as i can tell people have pieced together nearly all of it in terrible quality from russian radio station rips

I'm not sure if it leaked. I got a copy for review yesterday.

according to has it leaked dot com it has not leaked

streaming on Apple Music in Australia apparently

leaked

'pretty nice but doesn't quite flow as brilliantly as Since I Left You' otm

Not even sure what I was expecting but this is pretty much a dud for me. Countless other things I'd rather listen to atm

Loving this album.

more definitive pronouncements after one listen, please
