i dont get whats so bad about this. unfortunately people that are calling this unfinished should be disappointed when they do they here the finished version. listen to the backup vocals, the girls singin near the end, this is fairly produced, i wouldnt expect the final version to change that much...if at all.

turn up the bass and the song is great. lets face it, the rapture are not an incredible band, they produce songs that are played at alternative dance clubs, and this is more than enough for their audience.

plus theres no jennings...so its a poor indication of the record.

It's a brilliant song. Fuck you backlash-hipsters

What track is Daddy Yankee going to be on again?

― Confounded (Confounded), Monday, 24 April 2006 15:00 (twenty years ago)

i think they should do a single with nelly

― lf (lfam), Monday, 24 April 2006 19:41 (twenty years ago)

i think they should do one w/tim mcgraw

what's the deal with that sample that was on the ysi thread that someone ripped off a video? cuz that shit was solid.

― Jimmy_tango, Monday, 24 April 2006 20:09 (twenty years ago)

thanks jimmy. if you're talking about the edit i did of it, i mean. if not, then i'm a jerk. the deal with it = made a full track out of about 45 seconds or whatever it was that was up there.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 24 April 2006 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Do you still have that somewhere? I think there's a lot to be said for extrapolating promo clips into full songs, to the point where they might beat the real ones! I remember a friend downloading that No Doubt promo years ago only to figure out that every song was the hook looped. Then we found out it was better than the album.

there's a stream up.

it's pretty tight. i believe matty safer thought so too?

from Ewan Pearsons enthusiasm blog:
"So, a couple of weeks ago an unfinished monitor mix of this somehow made it onto the internet, so I guess i can talk about it here. (BTW it's not a lot of fun having your efforts pored over in public before they're even finished. At least people are interested you might say, but see how you'd like me coming into your place of work, finding something you'd been slaving over for ages and showing it all round the world before it was ready. Hurrumph.)

Likely first fruit of the new album co-produced by me and Paul Epworth (plus a few tracks from some chancer called Dangermouse). Matty Safer bemoans joyless hipster party culture over an irresistable dancefloor backing. Altogether now "People don't dance no more; they just stand there like this. They cross their arms and stare you down and drink and moan and dis." Much much more to come on the LP. Hopefully the drives are being guarded by burly and humourless sentries."

hopefully W.A.Y.U.H is fixed up around that little un-necassary break down 2.15 in. "tick, tick, tick...." it just don't work.

meh. This album will kick arse whether there's a backlash or not

yeah, that's what i meant. thanks for it. i still like it a lot....so it was up on the rapture's site as a promo clip? i had for some reason thought it was taken out of a live perforance/video or something.

i think i heard that gabe made it out of some stuff that they had recorded, he made a short sample of three different songs and set them to footage of the crash mansion show. i got the impression that they maybe liked the edit, but were maybe slightly annoyed that it was the first thing that some people were hearing from the record. i haven't gotten any lawyer's angry letters or anything, so if somebody does want it just drop me a line to this email.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 24 April 2006 23:12 (twenty years ago)

Talking Heads "Cities" fading in and out sounds just like it, cowbell gets put to great use, its seriously a great dance pop song. needed a couple listens to get used to the chorus at the end, but seriously its just a damn fun song.

― Charley, Wednesday, 26 April 2006 05:32 (twenty years ago)

This needs to be a breakthrough hit simply to see how MTV works around the "cunt" line. Also because it's insanely catchy and awesome, but yeah, that.

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

it's not as "RAW" sounding as their previous stuff but i think it sounds pretty awesome... love the build up at the beginning! love it! i'm REALLY looking forward to the rest of the album... dancing to this stuff at the bar is refreshing.

Wow, that is bad.

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Sunday, 2 July 2006 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

well i met a chap on the street who was looking for oceansize and i was sitting on a flightcase looking lost and he said he was from teh Rapture and that was cool.

― beeble (beeble), Sunday, 2 July 2006 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

It's...OK. It'll grow like all their stuff does with repeated listening. And I don't believe anyone who says they don't dig the horn-line during the chorus...

HI LET'S PASS FINAL JUDGEMENT ON A BAND FROM AN UNFINISHED LEAK

http://www.rootarcana.com/images/anal_leakage.gif

― trees (treesessplode), Sunday, 2 July 2006 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

this is really good.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 2 July 2006 22:15 (nineteen years ago)

really good as in really good to anally leak to?

― trees (treesessplode), Sunday, 2 July 2006 22:43 (nineteen years ago)

The verses are shit shit shit, but the hook is awesome.

one month passes...

Okay, so Pieces of the People We Love has finally leaked, and I think in its final form. Here is the tracklist:

01 Don Gon Do It
02 Pieces of the People We Love
03 Get Myself Into It
04 First Gear
05 The Devil
06 Whoo! Alright-Yeah...Uh Huh [this is what WAYUH stood for, for those still in the dark]
07 Callin Me
08 Down for So Long
09 The Sound
10 Live in Sunshine

I'm listening now, still on first listen, and I understand what people meant when they said it sounds unfinished. At least on computer speakers (I know, I know...), it sounds really tinny. I was the bass was mixed louder. If I remember correctly, that was what was great about "House of Jealous Lovers" and a lot of Echoes, actually.... really beefy bass lines that, like someone said above, grabbed you by the throat (or ankles, as the case may be) and dictated you dance.

But yes, the lyrics are truly awful.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 02:40 (nineteen years ago)

Icky yucky. I'm now convinced the greatness of "House of..." and "Olio" had everything to do with DFA and nothing to do with The Rapture themselves. Echoes pushed the limits of my good will, but Pieces of the People We Love is out and out trashola.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 02:50 (nineteen years ago)

hi dere i like gogogoairheart

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 03:01 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's got some pretty great tracks after 4 or 5 listens. I was initially disappointed, but it grew on me. It sounds good with headphones.

― hippo eats dwarlf (lfam), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

Never mind. I just got the new Melvins album and it slaughtered everything I've heard in recent memory.

― Harpal (harpal), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 05:33 (nineteen years ago)

the serge santiago remix is bomb... i foind it here.

a dub version with less vocals would be great.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 06:18 (nineteen years ago)

the synths on sail away are awesome. and the little in a silent way tribute at the end is cool too

― mizzell, Thursday, 18 August 2011 21:48 (fourteen years ago)

just a few tracks in, but this album is way, way better than i thought it would be.

― Clay, Saturday, 20 August 2011 04:49 (fourteen years ago)

this album is way, way better than i thought it would be.

oh, this exists?

― my brother's a basedgod (The Reverend), Saturday, 20 August 2011 08:11 (fourteen years ago)

heard two songs off this & both were excellent

― J0rdan S., Saturday, 20 August 2011 08:23 (fourteen years ago)

The singing is rather awful on a couple of tracks.

― a 'catch-all', almost humorous, 'Jeez' quality (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 20 August 2011 12:10 (fourteen years ago)

oh, so it's a Rapture album

― Rob Based and DJ EZ God (DJP), Saturday, 20 August 2011 14:50 (fourteen years ago)

I would never have guessed there might be awful singing on songs by the Rapture.

― my brother's a basedgod (The Reverend), Saturday, 20 August 2011 20:13 (fourteen years ago)

Well, I'd never singing on a Rapture record -- they thankfully shouted a lot.

*never heard

bring back the ratpure

― jed_, Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

Man, the Dusted review of this is quashing a lot of my excitement:

The rest of the album, however, is uniformly mediocre, except where it’s terrible.
