this album is beautiful.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

this album is awesome

― prince rupert, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

i like this album at least as much as anything i heard last year.

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 03:32 (eighteen years ago) link

wtf does that mean?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 04:21 (eighteen years ago) link

'be quiet mt. heart attack' reminds me a LOT of my bloody valentine, circa 'isn't anything' era. specifically -- 'no more sorry'. both songs also have vocals that could almost be considered pretty if they weren't so creepy.

i know it was said upthread, but this album is Flowers of Romance pt II

― team jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 06:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Man, this is one of those promos that I wish we'd gotten at the mag. It's one of the few new albums I'm excited about, though I'm at least a bit wary. The Drum and Can song didn't excite me all that much, but I really liked their last album a lot (especially after I felt pretty damn burned by buying their first album, which I thought was really boring).

-- cutty (holle...), February 8th, 2006.

of that albums that were released last year, that is.

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 02:52 (eighteen years ago) link

still doesn't make a bit of sense

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 03:15 (eighteen years ago) link

no, i'm afraid you're wrong. it means, in other words, this album ranks with what are in my opinion the best albums of last year. except i didn't want to say it that way because i think that sounds too confident/permanent. i wanted to leave room for albums i hadn't heard, as well as for my changing opinions, etc.

i'm not sure why that had to be spelled out.

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 03:56 (eighteen years ago) link

you said anything you "heard last year," not anything you heard last year that you considered to be one of the best albums of last year.

i heard tons of shit music last year and for me to say that i like the new liars at least as much as anything i "heard last year" doesn't mean a fucking thing to anybody.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:02 (eighteen years ago) link

only a moron wouldn't assume i am referring to the best of what i heard last year. or a prick who wants to nag people posting on a music message board for being slightly vague.

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:09 (eighteen years ago) link

"slightly" vague. slightly fucking retarded.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Jesus, Cutty, take it easy.

― T/S: Pinks/Oki Dog/Scoobys/Tail o' the Pup (Bent Over at the Arclight), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:16 (eighteen years ago) link

does anyone want to save this thread?

i feel bad for helping this guy ruin it.

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:18 (eighteen years ago) link

"at least" and "as much as anything I heard" makes some sense.
i.e. this album >= the sum of "anything I heard"

you're both morans though

Seriously, what's with Liars moving out of the country and doing weirdo festivals and shit? I'm never going to see these fuckers in the midwest, am I?

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

i just wanted some clarification and "this guy" calls me a moron.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:20 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, and a prick.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Jesus, Cutty, take it easy.?

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:22 (eighteen years ago) link

you were obviously the aggressor up until that point in the argument, and you're obviously both a prick and a moron. i don't know why i'm still acknowledging you...

so what's everyone's favorite track on this album?

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:26 (eighteen years ago) link

you were obviously the aggressor up until that point in the argument and you were being really obnoxious. i don't know why i'm still acknowledging you...

so what's everyone's favorite track on this album?

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:27 (eighteen years ago) link

nice one!

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:28 (eighteen years ago) link

cutty ftw

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:37 (eighteen years ago) link

you fought well brother. let us listen to "drum's not dead," together.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:42 (eighteen years ago) link

phew

― Matt McEver (mattmc387), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:45 (eighteen years ago) link

"Jesus, Cutty, take it easy.?
-- cutty (holle...), February 16th, 2006."

Yeah take it easy! I'm not defending Prick-n-a-Moron Jones or anything, but god almighty, seemed like you came pretty strong with the "WTF does that mean?" shit. I think everyone knows what he meant.

― T/S: Pinks/Oki Dog/Scoobys/Tail o' the Pup (Bent Over at the Arclight), Thursday, 16 February 2006 04:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Shit, the feud ended and I had to take another sip.

― inert false cat (sleep), Thursday, 16 February 2006 06:19 (eighteen years ago) link

for all the animal collective comparisons there's at least one pretty solid example: liars' "drum gets a glimpse" vs. ac's "the softest voice"

― inert false cat (sleep), Thursday, 16 February 2006 06:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i got a promo of this yesterday. i am very excited. if i had even so much as a spare nanosecond, i'd have started listening to it already. hopefully today.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 16 February 2006 09:28 (eighteen years ago) link

some promo. it appears to have been released already.

however, it also appears to be fucking awesome. it's section 25 for the 21st century ;)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 16 February 2006 15:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Fiscal year or calendar year? STATE YOUR TERMS.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 16 February 2006 15:48 (eighteen years ago) link

WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

― team jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 16 February 2006 17:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Does "last year" last from now to last 365 days ago, or do you count the last calendar year from January to December? THESE ARE IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS FOR RECOLLECTING THE SUBJECTIVE, RELATIVE WORTH OF MUSIC VIS A VIS OTHER RECORDINGS RELEASED AND CONSUMED AROUND THE SAME TIME!!!

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 16 February 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

exactly

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 16 February 2006 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

GET HIP, PEOPLE

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 16 February 2006 19:18 (eighteen years ago) link

First impression is that this is an amazing album.

The DVD with it, which I initially assumed to contain videos for three different songs, actually contains three different videos for the entire album!

Is Dadaismus here? I really think he'd love this!

― team jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

your calendar is out of date, homes.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

did this come out today in the US?

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I put this on today in HMV, got complaints from two customers by the time it got to the second track (the usual, "this isn't music, it sounds like a factory") before the manager came down and turned it off. I'll try again tomorrow.

― dmun drive-in (dmun), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:28 (eighteen years ago) link

on reflection, after four listens, i can confidently say that this album (which i think might come out next monday: apologies) is absolutely fucking mindblowing and i refer you all to what i said about mrs fiendish's hat on the M83 thread last year.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:28 (eighteen years ago) link

stylus gave it a 5 out of 5

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean tinymixtapes.com gave it a 5 out of 5

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:23 (eighteen years ago) link

This is not of the good.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I like this record, but not as much as Drowned .... maybe it's just the repetition of the titles but I feel like it's three or four good songs done three or four times each, instead of twelve songs. If that makes any sense. There's nothing as crazy out-there as "Broken Witch" or "Room on the Broom" ....

I do kinda appreciate that they made room for prettiness on this one. The last track is real sweet.

― Renard (Renard), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 05:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I think my favorite track is "Drum and the Uncomfortable Can." All that buzzing and humming and reverberating coils.

Haven't watched the movies yet.

― Renard (Renard), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 05:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Cutty, I needed the same clarification, btw.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 05:31 (eighteen years ago) link

This is really horrible.
