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.

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.

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

― 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.

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)

found, no less.

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.

^ this

― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 20 August 2011 05:16 (fourteen years ago)

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.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 1 September 2011 13:31 (fourteen years ago)

This is dull, too much songwriting, not enough groove.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 1 September 2011 13:35 (fourteen years ago)

man, the chorus on "how deep is your love" just makes me think of sisqo

― hardcore oatmeal (Jordan), Thursday, 1 September 2011 14:58 (fourteen years ago)

The second side is terrific, especially "How Deep is Your Love" (not a Bee Gees cover), but the first half drags.

― a 'catch-all', almost humorous, 'Jeez' quality (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 1 September 2011 15:00 (fourteen years ago)

"how deep is your love" is great even if its a weak attempt to re-capture "echoes" era agngsty anthems

i've had "sail away" on loop all day. its such an incredible opener that it took two or three listens before i realized i didn't much care for the 3 or 4 songs that followed it.

"it takes time to be a man" is a nice closer, too.

otherwise i'm not crazy into it, but i can keep the whole album on without skipping any tracks. def my most listened to album in the last two weeks, regardless.

― spitting, shirtless man in lawyer's wig (haitch), Friday, 9 September 2011 14:32 (fourteen years ago)

playing this, on "Never Die Again"

wtf happened to the singing

I LIKED the yelpy tremulous Robert Smith-esque wailing, what is this smoothed out boring midrange shit

like, this isn't BAD, but it also isn't what I want from The Rapture

― Tal Berkowitz - Vaccine advocate (DJP), Friday, 9 September 2011 14:36 (fourteen years ago)

this album is so much damn fun; I liked the Holy Ghost album a bunch but this is basically a fifty-times-better version of that.

― punk rock hyrax (jamescobo), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:31 (fourteen years ago)

I LIKED the yelpy tremulous Robert Smith-esque wailing, what is this smoothed out boring midrange shit

agreed. the new style singing works great on How Deep Is Your Love but over the course of the album I'm not feeling it.

weak attempt to re-capture "echoes" era agngsty anthems

this song doesn't really sound like anything off Echoes to me but it's def. the best track on here

― dmr, Friday, 9 September 2011 17:41 (fourteen years ago)

The singing is rather awful on a couple of tracks.

― Anakin Ska Walker (AKA Skarth Vader) (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 9 September 2011 17:42 (fourteen years ago)

ive never thought to myself before this record "hey that guy from the Rapture sure does a good job of singing"

―  (gr8080), Friday, 9 September 2011 18:47 (fourteen years ago)

This is mostly p boring, but "Never Die Again" and the single are jams.

― skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Saturday, 17 September 2011 22:33 (fourteen years ago)

Last song is p good too.

― skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Saturday, 17 September 2011 22:38 (fourteen years ago)

seven months pass...

Listening to this album again, and looking over the lyrics... it's about him finding Jesus, right?
