official i love music thread for AEROPLANE

It hasn't leaked but there are promo copies doing the rounds.

I've heard the phrase "Rocky Horror Show" applied to the album, so am in the process of revising my expectations downwards.

that's how i figure someone would describe the mungolian jetset album, but as much as i dig that album.......

Album has finally leaked...thoughts later today

sounds really quite terrible so far.

yep

:(

Is this the real thing? Maybe someone made a fake like they did a few years ago with the Daft Punk album. (Sadly, I know it's not true.)

what's with the waling guitar over stuff?

i had hoped "Without Lies" would be the nadir but another vocal track has just come on that is possibly even worse. i feel quite embarrassed to be listening to it. maybe it's supposed to be stupid but i'm not sure if that can excuse it.

Most of this sounds like demos the Scissor Sisters would've thrown in the dumpster behind the studio. Maybe the Aeroplane guys were waiting back there and grabbed them.

ok this is a car crash.

more like a plane crash

!

what i'm listening to right now sounds like an elaborate prank.

sorry, i really don't want to ruin it for anyone else but i actually just lol'd at some abomination called "Fish in the Sky".

that title alone cannot prepare you.

ysi?

hype hype

why have they done this. :(

If this is the real version, omens weren't exactly good with the declining quality of mixes and 'We Can't Fly' the song.

last.fm indicates there is more than one Aeroplane. Maybe this is one of the others masqerading as the Aeroplane we know?

For real, this album is not just a disappointment, but a legitimate contender for WORST OF THE YEAR.

WTF

yeah. Can't think of a worse song this year than 'I Don't Feel', and 'Without Lies' is narrowly behind.

guys i need to hear this

i've never been so scared to add something to my library.

I am now going to wash out my ears by listening to Too Hard on repeat for five days.

diff band, guys

holy cow maybe not!! ouch

No, it's definitely the same one we know: http://www.myspace.com/aeroplanemusiclove

Although, I'm going to get to NOT know them very quickly now.

what in the hell is this? some of it sounds nice in a 70s disc/ELO type of feeling but then again, some of this sounds really awful.

this is hilariously awful but that's.... something.

i kind of feel like i want to listen to it again just in case i'm missing the point but i'm pretty sure i'm not. Without Lies, Good Riddance, Fish In The Sky and We Fall Over are genuinely fascinating in their awfulness but I Don't Feel is just an unlistenable racket. if you're someone like me who listens quite closely to lyrics then i recommend a stiff drink before you hear this. it's a genuinely bizarre record.

how many times can i say "genuinely"?! thank god i don't write songs.

what i'm listening to right now sounds like an elaborate prank.

This about sums it up. I could see about half the tracks growing on me and the rest...either it's brilliantly forward-thinking or straight up shitty.

scared to hear this... they were one of my favorite things a year and a half ago or so...

I liked the Jim Steinman-inspired bridge in We Can't Fly, but I didn't expect the whole album to be an homage to him.

major major major lols at "Good Riddance"

music for Jared Hess soundtracks.

oh god it opens with that 'electric piano' patch that's on every cheapo keyboard

this is gonna be monstrous in some way or another

this is all a big running inside joke right guys? haha can't wait till we actually hear the record and have a good laugh about it

maybe this explains why one of them abandoned ship.

i have been meaning to check these dudes out since forever and today is the first time i've actually openned this thread lol

this is all a big running inside joke right guys?

I wish :(

someone should have sat them down in the initial stages and told them that they can't write songs and that they should forget that and put ten good tracks together. i wonder who wrote the lyrics, them or the singers? because they have to be written by someone who can't speak english well.

having said that i enjoyed boggling at this.

I might listen to this one or two more times in December, when I have to craft some kind of paragraph to award it WORST ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

did you take any joy at all from it? because i laughed two or three times.

I probably just cringed at the things you laughed at. It's why I have a hard time watching embarrassing situations in tv shows like the original BBC The Office or whatever. I hate feeling that uncomfortable, and this album is that feeling magnified.

lol guys stop ur beating this joke to death

I got an email last week saying this was beyond terrible, so maybe it's not a joke :/

i know, i'll shut up until more people have heard it.

Where are you people getting this alleged abomination from anyway?
