I'm really enjoying this. It's kind of sloppy and unfocused but the debut was also kind of one-note and overconsistent. "Falling" is as good or better than anything they have ever done.

yeah "falling" is my favorite one on this, I also like "leonora," "answers come in dreams," the title track... the songs are a lot less structured than on the debut and do seem sort of aimless at first but it's definitely not a bad album.

Very Good but not Great.
But still, screw the haters.

It doesn't really work as an album, but there are some fantastic tracks here. My personal favourite is "Blue Songs" even if it's the least typically H&LA cut here. "My House" is the worst imo.

more like zz cover, amirite?
lol i like it
― plax (ico), Wednesday, 2 March 2011 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link
really like the Jessica 6 track - much better than Kim-Ann Foxman's imo. i only recently heard the 'Blind' b-side 'Shadows' and love it, bit of a 'Deeper And Deeper' vibe here and there

Both of those are good and better than anything on the new H&LA.

luv gay house; they better than indie tho.
xx cover roxx!!! but needs extended version.
― spacemindy, Thursday, 3 March 2011 05:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Listening for the first time in a couple of months, and this is better than I remembered. If nothing else, "Painted Eyes" and "Leonora" are both excellent.

Weirdly, I never noticed that "Boy Blue" cuts out 1:45 into the song on the version I have. If anyone wants to e-mail me the full mp3, I'd appreciate it!
― jaymc, Saturday, 14 May 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link
don't have mp3, but this album is great!!
what's the deal with no release in north america??

John Grant is an inspired vocalist choice.

No one's talking about it, eh? Too bad. I love it.

I don't have much to say about it but I am feeling it too. Still not as good as the debut but the John Grant tracks and "Do You Feel The Same" are some of the best stuff that he's (collectively?) done. The lyrics of "My Offence" feel a bit clunky but it stands out and I appreciate the sentiment if not the execution.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 23:37 (nine years ago) link
Kinda front-loaded but yeah, love it.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:17 (nine years ago) link
Man I need to give this another chance. I thought the second album was generally better than it was given credit for being -- and was surprised at the positive notices for the new one, which barely left an impression.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 04:19 (nine years ago) link
I have really enjoyed the new one while listening but it has a very generic feel. The beats and overall sound are repetitive over the course of an album.
― skip, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
New track. Gloomy indie is not what I expected.. Album coming in June.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmbDJFHqpoQ
