really late to the game on this one, it's nice, although a little forgettable.

Oh I can't wait to hear Best Coast go "emo," aided by Jon fucking Brion. Jesus fucking christ.

do you really hate jon brion or?
i don't know that "some punk girl sings shangri-la-esque guitar jams with harmonies & ~guitar effects~!" would have sounded so alluring. one of the nicest parts of her record was our deal; i am into some slow jams.

Maybe I'm just a philistine but I can't tell how this new album is going to sound any different from the previous one
― Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Monday, 9 January 2012 14:04 (twelve years ago) link
well, if i had to venture a guess, i'd say that it will sound different because jon brion will find a way to put some dorky keyboard bullshit all over it.

I totally didn't recognize that the dude was Brion's longtime tech/roadie. Different haircut, I guess.

Anticipation for this record is bringing out my inner Mike Love. I don't want them to fuck with the formula. There better be plenty of cat and weed references and at least 8 combined minutes of OOOOOOOOO.

The title track is now available for free download. The California tourism board will be very pleased. I'm going to have to give it a few more listens, but I'm not happy about no cats/pot/ooooooooos. The production makes it very easy to understand the lyrics, which could be a problem.

I think the band's alright but reading this makes me realize I pretty much have the exact same thought every time I give them a listen.

wasn't into the first single, maybe I'll check out the second if they release a video. liked their first few 7" a lot.

Can we talk about this record? All my worst fears are confirmed. No pot, cats or ooooooh.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 18 May 2012 02:52 (eleven years ago) link
i really dislike the sound, it's bizarrely muffled and tubby with harsh resonances all at the same time
makes it difficult to focus on the not-bad songs, despite their cat-free qualities
― mexican sumner (electricsound), Friday, 18 May 2012 02:55 (eleven years ago) link
I actually kind of like this new one, I was subjected to it while browsing at a bookstore. Her lyrics are still awful and rhymes painfully obvious, but I think Brion's production kind of fits it. I don't love it or anything, but it wasn't as terrible as everyone is trying to claim.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 18 May 2012 03:06 (eleven years ago) link
is this the record that will finally let everyone know how terrible jon brion is?
i mean the songs are no great shakes but my god

i don't really have deep evidence to back this up but everything i've ever knowingly heard that he's been involved with has sounded really, really bad

Almost afraid to stick my head over the trench here but Bachelor No. 1 was great and that was a Brion joint i think.

The production isn't helping her at all. Plus She has a tendency to draw out the last syllable of every line which makes the banality of her rhymes even more glaring.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 18 May 2012 09:55 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i wanna withdraw whatever "maybe it'll be good! jon brion isn't so bad is he?" remarks i made earlier itt. she should do super early-eps fuzzy stuff or should go all out & do the full band fleetwood mac thing that some of these songs want. it sounds so clean and terrible, with its little jaunty indie movie drumming.
some of the songs are okay though.

I was going to pick it up earlier this week, but the shop had the new Sinead on LP so I grabbed that instead, trusting my gut vs my hipster elbow..anyway I think I can safely say I've already clocked more hours with "How About I Be Me (And You Be You)" then I have clocked with any album with the words Coast, Best, Bells or Broken in it...funny thing about Sinead is she can still write a smoking tune despite being obviously mad as shit...I know, this is not a Sinead Mad as Shit or Still Writing Bangers thread, but it is all I got....NP: Dr Dee
