I was not into that brand new lp, but I've never been a fan

xxp - Fleet Foxes is what the singer's voice reminds me of.

i really liked the video for The Gold
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 27 August 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link
A weird album for me. I love the first three tracks and the last four, but the four in the middle don't do anything. It's like a big black hole in the middle of the album. I'll keep trying, maybe they'll grow on me.

the silence and the grocery are just massive
― just another (diamonddave85), Thursday, 14 September 2017 13:20 (six years ago) link
i have decided the best moment is in "the grocery" is when he sings "this is the onlyyyy. WAYYYYY to go"
this, with 'there is nothing you keep, there is only a reflection' in the silence being a close 2nd

"lead, sd" is prob my favorite song of the year
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
yeah
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 20:27 (six years ago) link
some of the guitar tones and the more circuitous playing on this record remind me of later red house painters/early sun kil moon
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
I can hear that
― Spottie, Wednesday, 20 September 2017 04:56 (six years ago) link
fun show tonight, their songs are super singalongable
tigers jaw was dope too
― just another (diamonddave85), Monday, 25 September 2017 04:15 (six years ago) link
the tinny, trebly guitars/synths(?) that perk up in "Lead, SD" really remind me of the Wrens

I just keep going back to the opening track.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 21:22 (six years ago) link
this record is a fuckin classic, top to bottom
and it keeps getting better

oh nice, i just re-listened to this album two days ago. holds up!
― marcos smart (Spottie), Thursday, 10 January 2019 20:48 (five years ago) link
i'm relistening to it now and yeah! it's so beautiful
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 10 January 2019 21:37 (five years ago) link
What's up with all those lyric and chord sheets?
― ArchCarrier, Thursday, 10 January 2019 21:48 (five years ago) link
i think the first part of the video is from when they actually recorded it for the album
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 10 January 2019 21:52 (five years ago) link
just wanted to alert ppl who like this album to the bad books (collaboration between andy hull and kevin devine) record that's coming out soon, and also to this gorgeous new song

― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 7 June 2019 19:47 (four years ago) link
the other new songs have been cool too
― Mordy, Friday, 7 June 2019 20:07 (four years ago) link
the bad books album is INCREDIBLE
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 16 June 2019 13:25 (four years ago) link
lol I mentioned it again on the emo thread. it's very good. the penultimate track is especially gorgeous.
― Simon H., Sunday, 16 June 2019 13:47 (four years ago) link
it's the first bad books record on which their songwriting voices feel really united imo. i was a little wary of the whole album being acoustic guitar-based but the arrangements are all such slow gorgeous aches it's hard to complain. also this is a lyrical peak for both of them
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 16 June 2019 13:53 (four years ago) link
I agree with all that. "Army" does lay it on a bit thick but it feels more or less earned by then
― Simon H., Sunday, 16 June 2019 14:15 (four years ago) link
"army" has absolutely ruined my life

I'm guessing from this that catherine marks will be handling their new stuff as well? a very good thing
― stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Monday, 15 February 2021 06:43 (three years ago) link
The Million Masks of God out 04/30, single's real good

Hull worked on the new Foxing record, right? there's some convergence going on. not complaining
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 26 March 2021 04:40 (three years ago) link
these new songs...I know we say this all the time but these guys should be huge
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 26 March 2021 22:56 (three years ago) link
you know what song stopped me dead in my tracks the other day, was "you wouldn't have to ask" by bad books
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-KcNBY83CI
anyway I am still unbelievably stoked for this album
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Monday, 12 April 2021 18:18 (two years ago) link
god "you wouldn't have to ask" is the best fucking song ever written
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 12 April 2021 19:05 (two years ago) link
that great
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Monday, 12 April 2021 19:11 (two years ago) link
has anyone tried mixing "keel timing" and "bed head" into one song? because I do this in my head all the time
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Sunday, 25 April 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link
surprising no one, i discovered today that i've been really underrating simple math since it came out
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 25 April 2021 21:20 (two years ago) link
my second fave after black mile now
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 25 April 2021 21:25 (two years ago) link
MA at their most MOR? not that I'm complaining. I get pearl jam vibes on occasionI pretend it starts with "pensacola" tbh, first songs feel like a throat clearing to me

holy cow "inaudible" sounds incredible
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 April 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
heard a new song on the radio, was really good
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 29 April 2021 13:45 (two years ago) link
oh wow the second half is A Moon Shaped Pool-core emo, here for this
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 April 2021 14:00 (two years ago) link
or at least that's how "dinosaur" struck me
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 April 2021 14:01 (two years ago) link
i think i might agree it’s even better than the last one
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 18:25 (two years ago) link
it's unreal how good this album is
― uberweiss, Sunday, 8 August 2021 11:23 (two years ago) link
if you like this record i also recommend the new foxing
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Sunday, 8 August 2021 12:12 (two years ago) link
loving that too
one year i'd like not to have the exact same year end list as you but btwn this, foxing, wolf alice, the maine & pale waves, i don't think this will be that year
― uberweiss, Sunday, 8 August 2021 13:15 (two years ago) link
"way back" is the best song ever
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Monday, 7 February 2022 16:05 (two years ago) link
what the hell @ 'dinosaur' bridge

this is some trail of dead tier stuff
