A thread for the band Fucked Up

nah i think this is all pretty engaging

It's interesting to me how the album isn't front- or back-loaded, it's really high quality throughout. Insofar as I'm going to be disappointed with anything this band does that isn't Epics In Minutes, I think this is the best thing they've done since then

Maybe if I treat the last ten tracks as their own thing and start at Living In A Simulation then they'll come to life a bit more - I mean I think they're still good but I'm in thrall to the initial run a bit

look around, tell me what you see
behind the halls of shining groceries

i listened to that like six times in a row the day i bought the album

the half of Year of the Horse that's been released so far (they seem to be unveiling one "act" every couple months) is really something

The pessimist in me assumes the band broke up/Damian left the band whenever I see this thread revive.

Dose Your Dreams still rules.

the zodiac records are my favorite this thing outfit creates

Matt Berninger on a Fucked Up song!! ok!

Year of the Horse completed now... I love it more than me own mum

this is fuckin awesome. love the huge guitar squalls that announce "act two".

also, feels much much shorter than its 94 minutes would suggest

not that into the medieval/post-rock/prog instrumental sections but damian's vocals still rip

they really do. also julien baker is an obvious but satisfying choice for a literal choir of angels

it's happening again

the cost of the 2xLP hurt me a little (nothing like shelling out for international shipping on a record by an ostensibly local act) but I'm wearing this thing out so it seemed the only course of action
