oh shit wait til y'all hear "petrichor"
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:11 (five years ago) link
it owns! love that they jump into ILWYS title track territory almost straight away on this album
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:13 (five years ago) link
"be my mistake" has the sort of arrangement i sorta wish radiohead had gone with for "true love waits"
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:22 (five years ago) link
there's so many things i have to say about this album i'm still just so happy someone finally had the sense to merge d'angelo and m83 (or, rather, bring the jazz element back into new pop revivalism)
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:27 (five years ago) link
as of "i like america & america likes me" i am completely overwhelmed

it's like "the ballad of me and my brain" had a nervous breakdown

they really straight up did their own Fitter Happier lmao

wonder if the "Love Theme" part of that track title is a reference to Vangelis
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:34 (five years ago) link
wowwww "I Couldn't Be In Love" is such an instantly great soul ballad
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:39 (five years ago) link
what even is this album
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:45 (five years ago) link
like... "mine"?????????
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:46 (five years ago) link
"mine" is so gorgeous
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:48 (five years ago) link
some X&Y vibes going on in here too, which i'm not complaining about at all

uh yeah it really is
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:54 (five years ago) link
well i immediately burst into tears at the chorus of "i always wanna die (sometimes)"
fuck
album of the year
it sounds like bends-era radiohead? i love it
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:55 (five years ago) link
this is such a perfect bombastic closer
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:57 (five years ago) link
that's the one where i thought X&Y! so mid-00s tv soundtrack-ish, my fucking heart
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:00 (five years ago) link
it also reminds me of Shouso Strip
finished the album and it really rules, not sure how it compares with ILWYS yet but certainly on a similar level. only thing is i never want to listen to "the man who married a robot" again lol
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:01 (five years ago) link
ugghhh I need to hear this
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 07:13 (five years ago) link
"i always wanna die sometimes" is one of those songs where you want the chorus to go a certain place and then it does and fireworks start shooting off in your head
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2018 07:34 (five years ago) link
where is everyone listening to this? i thought it wasn't out until the 30th?
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Monday, 26 November 2018 07:35 (five years ago) link
it also sounds really british to me which i think is cool
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2018 07:37 (five years ago) link
it leaked so nowhere that's legal
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:46 (five years ago) link
"i like america & america likes me" destroyed me.
― Nourry, Monday, 26 November 2018 09:55 (five years ago) link
where is this
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Monday, 26 November 2018 10:16 (five years ago) link
God it would be just horrible if this turned up in my inbox
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 10:27 (five years ago) link
"i always wanna die sometimes" is the most beautiful and sad and real song ever?
― Nourry, Monday, 26 November 2018 10:31 (five years ago) link
wonder if I'd like this more than the last one
n.b. i liked the last one mostly as it was so mad and sprawling
― imago, Monday, 26 November 2018 10:34 (five years ago) link
this one's madder and even broader in sound, though it doesn't really have the same sort of arc to it that ILWYS did
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 10:47 (five years ago) link
"let's write every type of ballad we can think of", the album
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 12:27 (five years ago) link
they just did a great cover of "thank u, next" on the radio 1 live lounge but it was very weird to hear someone else sing ariana's very personal lyrics
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 12:29 (five years ago) link
the brand is strongI'm honestly not sure how to feel about the suicidal ideation power ballad
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 12:35 (five years ago) link
Okay listening to this now and uh..... holy shit @ "Petrichor".
― Tim F, Monday, 26 November 2018 12:51 (five years ago) link
it's a good Radiohead track!
― I like queer. You like queer, senator? (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 26 November 2018 12:55 (five years ago) link
this band's sequencing choices continue to absolutely baffle me, but that's an easy fix
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 13:05 (five years ago) link
the brand is strong

Keep Desus & Mero out of this
― The Poppy Bush AutoZone (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 26 November 2018 13:11 (five years ago) link
I know it's corny as shit, but I feel like crying so much during 'the man who married a robot'.
― Nourry, Monday, 26 November 2018 13:14 (five years ago) link
ftr I have never watched Desus & Mero?
"Mine" seems to be pretty handily the best of the many ballads
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 13:18 (five years ago) link
the sequencing was pretty perfect on ILIWYS but it's a lot messier here
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link
tbf tho I think this is a much trickier batch of songs to sequence
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 13:34 (five years ago) link
fucking in a carshooting heroin
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 14:19 (five years ago) link
i really should spend more time with the parts of this album that aren't "i always wanna die (sometimes)"

first artist to mind when "Be My Mistake" chimes in: Ryan Adams
