can’t go past “hey (extended mix)”

“oh please” or “love song” would be runners up

For me, it's "The Greatest" vs. "Love Song"

They saved the best for the last, Native Land it is.

Tuomas otm. "Native Land" it is.

also probably 'native land, but this is an impossible task.

Nourry, Saturday, 15 February 2020 15:39 (four years ago) link

Hey or Native Land. Probably the former but I'm going to luxuriate in deciding.

Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Saturday, 15 February 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link

mirroring the general sentiments here in that it's between 'hey' and 'native land.'

voting 'hey', but it's actually a tie.

I'm looking over the tracklist and drooling

went with The Greatest

love them all but "Native Land" is on another level

geoffreyess, Saturday, 15 February 2020 22:00 (four years ago) link

I do really like this album as a whole, but still didn't hesitate in voting for The Greatest

holy hell the guitar in "Oh Please!"

I'm falling in love again w/my favorite album of 2016.

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 15 February 2020 23:18 (four years ago) link

I just listened to this a couple of weeks ago and it really is astonishing how perfect this whole record is. Wonder if we'll ever get a follow-up?

Love seeing that you guys still play & thrilled you hear our love of gaming in our music😊 #moogfest2017 I gave a workshop on how the classic consoles influenced the soundscape of the ‘We Are KING’ album. We approached each song like a level in one of the classic games (+) pic.twitter.com/IxQL4lyiPb

also said they're working on a new album, hopefully it'll be out this year then

ufo, Sunday, 16 February 2020 06:14 (four years ago) link

i think "oh please" just beats out "hey"

ufo, Sunday, 16 February 2020 10:12 (four years ago) link

I had to go with "In the Meantime", my entry point, which I listened to hundreds of time before the album came out. I also really love "The Right One", "The Greatest", "Red Eye", and "Native Land" (which is probably my next choice).

beard papa, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 21:03 (four years ago) link

went with the bravest famous maven in my prime

carry on

Bstep, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 00:03 (four years ago) link

While I'll be sad if "The Greatest" doesn't get any votes, it has to be "Love Story" for me at this point in my life.

crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 00:16 (four years ago) link

("Love Song," I meant.)

crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 00:16 (four years ago) link

didn't see any mentions of mister chameleon, so that was my vote. prob not my actual favorite, but it was my gateway into their wonderful world, so im comfortable with the choice.

More votes please.

Wish “The Right One” could’ve gotten a vote too. Fantastic opener.

crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 March 2020 00:19 (four years ago) link

Love Song wasn't my vote but that opening line in it ("Not far / not far from here")... oh man it just stirs up so much emotion in me. I

two years pass...

wanna thank ILX for introducing me to this album via the collective freakout on some thread I can't find right now. I don't know shit about R&B but this album is special. there's like this magic to it, idk how else to describe it. What's Going On has it, a lot of Stevie stuff has it, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" has it, this whole album has it. it's like...slightly unreal. the songs don't even feel like real songs. its more like they're just morphing around. like that ending crystalline part on "Hey". who does stuff like that? a lot of "wait does anyone else hear this" bits but then I remember the 500 post thread elsewhere. even the cover is super cool. very graphic design is my passion vibe to it until you really look and see how pretty it is.

welp time to go listen to some Van Der Graaf Generator

frogbs, Saturday, 4 June 2022 03:31 (one year ago) link

I don't know shit about R&B but this album is special.
