^^^ it's ridiculous

Yep that's my favourite track after a few listens. It's a really strong record all the way through though, even if you don't count the three bonus singles at the end it's still one of the year's best for me.

starting to really love this trend of bonus tracks as kind of a end credits/bonus victory lap thing on records
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 29 June 2020 19:32 (three years ago) link
My favorite track is one of the bonus goodies.

this album is played 24/7 in my apartment. i can hear it blasting through my roommates headphones while she works right now

Yup. "Now I'm In It" is max Soto-ness.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 29 June 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link
"Now I'm In It" is still tops but "3AM" is the biggest revelation for me - doesn't come off as pastiche to me at all

that live performance of a couple of songs off the album upthread is such a joy to watch and listen. they are amazing.

This is so great. Had no idea until now that Cass McCombs played guitar on "The Steps" (and "Up From a Dream", for that matter).

definitely need to spend more time with this -- time that i'm eager to spend fortunately -- but this has several really great tracks
― dyl, Monday, 6 July 2020 01:33 (three years ago) link
"i know alone" is already probably by favorite roller-rink bass-pop track by a 'band' since the xx's "on hold," just really beautifully and sincerely done
― dyl, Monday, 6 July 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
My favorites so far are The Steps, Up From a Dream, Gasoline, and Another Try, but and the album ranges from great to at worst pretty good. It's fairly tightly focused sound-wise, but within that sound I love all the different textures and approaches they try.
― Tōne Locatelli Romano (PBKR), Monday, 6 July 2020 02:13 (three years ago) link
finally digging into this. feel like a lot more songs are popping out at me than on the second one, though that one never really left my "i should give this some more listens!" queue.
"Up From A Dream" the first to really really get me, like a "heard it once and already the chorus is locked in my brain" kinda way.
might just be Spotify quality problems but everything is sounding just a little like a gratingly low-bandwidth MP3 to me. which kinda enhances the 90s retro feel if you squint, but clearly this is a lushly produced album so, yeah, gonna assume spotify streaming is to blame.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 August 2020 00:51 (three years ago) link
Production/mix is definitely weird but I don’t know if it’s spotify or a deliberate choice, considering they have the same people involved as their past two albums and I didn’t notice it before.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 1 August 2020 01:06 (three years ago) link
Heard a brief interview today w then talking abt how the first minute and a half or so of “Don’t Wanna” is a LinnDrum that just segues into a real drum and I somehow never noticed this but I love it so much
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 2 August 2020 02:23 (three years ago) link
i've noticed when it changes but wouldn't have guessed that the first part was a drum machine!
i have no idea when my physical copy is getting shipped but i am excited to dig into the production of this album properly.

2 things about The Steps:
1. Danielle phrases her vocals in the bridge ("You go left...") in a manner reminiscent of Loudon Wainwright III ca. late 70s, esp. his live performances.
2. Esme's bass comes in halfway through the 2nd verse ("You won't stop it...") to play an unusual V-vi-I-I (A-B-D-D) across the I-IV-I-IV (D-G-D-G) of the guitars. I'm not really a theory guy but it's startling and gives an illusion that the song's jumping ahead of itself.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 10 September 2020 06:36 (three years ago) link
Also Danielle's drums are very reminiscent of Lindsey's on Fleetwood Mac's "What Makes You Think You're The One?"
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 10 September 2020 06:38 (three years ago) link
aka the best drums ever?

Has anyone watched any of the live stuff they've done in the Covid era? I know they've done bits and bobs but i haven't seen any of it yet.
― piscesx, Sunday, 18 October 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link
I've put lots of it on to listen to, but not sat in front of the screen and watched beginning to end
― Covidiots from UHF (sic), Sunday, 18 October 2020 23:07 (three years ago) link
I watched the deli performance they released right when the album came out, highly recommended. Also watched em on Corben and Kimmel.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Monday, 19 October 2020 04:17 (three years ago) link
The Kimmel performance was great but got absolutely scrubbed without a trace from tube sites.
