"gr4" more like gr8

feel like the beat tracks are interludes between the ambient tracks, which are the highlight!

gr4, of all the songs so far, deserves the 20 minute NTS treatment haha

properness
And Brad came in late! The opener was probably their best opener since Cipater
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:49 (three years ago) link
yes and it's probably not even in the top 5 tracks so far
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:50 (three years ago) link
ooo let's have a fight about an album that we haven't finished listening to yet cuz i stan the opener
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link
these chords could mash up well with I've had the time of my life from Dirty Dancing lol
― J. Sam, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link
just absolutely losing my shit to this one ("th red a")
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:51 (three years ago) link
why isn't this out until next friday! i already want to hear it 300 more times
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:52 (three years ago) link
these chords get better the more i hear them. this is gonna be a blissed out headphones album for sure. shame i never get to bliss out with headphones any more!
wow some super abrupt endings to these tracks.

This square wave synth sound is something I haven't heard from them since literally Amber.
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:53 (three years ago) link
oh this is IT. nodding solemnly rn
― J. Sam, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:53 (three years ago) link
that's what struck you first and not the kick????? xp
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:53 (three years ago) link
(but i mean, well spotted)
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:54 (three years ago) link
yes, love these sounds so much more than the glassy chimes that dominated oversteps.
― neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:54 (three years ago) link
I randomly threw on Amber earlier today and it's surprising this doesn't sound worlds away. I've only caught a couple tracks but I'm way more psyched than I thought I would be.

I'm losing my shit over this record
EVERY SINGLE TRACK
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:57 (three years ago) link
what a closer
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 20:59 (three years ago) link
xp Yeah that's kind of the shock to me. This is easily their most consistent record since.... LP5?
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link
gossamer trails
― assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link
Like in the past I've often made custom playlists of their releases, or usually there's always 1-3 tracks on a record of theirs I will skip.
Not a single thing here warrants anything short of your complete attention.
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:01 (three years ago) link
agreed. I can't wait to hear this again
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
whomp
― neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:03 (three years ago) link
Love that their classic Juno 106 bass sound lives on in this finale.
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:03 (three years ago) link
This is easily the first Ae album fans who departed in 2001 might actually enjoy. Much more so than even Oversteps.

this is actually lush tho
― J. Sam, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:04 (three years ago) link
last track is a portal
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:05 (three years ago) link
that might have been the highlight of 2020 for me

*stands up alone in bedroom, applauds*
― J. Sam, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:06 (three years ago) link
wow
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:06 (three years ago) link
I have been feeling like shit and that last track pierced through my shields and I felt a wash of calm through me and now I'm crying a bit, so there's that.
― assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:07 (three years ago) link
should I poll all these reactions or just wait for Whiney to do it
can't believe you actually enjoy this, ha ha ha
― frogbs, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:10 (three years ago) link
fuck what do i even do now
― J. Sam, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:10 (three years ago) link
Because I don't understand time zones, I only heard the last track. It was very pretty! Based on the above I'm guessing it resonates more in context.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:11 (three years ago) link
Waiting on Whiney to post a poll of the best quotes of the live stream
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:13 (three years ago) link
totally. i've just been pacing back and forth
xps
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:14 (three years ago) link
fuck frogbs you beat me to it lol
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:14 (three years ago) link
it's like 80% very straightforwardly pretty. kind of a beach at sunset album imo. definitely not what i was expecting.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:14 (three years ago) link
I think I heard the last two tracks because I only just got done with work and realized why this thread kept popping up to the top of new answers
I might actually get this though & I've felt this band were taking the piss for, like, decades
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:15 (three years ago) link
can't wait to listen to it in higher res
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:16 (three years ago) link
uhhh apparently you can download the album from the store.
― octobeard, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:29 (three years ago) link
how. do you just check out the pre order download?
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:31 (three years ago) link
yes. oops.
― lukas, Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link
