"panic" is fucking amazing

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 19:07 (three years ago) link

the singles have all been incredible

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 19:23 (three years ago) link

the second half is giving me massive priest = aura-era the church vibes

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 19:24 (three years ago) link

and the final track eventually works itself into a gish-era-sp-type jam

phenomenal album

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 19:29 (three years ago) link

making me think of catherine wheel circa adam & eve too

attn spottie, what do you think of the new acceptance album

i had no idea it existed until tim f told me about it today but i'm really surprisingly about the springsteenian shift in their sound

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 20:03 (three years ago) link

warning for the general emo thread population, the acceptance record may exceed the limits of earnestness normally tolerated by the emo thread

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 20:28 (three years ago) link

i listened to the black foxxes record twice in a row today, it's the real deal

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 22:01 (three years ago) link

I'm generally a big fan of most anything Brad recommends but this:

listened to that acceptance album yesterday, thx brad. i think its ok, about half good. i get a lot of killers sound from it.

Spottie, Thursday, 15 October 2020 17:30 (three years ago) link

about half good is where i landed as well, but that half is real good

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 15 October 2020 17:33 (three years ago) link

dark age through wildfires is the highlight for me.

Spottie, Thursday, 15 October 2020 18:28 (three years ago) link

The Black Foxxes album isn't out yet, is it?

New Touché Amoré is really hitting the spot!

Ilxor in the streets, Scampo in the sheets (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 16 October 2020 08:59 (three years ago) link

An emotional rock trio from Devon eh

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 09:05 (three years ago) link

Devonians have feelings too

Ilxor in the streets, Scampo in the sheets (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 16 October 2020 09:08 (three years ago) link

And theories. Simulation theories

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 09:11 (three years ago) link

OIC

Ilxor in the streets, Scampo in the sheets (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 16 October 2020 09:14 (three years ago) link

black foxxes record is out oct 30

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 16 October 2020 12:44 (three years ago) link

you'd best have sold it accurately lol

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 14:26 (three years ago) link

lj you should listen to "badlands" and find out

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:00 (three years ago) link

Oh this vocalist!!

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:33 (three years ago) link

This is one of the most instantly arresting vocal presences in a while. The music is that good 90s stuff, as advertised

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:34 (three years ago) link

Holy shit what has this turned into

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:38 (three years ago) link

exactly

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:54 (three years ago) link

so the best two emo bands in the world have 'fox' in the name then

Chip-vill-A (imago), Friday, 16 October 2020 23:55 (three years ago) link

looking forward to "badlands" placing in the 77 and everyone getting mad at me

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 17 October 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link

I will join that quest

I’m strictly Electronic/minimal (the totally opposite) but I feel I have stumbled upon a track that the rock heads would die for😂

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 17 October 2020 01:22 (three years ago) link

lol i noted that one too

Chip-vill-A (imago), Saturday, 17 October 2020 09:31 (three years ago) link

finally got around to the touché amoré, this is fucking great

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 October 2020 22:45 (three years ago) link

i really liked stage four but this feels like the big leap

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 October 2020 22:46 (three years ago) link

Ross Robinson, emo king

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Tuesday, 20 October 2020 22:54 (three years ago) link

I'll stand behind that. Relationship of Command, Burn Piano Island, and now Lament. He has a lot of credits under his belt that I don't care for but its undeniable that he had a major role in some of my absolute favorite albums ever made.

gman59, Wednesday, 21 October 2020 19:36 (three years ago) link

soupy from the wonder years confirmed the fireworks album is coming out this year. i sure hope so

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 25 October 2020 16:55 (three years ago) link

soupy from the wonder years had best not be lying

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Sunday, 25 October 2020 22:51 (three years ago) link

brad you were not lying about the Black Foxxes album! what a huge step up for them.

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 October 2020 17:10 (three years ago) link

Is it out? I'll happily listen to Badlands on repeat for 50m if not

imago, Thursday, 29 October 2020 19:25 (three years ago) link

Oh I have to wait 4 hours, grr

imago, Thursday, 29 October 2020 19:36 (three years ago) link

Yeah, this is great, even if Badlands towers above all

imago, Friday, 30 October 2020 11:19 (three years ago) link

weirdly I'm only not totally sold on the epic closer? otherwise this is definitely scratching the neo-90s-altrock itch that Wolf Alice does for me

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Saturday, 31 October 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link

inner space rock

imago, Sunday, 1 November 2020 05:56 (three years ago) link

it is a bit Radiohead for me to completely love it but I can see why Brad likes Panic so much, haha. And that last minute is an almighty payoff

the first four tracks are my favourite stretch because I'm an instant gratification junkie lol

imago, Sunday, 1 November 2020 15:22 (three years ago) link

but that was the case with the Foxing album as well and I ended up loving all of it

imago, Sunday, 1 November 2020 15:23 (three years ago) link

the fox bands need to do an album together

imago, Sunday, 1 November 2020 15:23 (three years ago) link

I also really like the closing track but my favourite bit of it is the songy opening stretch

imago, Sunday, 1 November 2020 15:46 (three years ago) link

two weeks pass...

update: I have now listened to Black Foxxes a frankly embarrassing number of times

it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 14:18 (three years ago) link

^^^same

imago, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:55 (three years ago) link

Is there not a way to get a physical version of that Black Foxxes record in the US? Even when I go to their website and click on the literal pictures of the LP or CD versions in their shop, it kicks me to a link that only takes me to streaming/digital ways to get it.
