I have only listened to the track called structure, but I thought it was alright; it mixed the futurepop of civilization era FLA with some of the synth stuff from contemporary darkwave acts like TR/ST. Still sounds dated, but moving in the right direction.

I used to hate that the guy called himself "Jimmy Urine," but I just looked him up on wikipedia and his real name is "James Euringer," so I'll allow it.

Best FLA album since Implode. Which is saying... it didn't bore me and I liked half a dozen songs. Plus the songs where the lyrics made me laugh were danceable and had some energy to them unlike the ones I really hated on Echogenetic. Spitting Wind wasn't good, but it was weird and unexpected, so I'll take that over Epitaph and Civilization which were fine but felt boring. I may genuinely listen to Living a Lie more than anything on this album, it really made me laugh.

trip report from HEALTH: - it's all loving good - so loving good - can't wait to see them live with youth code - slaves of fear and strange days (1999) are far and away best - god botherer and black static close behind - it's all good

Loving Loss Deluxe. I slam bought tickets to the Vancouver show. No way in hell am I missing fuckin' Youth Code supporting this phenomenal album. Dare I suggest that this album represents a renaissance of the industrial ethos for me?

Of the new HEALTH album, I felt like only FEEL NOTHING really stood out to me. It reminds me a little of 3Teeth's Nihil. Neither album is bad, but I wished both HEALTH and Boy Harsher would explore a bit more. I miss a little variety.

I like the new Health (sometimes stylized HEALTH) album but kind of agree with the above. Feel Nothing (sometimes stylized FEEL NOTHING) is the stand out track. Strange Days (1999) and The Message are good, as is the title track. The rest really feels like a jumble to me. It happened with hide too. I get why they do the emotionally detached style vocals, but it leads to stuff not standing out. With hide I started out really liking Castration Anxiety but growing bored with it. With this I was a little iffy on it but the stand out tracks were spread out that it kept my attention and I mostly liked it.

HEALTH has given more attention to Strange Days that it got when it was released. It's a better film now because of them. In 1995 it was just a corny sci fi movie about the millennium. There were a lot of those.

Per Cevin Key's social media, Phillip Western died. At least the Download record that was slated to drop next month is likely complete, but this probably destroys any chance of a tour. No official cause of death has been revealed yet.

Hatari is a very political (lefty) band and they might speak out about issues that concern them while there. I do think that at the very least nothing will change and their tourism will stay the same, this is just someone trying to scare people into not voting for Hatari but it might have the opposite effect. We'll have to wait and see, they haven't won the nomination yet so they might not even go to Eurovision.

I don’t want to be the guy who claims that every bad review of something they like is poorly written, but the Pitchfork review for Slaves of Fear ends with the author trying to claim that the use of the word “slaves” is offensive because slavery is a thing that has only ever existed as something Americans did to Africans.

At one point they claim metal is allowed to have vague lyrics, but that Health is bad metal that "does not shred". I don't think they get it. Kinda ironic that their "empty moaning" complaint against the album can be pretty squarely leveled at their review. But yeah their inability to seperate the general concept of slavery from Slavery in the United States is kind of the cherry on top.

I dunno, the review seems fair enough; I mean, clearly the author hated the album and the rationalizations are colored by that, but there is no such thing as an objective review anyway.

Biomute posted:I dunno, the review seems fair enough; I mean, clearly the author hated the album and the rationalizations are colored by that, but there is no such thing as an objective review anyway. There are legitimate complaints in the review - the riffs are legit subpar compared to their previous albums, and Health’s lyricism is always at its best when it’s vague and creepy (We Are Water, Drugs Exist) and at its worst when it’s specific and navel-gazing (The Message, loving Life.) These lyrics are usually easy to look past if the song goes hard enough, like Stonefist, but there are tracks on SoF where the mediocre composition doesn’t let you ignore it. It’s definitely their worst (unless you count s/t, which is so weird I can’t even really rank it) but still a solid entry in the discography and worth a listen, and I can understand why you’d dislike it, but the weird-rear end performative wokeness poo poo combined with suggesting they should have just broke up when Jupiter left (ignoring why Jupiter left, making it more embarrassing) is some bullshit.

No complaints about the jist of the reviewer's opinion, just with how it's presented and rationalized. Pigeonholing Health as metal is dumb. I've tempered my opinion on the album a bit after some more listens. I no longer think it's some breakthrough thing, bit I still super love the sound they've managed to build, and super excited to see it live. I can get how some will feel Health lost their artsy touch, and that it's replaced with generic angst, but to me it feels like they've found their natural sound that strikes a hell of a chord. The energy on the album is crazy, and they're not relying on hardcore or metal or anything to accomplish it, it's just Health amped up.

Life is actually a really good song, though. Is there a song as good as Life on this loving thing? I'm 4 tracks in and have not heard a single decent hook

I like the new HEALTH album but I don't have a lot of previous experience with the band which it sounds like some of the disappointment is stemming from. I also like the new Boy Harsher album and keep forgetting that I haven't listened to anything between Yr Body is Nothing and it. I just got back from seeing Boy Harsher and had a fantastic time.
