You know, if you chop off the first 50 seconds of that song and then cut it off at the 2 50 mark its actually pretty good. As a whole though it is garbage. Rageaholic Monkey posted:I was just talking with a friend about this. First Impressions was great. Angles was completely forgettable. But at least they still sounded like The Strokes while doing it. That album for me is basically, skip, under cover of darkness, skip, skip, taken for a fool, then a bunch more skipping. Which is sad because I can listen to first impressions pretty much straight through without that ever crossing my mind.

thehoodie posted:So if anyone else missed Yeah Yeah Yeahs live stream of their new album Mosquito or, like me, didn't know it was happening, here it is! I was underwhelmed by this album until I got the last track "wedding song", album went from a 5 to a 8.5 in one track. Really digging buried alive as well. And it is making me rethink my "if its rap rock that doesn't involve public enemy it shouldn't exist" policy. TheAbortionator fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Apr 8, 2013 |

If I was phoenix I would hire them on as an opening act. Imagine all the people coming in half way through the opener thinking they already missed some of headliner.

Another arcade fire track. http://pitchfork.com/news/52464-arcade-fire-debut-afterlife-perform-reflektor-on-snl/ I personally love it, but I can see it bothering some fans.

britishbornandbread posted:Phantogram release a new EP today. They're my favourite new band. Anyone else keen on them? Yes, they are rapidly becoming a favorite band. Eyelid movies felt a bit to long with a bit to much filler, but the ep after that was one of my favorite records of last year and this new one is also really really good. I saw them (i use the word saw lightly as I was to far back to see much) at bonnaroo and all the tracks that felt kinda weak on album sounded much much better and I have a bit more appreciation for them (sixteen years gives me chills now). Pretty excited about a new tour and a smaller venue.

Windelkron posted:heck yeah! I am the saxophonist in this band, we just played a big show in Brooklyn and I'm on a bit of a high, You have every right to be on a high. This is really really really good. I just saw this on your youtube "Our trailer was stolen in Portland, OR and we lost $25,000 worth of gear." This is really lovely but it seems you kids got back on track. Did you manage to recover any gear? On a side note, I finally saw Phantogram in a smaller venue and the people in this thread that said they were amazing live were completely right. Probably one of my favorite shows ever.

FactsAreUseless posted:A Coldplay song sounds derivative of another artist? What an unprecedented scandal. How can Coldplay betray their many fans by failing to keep up their high standard for interesting, original music. I can forgive chris martin as he owns up to his blatent stealing “It’s a plagiarist’s paradise. We used to just be able to steal off Radiohead. Now we can steal off everybody.” Having said that its comical how obvious is getting.

Serisothikos posted:I know they're kind of passé at this point For what its worth I have never met anyone who treated music more as a fashion accessory then something they actually enjoy who didnt turn out to be a huge tool. Serisothikos posted:The Decemberists are playing their first live show since 2011 at Boston Calling in May and I'm surprisingly excited about it. I have always loved the Decemberists (by always I mean up to and including the crane wife) but I have never seen them outside of a festival setting. Also 2 out of the 3 times they were at bonnaroo they conflicted with Wilco, and Wilco always won, so if they make it to Toronto I will probably try to make it to that because they are one band I have listened to way to much to have never seen a full length proper set from. The Angry Mariners Revenge will forever be my favorite song to obnoxiously sing along to at work. Also, speaking of uncool bands that we unapologetically love, did anyone else listen to the new Tokyo Police Club album? It was a let down for me, the best 8 and a half minutes of it are at the start and were released 3-4 months ago. (in there defense though its a drat good 8 1/2 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MG6rKuCfyo Having said that the rest of the album feels like they were toning down that childish stupidily happy sound that endeared me the first 2 full lengths.

Hollow Talk posted:And while I have trouble with the Hazards of Love Same here, but the only two songs I liked from the album were wont want for love and the rakes song, so that part of the set list sits really well with me. I was gonna grab tickets for the toronto show but they are playing a festival I am going to already, and ive seen em twice as it stands. Using the money to see Death Cab for the 6th time, I promised myself the last 3 times that I would never pay to see ben gibbard in any form what so ever. But then this new album is shaping up to be kinda awesome and the Antlers are opening so goodbye money I guess. 2 new tracks live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVs7j5DSi8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9KyXr2w-Ws tarbrush posted:Hi thread, Wilco, Sky Blue Sky to start with as its the most folksie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLe5BtbrHeo Also Fleet Foxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mR8Z-gmK1g TheAbortionator fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Feb 22, 2015 |

Rageaholic Monkey posted:New Death Cab album is streaming in full at NPR: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/22/393583853/first-listen-death-cab-for-cutie-kintsugi Its a bit of a shame that most of the rest of the album isn't as good as the first four previewed tracks, but overall I am really really liking it. Death cab made a good album was a sentence I was starting to think I would never say again. They are playing here with the Antlers so heres hoping the live show got good again.

interpunct posted:I was pretty convinced that their farewell show would be, well, a farewell show that would last more than five years. I was at bonnaroo when Trent Reznor implied it would be his last show ever for NIN. They did one more tour "broke up" then were back at it 4 years later. I know tons of bands that split up then reunite in less time then it takes radiohead for a album + tour cycle.

ThatsMyBoye posted:I was slow and will be in row G for this show but yes, happily paid the $50/ticket. It's amazing how (at least, so far, we'll see how this holds up as the odds of idiots being at the shows increases) she rapturously holds the attention of the audience. When she opened for the Decemberists earlier this year you could hear a dang pin drop at Brooklyn Steel. It was unreal This is completly unrelated to the topic but I wanted to get your attention. You should go do the honors of starting your The National new album thread, I remember the last one was alive for about 2 years after the first one. Also New song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEe_yCVLQSc Not feeling it too much yet, but a track being a grower is par for the course for this band. Its not bad by any stetch, but its probably not gonna stay on repeat for a day like "the system only dreams in total darkness" did.

I can do you one better as far as honest bad takes go, Hot Thoughts is second only to Transference as far as Spoon goes.
