September 9, 201311 yr The hype for this says hit single. Surely not. I optimistically agree. PLEASE.
September 9, 201311 yr The new song sounds great. Very long though, I mean over 7 minutes? I like the video. Those headwear they're wearing suits them. :lol:
September 11, 201311 yr Not convinced it's up to the standards of "Sprawl II" but they've obviously got it in them so if this is the direction the album's taking then I'm fairly optimistic it'll have some gems on it. And it's probably an error but on iTunes the pre-order is 13 tracks split over two discs - suggesting some ridiculously long songs.
September 11, 201311 yr I was initially underwhelmed by this, but the length made it a lot better for me as it definitely seems to build into something quite brilliant as it goes along. Win & Regina's vocals blend together excellently here, moreso than a lot of songs before. I don't think its anywhere near as good as most of the singles from their last album, but if it can finally get them a hit, then I definitely wouldn't be complaining.
September 11, 201311 yr Author After a couple of days listening this is just getting better and better for me. The James Murphy influence is incredibly notable (I mean the track is almost EIGHT minutes long), and I am LOVING the Bowie contribution. :D
September 12, 201311 yr Listening to Neon Bible, Funeral and The Suburbs in preparation for the new record. SUCH A STRONG DISCOGRAPHY DAMN!
September 12, 201311 yr Just had a listen to this and it's fantastic! I haven't been a big fan in the past but I've always loved Sprawl II and have been getting into that a lot recently, while this isn't as uniquely amazing as that, it's doing a very good job. Especially for an 8 minute track, did NOT feel like that at all.
September 14, 201311 yr Not sure about this yet. Hated it when it started but by the end it was ok. Will have to see if it grows on me
September 24, 201311 yr Looking forward to a proper classic porn soundtrack for the track Porno, given how they stated it was a dance album.
September 24, 201311 yr Three star review from Q, who said their last two were the albums of their respective years. Apparently overlong, directionless and pretentious. Oh dear.
October 6, 201311 yr Three star review from Q, who said their last two were the albums of their respective years. Apparently overlong, directionless and pretentious. Oh dear. Was that not The Suburbs though? I mean, I really liked the Suburbs, but...
