Is that out? Thought next week.

I am disappointed that Parker was there with Ronson but didn't bring TI with him..... next year!

[majormajormajor]

The album has leaked.

 

Won't pass judgement until I've listened a few times. They always own me in the end

Ah, thanks guys. I was hoping for something to get for free off Apple Music but will just torrent it later.

 

What I have heard of the record is fucking excellent. Particularly 'Cause I'm a Man..... classic.

 

Pretty much nailed on I would say for next year. I am going to call it now and say Park Headliner

The Park when the sun is going down, a la spiritualized/jamie xx this year -- that'd be amazing.

 

I'm salivating thinking about it.

hmmm not really feeling this new album at all. the four singles released thus far are far and away the best things on here - everything else is very MOR and forgettable. one of those albums where, come the next album tour, i feel only one or two will make the setlist cut and the rest will be put to bed and forgotten about. shame. 'Cause I'm A Man is still an absolute belter tune, mind

Just another case of a band following up some success with a divisive disco album. You've got to wonder why they keep doing it.

the moment i see the term 'we put down our guitars and used more synths' in an interview for any upcoming album i should just lessen my expectations there and then. it's almost inevitable with any band like this, and it's almost never good

I think you need to wait a few days. I hated 'Let it Happen' when it first came out.

 

Not really getting a 'Lonerism' vibe from anything on this album, not saying that's a bad thing, but it'll certainly scare off the 'Elephant' crowd. I am sure it's good, I trust Kevin Parker. I will wait until the weekend when I've listened to it ten times before I have a proper opinion.

nice one, thanks!

[internetjef]

tend to agree with poster earlier that the 4 advance tracks are comfortably the best tracks on it.

 

Had a few listens and a little bit underwhelmed, still decent but hoping its a groer

[zero000]

I think the new album is going to be a bit of a slow burner, having listened to it once.I really like the last track too.

[EighteenSixty7]

This album is seriously good. Love the sound. Perfect for summer.

[dentalplan]

Given it a fair few listens now and I think it's OK and nothing more.

 

Pitchfork review has dropped and they've slapped a 9.3 on it (Lonerism and Innerspeaker got 9 and 8.5 respectively) so they have it on level pegging with Kendrick, Sufjan and Jamie XX.

 

Stream here if you haven't heard yet.

Very good on first listen. Does it get worse with more listens or?

[dentalplan]

Nah I thought it was shit on first play, then I listened to it more and it attained adequacy.

[dentalplan]

Get me to zero rep mang.

Ahh, I'll give it a couple more listens later and will report back. I wasn't paying a great deal of attention to it really.

[Bradders]

I really like it. Better than the previous 2 albums IMO. Don't agree that the 4 advance tracks are the best either. Yes I'm Changing is much better than Disciples, for example.

Pitchfork are a bunch of c**ts. This album is good, but it isn't as good as Lonerism.

 

Perhaps with time I'll believe it is though, not ruling that out. But Pitchfork are still c**ts.

I'm struggling to listen to it:

All dead links

Only for Canadian Audiences.

Am I being thick?

[dentalplan]

Weird. Worked earlier because I tested it out. Got you though.
