So everyone forgot this already? so much for all that AOTY bullshit
i still listen to it a lmost every day, acutally listened to it on the way home from work just an hour ago

Yeah same, shit's addictive. Feel like I'm over listening already though, so bring on Deakin's opus
because it was terrible. So bland and directionless. Usually AnCo have a theme with their albums but this one just fell flat
>>63704681
the main theme of the album is them looking outwardly toward the world and everything going on and all the people in it
i think On Delay is really the only song thats about the band itself (as a whole)
>>63704712
Ya but I mean sonically. Like Sung Tongs went acoustic and tribal, MPP was hazy and blurry, CHz was noisy, this is just way too sugary psych pop with little to boast it's claim. I hated On Delay, I hated Recycling, the only tracks I could really stand were Floridada and Golden Gal
>>63704681
You aren't listening to it loud enough. It's incredible lyrics sonically diverse and catchy as hell
SO MANY WAYS
TO TO WA WADE BE BE YO YO ND ND
THE THE LI LINES THA THAT BORDER US
>>63704681
The sonic theme with this album is fucking dry vocals (which they haven't really done before), and layered sounds inspired by Dadaism
p sure the sonic theme was bland low-end synths and a repetitive vocal technique.

>MPP was hazy and blurry
Did we listen to the same record?
I didn't think it was very good but if I ever have a son with a mental retardation I will play it for him while he plays with his own poo
>>63706386
Not that guy but a lot of it was. (Bluish, My Girls, Lion in a Coma)
Doesn't change the fact that it's my favorite record of their though.
>>63704649
Floridada and Recycling are the only tracks that aren't shit
>>63706643
The Burglars is the best song on the album
>>63706427
I like Painting With but this made me laugh
>>63706277
except the end product wasn't dadaist at all
>>63704756
ah yes the "you aren't listening to it right" argument
It has some of their worst lyrics (bagels for everyone! makes "the frightened babies poo" seem subtle) and it is the absolute least "sonically diverse" record they've put out.
they even said they wanted the record to have a homogenous sound. Which they accomplished, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing.
I will admit that it is catchy, even the songs I actively dislike
>>63706362
this guys choice of words is very loaded with opinion but he's right
its the synths and the vocals that are the thing
>>63704649
One of the worst albums I heard this year

>opinion having any validity
o i am laffin
same thing happened with sauna
>>63708394
I still listen to Sauna, I sort of like the shorter form tracks
Seeing all these songs live really changed my outlook on the album for the better. Almost every song was way better live.
The burglers, golden gal, summing the wretch, hocus pocus, and vertical were amazing.
The only ones that kinda sucked were lying in the grass and floridada because there was no low end and the samples were quiet.
>>63709102
agreed about floridada, sounded pretty terrible live desu. everything else sounded great
>>63709102
Anco is better live anyways
i dunno, the sound design just felt a little outta date. those boinky synths and uncanny sounds felt very reminiscent of the stranger hemlock stuff around ~2009 and even a bit pc music-ish. had they released this album two or three years ago it would have felt a bit more fresh to my ears.
Bad album
