>>65946851
someone confirm plz
>>65946851
nigga I aint clicking that shit
ITS SHIT
>>65946851
>[128 kbps]
honestly why ruin it for yourself. hold out til the 320
>>65946867
>>65946864
it's real but it's shit quality and missing 2 songs
>128 kpbs
HAHAHAH
OH WOW
>>65946897
>>65946902
128 isnt great or really even good, but its definitely fair
>>65946851
>128 kbps
>>65946964
It's still missing 2 tracks though.
>>65946992
yeah that part sucks
>>65946851
fuck me i'm actually crying
since i left you is my favorite album of all time, and this is... wow.
sixteen fucking years.
>>65947038
what would u rate wildflower out of 10
>>65947058
I can't rate it yet, but I'm definitely feeling somewhere around an 8
>>65946851
It's an incomplete stream-rip and a transcode of 96kbps quality. Thanks for being courteous, but it's better to just wait for a true CDQ rip rather than rely on that Russian stream to give you an idea of what Wildflower sounds like.
>>65947058
the unreleased tracks could bump it up a bit, but right now i'm feeling a 3 or a 4. it's just fucking depressing.
>>65947038
Well, you're an idiot. Of course you are going to have a skewed perception of the album considering SILY is your all time favorite. It isn't even fucking out yet. How long have you been listening to SILY? Don't act dense, give it at least 3 years.
>>65947121
bait
>>65947058
its pretty good man, even in this quality 7-8/10
>>65947125
maybe. i really cannot see myself ever liking this though.
subways and colours are nice, i guess.
>>65946851
Holy shit, I got my hopes back up after hearing the singles that came out after Frankie Sinatra, but this really is as bad as that festering turd originally lead me to believe. What a fucking stain on their name.
>>65946964
you're fucking retarded if you think 128 is anything other than shit quality, 192kbps is the lowest bitrate most music still sounds passable at
holy fuck it's terrible lmao
>>65947280
no, im not just bitchy and overly dissatisfied pleb.
>>65946851
I'd put it at a 4/10 or a 5/10 at the moment, really disappointed.
I'm not understanding the disappointment people are having with this. Did you want just another carbon copy of SILY? What about this is so terrible and disappointing garbage?
>>65946851
i didn't want it to be sily 2.0, it's just that its pretty mediocre. it has a few somewhat high points (subways) and some very very low points (frankie sinatra), but overall it's really bleh. 4/10.
It's RAM all over again. Maybe even worse.
frankie sinatra is such a garbage track what the fuck were they thinking
>>65947715
Except RAM was actually good and had no "Frankie Sinatra". Also it didn't have a such a huge gap between albums.
>>65947715
RAM was good so this must be too
>>65947102
^ this.
not to mention this link is still missing two tracks. the fact that people are critiquing this album based off a low quality transcode incomplete rip is almost stupidly astounding.
>128 kbps
yikes! i'll pass
>>65947723
>>65947737
im not even that much of a fan of hip hop and I like frankie sinatra
>>65947737
>and had no "Frankie Sinatra"
get lucky
>>65947715
I actually liked RAM, but yeah, this is fucking shite.
>>65947715
RAM is their best album you double nigger.
>>65947715
This makes RAM seem like an utterly singular work of genius
>>65947811
get lucky was pretty decent tbqh. Well actually I see the similarities: Kind of annoying repetitive hook, much better, short-lived bridge
But ram was legit good, giorgio by moroder, motherboard, touch are fantastic songs
WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HORRIBLE?
>>65947884
Because pop artists have a very short shelf life -- especially Hip Hop artists (which apperently is 100% what they are now)
>>65947715
>RAM isn't the best one
fuck off
Since I Left You is one of my very few 10s.
Wildflower is stacking up to be one of the worst albums I've listened to in a very long time.
This whole debacle has made me hate Russia that much more. Fucking Bulgaria.
BRING DARREN BACK
>>65947752
*trip hop
>>65947950
I heard something about this guy being schizophrenic. That true?
>>65947811
Get Lucky is a good song though. The only bad thing about it is that it's overplayed as fuck.
Frankie Sinatra is honestly the worst song of the year.
I'm having trouble finding a word that would express my fucking disappointment with this album. Like another guy said, I didn't want a SILY clone, but something that came close to that caliber is what people were expecting. This wouldn't feel like such a blow to their fans if 16 years hadn't gone by, too. Haven't been this bummed out by a release in a long time... maybe ever.
>>65947058
three
>>65947058
5, but that's probably being generous.
I like Because I'm Me, Colours and Subways. The other songs are a minute long or complete trash.
>>65947058
Fuckin 0, because I will never listen to it ever again.
jesus christ is /mu full of children? the album is literally somewhere inbetween 128 - 96kpbs, it's missing two tracks and you guys are tearing it to shreds complaining that it sounds shitty. of course it sounds shitty. It's hard for an album of that bitrate to not sound shitty. I remember hearing a lonerism leak in similar quality a few years back and thought it was utter shite (inb4 "lol it is utter shite anon ahah"). cmon guys
why do all the songs sound so fucking basic. so little chop and screw elements, just basic sampling. 5/10
>>65946851
I just hope every hipster on this board would die in a terrible way. This is beautiful
gawd how little self control do you dweebs have?
just wait for the full, decent quality leak.
why fucking ruin it for yourselves?
>>65948073
What is a deaf person doing on /mu/?
>>65948073
I don't think you've read the thread. People are complaining about the album being shit not that it *sounds* shitty.
>>65948118
>>65948073
^^ QFT.
>>65948073
i have albums that are 128 but that doesn't make them a bad album you autist.
>>65948073
>the sound quality also effects the music quality
>>65948073
Have you listened to the leak? Heard Frankie Sinatra? 80% of the songs are complete shit that will not be saved by a higher quality rip.
All we can hope for is that when a higher quality release comes out there are a couple hidden gems like ETOH in between all the crap.
I'm pretty crazy over SILY, but this just sounds fucking awful.
>>65948148
>i have albums that are 128
why
>listening to a low quality leak
worst topic i've ever seen.
it's actually pretty fucking good.
>>65948220
because some music is not available in a higher bitrate obviously.
>>65947737
this is the quintessential bait
>>65948156
how could it not? i understand that you'd have a general idea as to whether or not you like a song or an album based off 128kpbs or lower quality, it just baffles me that there who are putting themselves in the worst position possible to enjoy an album as anticipated as this one. It'd be like going and watching the new star wars film in black & white
What the fuck is wrong with you autists.
You're calling an album shit that you haven't actually heard. 96 kbps mono mix!!! That's below peasant quality, listen to SILY or fucking London Calling in 96 kbps mono and it will sound like hot ass cheese.
You guys can cry all you want, the album will not be a disappointment to most fans. Just cunts on here apparently
>>65948374
>or fucking London Calling
lel
>>65948374
It's bad. I know it's disappointing. Don't take it out on us.
yawn. wait till pitchfork gives this a 9.0+ and you faggots will be all over it. happens every time.
>>65948479
No way, they'll give it between 7 - 8 at best and say how it didn't live up to expectations, was boring and the lack of most of the original members.
>>65948479
I would say the majority of /mu/ are p4k contrarians these days
>>65948491
I always thought that website was trash, and If they rate it above a 5, hopefully anons will finally wake up to that fact
>>65947715
i agree. RAM was banal and over hyped.
>>65948092
This is what kills it for me...these songs are fucking boring!
/mu/ would hate this album no matter what was on it
How about some albums that could have been LP2?
In other words, albums that sound like SILY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBwN14Ka3ho
>>65947811
Did you only listen to the Radio Edit of Get Lucky?
All the singles sounded boring MAYBE bar the toro y moi one and what they did with danny brown and mf doom on Frankie sinatra was a crime because that instrumental was awful
Why is there any hype for this album
>>65948662
i love this
>>65947058
4/10
>>65947715
Way worse
RAM was disapointing but it was only a 7 year wait, and the production was stunning even if the music was derivative and dull
>>65948662
Wow...i feel ashamed because I never heard this before. It reminds me of SILY mixed with The Go! Team.
I will be picking this up. thanks anon

>>65946851
SOMEONE STREAM
ITT: People are disappointed because they went on a hype train and rose their expectations to the impossible levels
listening now
if i was a folkstar into colours is very, very good. the rest has been pretty average so far.
>>65951312
oh dear, just got to the noisy eater. why
Every single one of you listening to this garbage rip off some Russian stream are not true fans of the Avalanches. Seriously, I bet some of you never listened to them no longer than a year ago.
Good or bad, no WAY I'm listening to an album, especially this album, in anything less than its entirety and something that isn't in mono about above a 192 bit rate, which this doesn't come close to achieving apparently. Dumb niggers kids on this board
>>65951161
ITT: People are disappointed because they buckled and chose to listen to an album they had been excited to listen to for years on end and sullied it by being ignorant to the fact this is a 96kbps transcode incomplete stream-rip.
Everyone judging this as if it were a CDQ version of the album are fucking dense and impatient as dick. Chances are, this is going to leak in 256/320 sometime this upcoming week and they blew the ability to enjoy this album by making their first impression of this thing be that of a batch of unorganized files they might as well have downloaded from Napster.
People... This "128kbps" rip is incomplete. It is missing two tracks. It isn't even 128kbps, it is a rip taken from a stream orchestrated by a bunch of Ruskie fucks who intentionally fucked with the tracks to make the process of listening to this as unpleasant as possible. The endings of each track were fucked with on Audacity, there's clipping all over the place, and need I stress yet again that these tracks barely even pass as 96kbps? If you are judging this album as is like it were the final product despite knowing this, you are a fucking drooling neanderthal and thus your opinions are moot.
Say if I found twelve .MIDIs of a fourteen-track album you love and wrote a complete review on it, would you trust that I got the full impact of the album despite it being in the worst quality it possibly could have been -and- incomplete? No, you'd tell me to choke on a bag of cocks.
disappointed as expected
>>65951821
your mom was disappointing last night
>>65951878
>>65951959

>>65953941
No fucking shit we want it you cunt. Post it.
>>65953941
It'll be a transcode for sure, but why not.
Let's see what you got, anon.
>>65953941
This better not be another dolphin porn folder
lol park music is just part of wildflower again. just delete it desu
It sounds good, what's wrong with you autists? I agree it's not at the level of SILY but I'm enjoying myself... This is what happens when you set yourself up this much.
>>65953941
i highly doubt anything will come out of this, but yes, post your leak.
>>65948156
But it does, you lose a lot of details, sounds get distorted and blended, and the mixing and mastering gets fucked. Especially w/ a 128 kbps. Why are there so many retarded children on /mu/ right now?
>>65948596
Only correct post
>>65952699
then fuck off to your comfy thread to feel better
/solved
DUDE WTF?
HOW DID YOU COMPRESS ALL THAT DOLPHIN PORN? HOLY SHIT I CAN'T DELETE IT EITHER.
>>65953848
underrated arithmetic
the quality is absolute shit. I cant do this! FUCK!
>>65956072
Just wait, apparently there might be an NPR first listen stream happening on thursday or friday.
>>65948596
Pretty much
Listened to the leak, quality is shit but the music is a solid 8/10
>>65956114
Psst...
Fri, not Thurs.
>>65948662
oooooooooh
I'm looking forward to hearing Saturday Night Inside Out again in decent quality.
>>65947715
>>65949050
Agreed.
>>65956244
It better not be Friday! I leave early that morning! Don't the NPR first listens always go up on Thursday anyway?
>>65957923
We're getting close now anyway, the scene might even leak it properly before then.
>>65956244
>friday
>tfw i'm seeing weezer friday night
kill me
>>65948662
Haven't seen a single person dislike Handsomeboy Technique on here. To that anon that posted the song Your Blessings on an Avalanches thread a few weeks ago, thank you. That album was very good
>>65947715
Well I guess that's a good thing, considering RAM was my AOTY for 2013.
>>65954050
of course it's bullshit
>in this thread people ass blast an incomplete shitty quality album, but defend their ass blasting by saying sound doesn't matter in music, it's just the sound that matters in music.
I'm not going to listen to it, so I don't know if it's shit, but I'll find out when I listen to it the way it was intended to be heard. You guys literally just shot yourselves in the foot.
>>65958181
haha you have to sit through panic at the disco while we listen to wildflower get fucked faggot
jk enjoy the weezer show. I missed out on the one where I live (resale tix are like $60 minimum for lawn now)
OP here. I wanted to give everyone a taste of the new album despite it being god awful quality. There are parts that have bad time signatures that don't match the full song, parts that don't transition properly and sound choppy, and it's literally in fucking mono. Let's go over what's missing here:
>Over the Turnstiles and Harmony is missing.
>Zap!, Going Home, Live a Lifetime Love, Kaleidoscopic Lovers, Saturday Night Inside Out, Wildflower, Livin Underwater is Somethin' Wild, If I Was A Folkstar, Colours is incomplete. They do not match their official time signatures and lack transitions/outros.
>Park Music is not actually Park Music, just a repeat of Wildflower.
Nobody should be treating this as anything close to a leak, rather something close to a shitty bootleg version of the album that I recorded thanks to some russians. Glad some of you enjoyed or didn't but calm the fuck down.
hey lets huury up and get a cd quality leak, mmmk?
>>65950732
http://downloadmoreram.com/
If you want to see the difference the audio quality makes
Here's the leak of If I Was a Folkstar from the same sources as these tracks (CDQ my ass)
http://www.hiphoprave.com/the-avalanches-ft-toro-y-moi-if-i-was-a-folkstar-cdq/
And the official audio
https://streamable.com/ce3l
>>65959107
The main difference is that the russian leak is mono which makes it sound like trash.
>>65958923
Thanks. I decided that patd was a necessary sacrifice to see weezer
>>65958932
We've got Turnstiles and harmony now
>>65948662
based solely on the track you embedded, this is really good and not even vaguely familiar. thanks anon
>>65959272
It's still incomplete and garbage quality. Unless you can fix transitions and find full songs (the russians intentionally mixed their stream so this would never happen) then my points still stand.
If any anon with a what account is feeling generous you should grab the album version of Frankie, Subways, and Colours in FLAC and post them here
I would do it if I didn't completely fuck up my what ratio a couple years ago
>>65958932
Look what you have done. Gaze upon the ruin you've created and breathe whatever breath you can. You are Hector behind the walls of Troy and I am Achilles. You doomed many a good man with your act today. Is this what you wanted?
>>65959379
Nigga I just wanted to share an album people were anticipating. I mostly mixed and compiled all this shit for myself and could've never released it. I've enjoyed it so far even in awful quality and only makes me want a full CDQ version more.
Someone ask Marcel for a good quality leak.
>>65959429
HECTOR!!!

The Worst Quality Leak of all Time.zip
http://www117.zippyshare.com/v/goE6LxWp/file.html
This has most of Turnstiles and Harmony is just awful. But it's all there.
Just wait until the NPR stream you fucking faggots
>>65959993
No shit
has a better quality leak been found?
>>65959429
HECTOORRRR!!
>>65960098
recorded straight from that stream a while back I assume?
>>65960098
you must be forgetting the painting with leak
>>65960470
>Painting With
>Everyone loves it despite shitty quality
>Reviews come out and everyone goes to hating it
>Wildflower
>Everyone hates this despite shitty quality
>Reviews come out and everyone goes to loving it
/mu/ is so predictable.
>>65960538
What're you even on? /mu/ was pissed at the redditor who leaked painting with because of its poor quality
>>65960538
>everyone loves it
i remember people were talking shit on it from the day the amazon samples leaked and were calling it boys latin the album
>>65960587
I remember people saying it was fantastic despite it being shit quality, then a 320 came out and it was spammed as possibly better than MPP or the equivalent to beach boys' surf's up.
>>65960655
Yeah, I was at that war zone. So many people said it was MPP 2.0 or Pet Sounds 3.0. Reviews came out and everyone shut the fuck up and the album drowned into obscurity.
I like it though, 7/10
>>65960655
it got shitposted around with pet sounds too, but that was just to annoy people, i remember it being very very divided on it being shit or good
im sure since you seem to care about it you only read the positive posts. but painting with was called their worst from the get go
>>65948662
still listening. really good
>>65960538
AHH it makes sense now
avalanches fans are the same autistic 16 year olds who like anco and browse here.
>>65960795
Yes, forgive us Lord of music, Patrician of the board and Father of Sound. May we one day have as impeccable of taste as you. Give us your top 3 favorite albums so we can learn, so we may bask in your glory.
>>65960287
Yeah.
>>65958932
underrated post
>>65959429
fucking hector
>>65959429
I get it. You were Hector and Troy was /mu/. You were trying to give back to /mu/ by dealing with a legend SILY (Achilles), but it was it's cousin, Wildflower, that you disgraced on the field. OP did no good deed here today lads, and Achilles wants his due.
Hector!
>>65947715
This is exactly what I've been thinking
You are all such miserable jaded fucks if you don't like Frankie Sinatra and Noisy Eater. They are great at being fun, summery, happy songs. Go listen to Radiohead or Slint you depressing cunt
>>65963214
Most of the people itt are shitposting just so you know
>>65963333
Did the Troy guy tip you off?
>>65963333
yeah, this is true.
Nice quads, dick
>>65948662
holy shit thanks anon
>Frankie Sinatra
>Not fantastic
Triple J is going to eat this shit up
prepare to hear this album for like 2 weeks straight ausfags
>>65951755
I'm not even sure it's that. No actual Avalanches fan would download a shit quality, incomplete 'leak'. After 16 fucking years, we can wait another week or 2.
Everyone shitting on it are just doing it for keks.
>>65963913
Frankie Sinatra came on the radio while dropping my sister off to school. I wanted to listen to it but I didn't want to sit in the car with my 12 year old sister while Danny Brown was repeatedly saying nigga. You'd think they would get a censored version to be playing at 8AM on weekdays.
