Who would have thought t’Fork would give it a 9 ?

Hearing a lot of good things about this. Whereas the single hasn’t struck me as particularly different from anything else he’s done. @xylo was particularly impressed with what he heard.

Once I’ve finished re-listening to Bloc Party’s Four I’ll give the stream a go.

On first listen it sounds good. Perhaps nothing as magical as Calgary on there but enjoyed just about every track and he certainly hasn’t lost his ear for a beautiful melody.

Bit bemused by some of the reaction to this: people saying its a huge revolution in his sound, even seen the odd comparison to Kid A in there. Sure if you were to play this next to “For Emma” it’s much more electronic but I think it actually sounds like a pretty straightforward progression from S/T if you take into account the work he’s been doing in between

Got bored on track 3 to be honest and decided to listen to Raw Power instead.

Any update on what @xylo thinks of it?

I don’t think so @ma0sm but maybe you should ask @xylo directly?

However, @ma0sm I feel like @jordan_229 is the big-hitter whose opinions a sold-out audience would really listen to.

woah, 715 Creeks is amazing

It’s a fucking embarrassing pile of shite. The prick has just forgotten how to write a song and is covering it with production wankery.

He’s been sleeping in a stable, mate.

Still can’t get over ‘I’ve been sleeping in a stable mate’ and ‘fuckified’ appearing in the same song.

Somehow finished the whole thing, fucking great bants from yer man :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

When s/t came out, I waited a month for the dust to settle before listening to it. Judging by the contrasting reactions so far, that might also be a good ploy this time.

Apparently the lyrics are great, shame you can’t fucking hear them
