The title track was godawful imo (the video even worse), but then I don’t like PMDB either. I’m a Mind Fuzz, Float Along kind of fan.
I bought this and had totally forgotten it exists until now
the thrash one is alright, does what it does convincingly though it’s not exactly for me. Fishing For Fishies is pish though
Flying Microtonal Banana was great
I hadn’t really thought of that, but I think you’re right. The use of female guest vocalists by male bands was definitely a theme this year but American Football and Vampire Weekend managed it more convincingly than The National.
Thought this was a return to form after the patchiness of the one before, certainly up there with Taco and Slap Bass
think Lisa Hannigan would have been distinctive enough to carry the album on her own, but i can’t actually remember what songs she’s on
They can be a shout for this thread. Massive step down from modern vampires
Too bloated and overlong
Matron!
i only made it through about 3 songs on the VW album. sounded proper shite imo, though my friend keeps telling me it’s brilliant
Your friend is wrong. Really worked to get into it cause I bought live tickets before it came out but it was just a bit of a stinker
I watched their Glasto set on iPlayer and it felt a bit Dave Matthews Band
I liked I am the Ambulance but I actually though Nuance the musical was very good probably my second favorite, liked how it had a uniqness to it. I thought the addition of the strings really added something to the songs.
There’s a really good 45 minute long album in there somewhere but it is miles too long. More good songs than The National album though.
Disagree Agree
OK, on reflection maybe a really good 35 minute long album.
Forgot Tycho put an album out this year, think I listened to it once and said “nope”
Don’t get me wrong it was decent but it didn’t keep me coming back and I would be hard pushed to pick out a single track as memorable… Nuance was similar for me last year but it had some cracking stand outs
Slap Bass Hunks and Taco are still my faves
Interesting how this thread generates more replies than the aoty thread. You miserable fuckers😁
It had one good track, IMO
