Really tried with Snares, but it just did nothing for me.

Think Snares Like A Haircut is my second fave after Nouns.

Weirdo rippers too low imo. But each to their own.

You have to have a very high IQ to understand An Object

lol - this reminds me of an interview where ASAP Rocky or someone was asked to respond to criticism of his album and mournfully, patiently explained that it was made for ‘guys who get pussy’ and that guys who didn’t would just never understand.

The Wives album holds up too (for those who might not know - the band No Age were in before)

A 10/10 on DiS no less!

Don’t really rate the new records because they just lack that space-in-between emotion of the early albums.

I know everyone has one of these stories, but I finally got my ‘I saw them with about nine other people in the venue!’ yarn from No Age. they did an Australian tour last year which seemed a bold move, but of all the cities to do two gigs in, Perth was one. me and my girlfriend walked from my house in South Fremantle, over the traffic bridge, to North Freo to a venue that had about eight metres from stage-to-bar. it was still absolutely dead. most of the crowd was the support band who were the fellas who work down my local.

Afterwards I bought a copy of Everything In Between and paid them direct to their paypal. they were really nice fellas. think we were the only actual fans there. spoke about how Colin Greenwood used to go to a heap of their shows and wear their tees but they never liked Radiohead. asked them to scribble in the book that came with the LP and left with a heap of ‘I’ve just gone vegan’ type call-to-arms.

Yep, love this album - the immediacy of all the songs, sounds like they’re trying to finish them as soon as they start them, just a caterwaul of noise and destruction in short sharp bursts.

Weirdo Rippers is their best, they’ve never quite recaptured or revisited stuff like Escarpments sadly

#112

Weirdo Rippers has been taken off Spotify for some reason

#113

Fuck, it’s the one album I don’t have on LP too. (I do have some of the EPs it’s compiled from though.)

#114

Only 3 albums on there :triumph:

Drake rolls this out with an incredibly clunky line on ‘Lord Knows’

Know that I don’t make music for n----- who don’t get pussy
So those are the ones I count on to diss me or overlook me

‘no, u’

I think low placing of Nouns and Weirdo Rippers are probably cause I was late on the No Age bus joining the party with Fever Dreaming…fear not…I shall revisit them in light of above comments - though I absolutely love the 1-3 above so would be surprised to see them beaten

Always interesting to me that sometimes if you get into a band late then the latter albums remain your favourites, whereas with other bands in time you end up preferring the fan favs.

With Mountain Goats I feel like you do with No Age, in that I became a fan with All Eternals Deck, so never quite love the early 4-track stuff as much as others do

Went back to An Object yesterday and enjoyed it a lot, bar ‘Lockbox’. Much better album than I remembered, a more ambient, low key No Age release than others.

Think this is why I really rated An Object too. Really dig their quieter moments so when things do let rip on that record, they really knock it out of the park!

I reckon C’Mon Stimmung is a top 3 No Age ripper. I was so excited when they announced An Object with that as the lead single. Ended up getting an album that sounded nothing like it obviously.

‘I’m stilll…ALRIIIIGHT’
