Sounded really promising on first listen. Very early-mid period Modest Mouse in places, who have always been an influence since TDAG but maybe never this strongly. The last three tracks are so strong, and agree that the second half sounds stronger than the first at the moment. No Control is such a jam. Also how much does the start of Waste sound like Disarm?!
Bracing myself for ticket hell in less than half an hour…
So it’s definitely gonna need to grow on me from the first couple of listens. Seems back-heavy but there’s some great moments on there for sure. Definitely closer to Daisy than TDAG from early impressions and that’s no bad thing as Daisy grew on me a ridiculous amount with time.
Slightly concerned about the amount of tracks that sound a bit like you’d hear them in a bible belt dive bar on a crime show where the singer is wearing a cowboy hat and there seems to be some kind of line dancing in the background though…
Keep refreshing ticket chasers, these things nearly always say they’ve sold out and then transactions don’t go through or whatever, there’s usually a period where the odd one pops back up on Ticketmaster or what have you.
No luck. Part of the problem is I can’t really keep refreshing or trying for ages when I’m at work. Should have been organised enough to get someone else to try as well, really
Didn’t get that vibe from Daisy for whatever reason, hope it passes here as well as it’s an aesthetic (musically and visually) that I really don’t get on with in the slightest.
I also got up early to get the CD/download to listen to today. Only had one cursory listen on the way to work so only in passing on a noisy train but initial impressions are it sounds closer to TDAG and Daisy with some slow tracks as well.
