Captain Crieff Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I thought Afterlife already is a single, since it's regularly played on the radio here :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's a quasi-single, I guess. But it's bound to be official eventually. Based on what they're performing on TV show and what not, its seems obvious that what they consider as 'single material' is as follows: 1) Reflektor 2) Afterlife 3) Normal Person 4) Here Comes the Night Time edit: and by the way, am I the only one who thinks Supersymmetry is overrated? I mean, I like it but..... I don' know. lol I don't know what to say. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I think it's unimposing but gorgeous and elegant. It sort of sounds like Pink Floyd via Daft Punk but not devoid of soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Me too. :lol: That sparseness and the sounds of like wind or something give you the feeling you're flying in space... :wacko: You're right. Its good, but not on the same level as a handful of songs on the LP imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I still haven't made time to listen to the album again :| What's wrong with it, Tash? I'm curious. You weren't too fond of the new direction, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 What's wrong with it, Tash? I'm curious. You weren't too fond of the new direction, right? Reflektor (the song) is good but it started to annoy me after a bit (maybe because it's so long) and I didn't like the songs they played live before the album was released because the sound was so immensely different. There are a couple of songs I like (You Already Know/Afterlife) but I'm not blown away by the entire album and I rather listen to their first three albums.

I see :cry: Personally, I embraced the new direction. But yes I'd say their past three efforts were better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That piano riff though.... :\ I can't help but dance! :bliss: It's OK, the first part is too slow compared to the second part and there's so much going on, it sounds noisy. Maybe you need to have a drink and go crazy to enjoy it instead of sitting on the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to have a drink and go crazy to enjoy it instead of sitting on the couch. Who knows. Maybe Reflektor won't stand the test of time. I think there's a high likelihood that it will be remembered as just 'not their best' in 5 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Radio Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So am I here in minority? I think it's remarkable. Also probably one of the best home-alone one-man-dance-party albums ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great album, but it just doesn't quite have that story-telling quality to it that gives the other albums such longevity. Plus, I would say Joan of Arc, You Already Know, and Awful Sound are just not up to AF standards. It needs more refinement, more cohesiveness.
