Listening to it right now, it's ok. Slightly more interesting than Loveless I guess

 

^ Album's already been released, idk if the site is working yet but u can PM me for a download link

 

EDIT: yay site finally works

ooh god, what a beautiful record, easily 10/10 for me.

can confidently put it to my favourite albums just after one listen, which i last had with in rainbows.

favourite songs, anyone?

just woke up and listening to it now

 

and oh my god it's magnificent :loveshower:

Third track in and my soul is aflight.

It's still early but this album might break into my Top 10.... of All-Time. That's how good this album is - definitely worth the 22 year wait. I haven't been this elated to listen to an album since the release of The Beach Boys' The Smile Sessions.

 

Favorite songs: She Found Now, Only Tomorrow, If I Am, New You, In Another Way. Ask me tomorrow and this list might change.

What I've heard so far has a definite 90s sound. It's like a period piece actually, can't wait to relax and listen to the whole thing :)

definitely worth the 22 year wait.

 

How old are you? haha

just woke up and listening to it now

 

and oh my god it's magnificent :loveshower:

 

yeah, really! :dazzled:

can't believe that some people are disappointed with it :o

The reason I'm disappointed is that it took 22 years to make something that hardly sounds different from Loveless or their older stuff. I think that's really messed up?!

I really doubt the actual time involved in writing, recording, and producing adds up to 22 years. They basically broke up, lived their own lives, did side projects, picked up tennis, hiked Kilimanjaro, read Ulysses, and then when it was convenient for them, got together and played around. It's also pretty clear that Shields is chasing a certain ideal sound in his music that no one else quite aims for. I think it is a different, more refined animal than loveless, and I don't imagine that anyone expected or desired a stark change of genre.

As this post notes though, that's plenty of time to pick up new influences. You might expect it to be more different.

 

Not that it matters to me, though. A bloody fantastic record is still a bloody fantastic record, 22-year wait or not.

kevin shields is a freak

will somebody come to croatia to see them live with me? :(
