If you enjoy this, I highly recommend checking out Radiant Dawn by Dan Boeckner's other project Operators. Fantastic synth driven indie album.

Vocals hold this back quite a bit for me. Feels almost gothic, a total mismatch from the music. Either the music needs to be darker or his vocals need to be more melodic and upbeat, not sure which. I did enjoy the instrumental contributions quite a bit - particularly the guitars. They feel unafraid to experiment with sounds which is awesome. This is my first Wolf Parade album so I could be off-base with these assessments, but it's just my first impression. Could probably be as low as a 2.5 or as high as a 3.5 depending on how this grows on/off me.

Sowing - Sunset Rubdown and Moonface are a bit more experimental and often a better fit with Krug's vocals





You realise it's two different singers/song writers here right?

Besides that sometimes talent betrays ambition.

Vocals grow on you

Doof, I swear I'm calling the police on you if you keep insinuating any Sunset Rubdown album is better than Wolf Parade

Frog eyes are better than both.

Sunset Rubdown = Krug's best moments on Wolf Parade albums with the training wheels taken off let's be real



and the other dude's song writing is a bit of a sub-Arcade fire/Springsteen-ian non-event c'mon

I don't understand the Arcade Fire and Modest Mouse comparisons for this band. The similar moments are brief. Is it just because of Isaac Brock's involvement?

I heard more Bowie on their debut. Perhaps it's Arcade Fire channelling Bowie : )

Another great album from these guys. Glad this reunion is proving to not be fleeting

I try to not compare Sunset Rubdown and Moonface to WP but I will agree that Spencer shines more vocally in those projects vs. In WP. It's all so good though

"It's all so good though"

This is an agreeable statement, thanks for talking us down.

You're still wrong though doof.

As Kind As You Can actually kinda rules

I was pretty sold on this by the end of Julia Take Your Man Home.

@ProjectFreak Really dig that one, with better lyrics it'd probably be my favorite.



@WatchItExplode get a rating on this then, sir

Kind of impressed this jumped into trending albums for a bit, but I know it's probably gonna drop off once it gets updated.

Still, impressed.

To quote Wolf Parade's 2020 album Thin Mind and no other piece of media: "Like tears in rain..."

Album Rating: 4.0

Settling in on that good ol' Wolf Parade 3.5 average.

The curse remains.
