well it is an outtake from dead petz and was originally a faster, more upbeat song that they didn't like and got bored with

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

but we can agree that america kicks major ass

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

America's great



a bit let down by On Lankershim and On a Hill being a bit short and on the underdeveloped side



starts strong, middle kinda drags, last two songs are strong



solid 4 tbh

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

also wtf how is there still 2 ratings for it even though it's been leaked for over a week?



Star Power must've really killed them

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

it's a brief but solid record, i just love the glam rock revivalism and the shades of fleetwood mac and what not, album is unbelievably lush.



also yeah dude i don't know i hope it gains due attention. i never gave star power a full listen, is it interesting enough to go through?

Album Rating: 2.5

I'm planning to check the Foxygen (mostly due to Fripp's hype tbh) but I don't listen to leaks. I didn't listen to ...And Star Power but it was pretty much universally panned which will definitely end up hurting them in the future.

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

it has some solid songs on it, but it's overly drawn out and France/Rado kinda just sound bored on a good deal of it



it's their attempt at aping Todd Rundgren (especially his Something/Anything? record, which follows a similar format)



Hang kinda sheds the psych pop stuff for American theater, vaudeville, glam

France really sounds like he's trying to be Mick Jagger and Tim Curry on a lot of it, and it ranges from being great to annoying but it works in context of the album and the arrangements.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

i'd still like to see if there was something worthwhile to it for myself but i also don't wanna waste my time

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

just check the singles from it and you'd be fine



as well as the song they did with the flaming lips on that record, check that as well

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

i might tackle star power tonight yeah. and fuck i love his vocals on this record, he totally channels jagger

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

Avalon is probably my favorite because it sounds like a third rate Rocky Horror tune that goes way overboard on sounding like some rag time nonsense, but it's catchy (and possibly rips off "Baby Love" for its chorus)

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

my fav is probably america because of the heavy theatrical buttfuckery, but it's all pretty slick

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

as long as you agree On a Hill is by far the weakest song on the album



really what was the point of that song, it really came across as a underdeveloped showtune meant to be a segue into Trauma (though if they stuck with the slight sinatra vibe the first thirty seconds of it had, it would've been cool)

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

the song symbolizes my one complaint i have about the record at large and it's just that a few tracks feel undercooked and it's a really short record, like really fucking short. i want the ambition of star power with the sound of hang.

Album Rating: 2.5

Based on what you guys are saying it sounds like I'm either going to adore or detest Hang, I can't really tell which lol I'm excited to hear it though

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

I really fucking hate musicals and Hang is like a big flamboyant musical (well, the band actually described it as going to Disneyland)



i don't know what to tell you man (plus it's like 32 minutes)
