"You HAVE TO see Sleigh Bells live. Regardless of your opinion on listening to the them at home, they CRUSH it live. Seriously - their art can't be properly enjoyed on headphones or big home speakers - you need a massive professional sound system in order to appreciate what they actually do with their art. They are not just making little pop songs with a rock edge - they are truly experimenting with what's possible in Noise/Pop. I've seen them 8 times now and they never fail to fully melt your face.
Sleigh Bells is my favorite band and they knock it out of the park with "Texis". I think it's by far their most cohesive and best album in years (since Reign of Terror). Give it a listen and GO THEM LIVE!"
whatever you say mr. billboard!

Do these dudes have additional song writers on the payroll because if not this album is a real whip away the towel look at the shrivelled cock moment for the pop ‘industry’.
Consistency of the tunes here is unreal. Like them all now, chorus of ‘Locust Laced’ the closest to a meh moment remaining for me at this stage. ‘Hummingbird Bomb’ is such a great closer.

Also the other ‘subversive’ pop acts with rock guitars like Poppy and Babymetal should be relegated to Tik Tok videos only after this

Somehow I’m thinking the intentions of both artists aren’t all that aligned Johnny
I’m sort of resisting it/sort of trying to work out if it is worth returning to - it took me 50 listens to start liking Garden of Delete to a satisfying degree and this could be similar
I did go through a Clarence Clarity month where I thought he was a bright white hope but now I wince at the memory and I don’t want to go down that path again

now is a rogue time start nodding after artistic intentions; sometimes a similar sense for hook incorporation speaks louder than palette or performance
certainly caters to more similar thrills to this than clarence clarity, who i also have limited affection for

the 3 mins of research i just did says idk but discogs needs a page for this
but they have a history of using additional songwriters iirc? so i'd imagine so

This is the first album I've checked since Treats.

This is pretty wacky

'but they have a history of using additional songwriters iirc? so i'd imagine so'
money well spent then, I imagined so - hard to write five or six great pop choruses like on here
if they wrote the entire things themselves I felt it would have been a bit of a freakish thing
be interested to know who eventually, Lady Gaga should get in touch if she doesn't know them

Ghandi, the typical NIN bit towards the end of 'Justine Go Genesis' is blatant, good tune though imo
Seems Trent backed the wrong fem vox pop act to produce in Halsey

"They trying to be NIN now"
gonna play the lesser of two evils card and defer to all of Doof's OPN comparisons as of rn (which in fairness i can kinda feel in a couple of specific parallels, though not over the whole thing)
|

I retract my statement, cause Treats also has NINness

The acoustic guitars on 'Rosary' are a goofy thing to put in there...but they work. Microcosm of the album.

random af acoustic guitar placements have been a legacy of kookpop ever since crj - making the most of the night
"I retract my statement"
