Agreed with Sowing and Hans. It's an excellent record, but not as gripping and impressive as LitD. Still one of my 2017 favs though, so many great moments.

I think this is a bit more of an atmosphere record than the previous two. It's not about moments so much as the overall feeling. That said track by track everything is a least worth 4 stars on its own imo and several of them are 5 star tracks (all of the singles except Up All Night) so really it's too consistent for me to not give a really high score.

Nearly ten listens in with this and I can't really tell any songs apart...which isn't really a problem as such...but it'll flatline at a 3.5/4 if that continues.
Really should have spun the singles in isolation.

The singles are the best songs here, and In Chains.

maybe I should do a playlist of just those for a bit to break up my listening a bit - the flow of this is almost too smooth

Yeah the drumming and pace of each song doesn't really help, very homogenous.

You hear homogeneous, I hear consistent atmosphere. It's a matter of interpretation.
I think this is an album you're not meant to over-intellectualize - just luxuriate in the sounds, let it envelop you.

To be fair, War on Drugs albums tend to plateau at a 4/5 for me. Slave Ambient has the best songs/variety but feels more slight than what followed, the next two have gone further and further into the wormhole marked atmospheric but also lost some variety and that ramshackle rough around the edges quality.
I'm at peace with all that, WoD do a job, there's a time I reach for them and they don't let you down. You don't turn up for surprises at this stage.

I think I was secretly hoping this was a surprise masterpiece in the new Fleet Foxes mold and would snatch a 4.5...but so far I'm thinking it's just going to end up another subtly different 'excellent' WoD album

Boney it absolutely has a consistent atmosphere and doesn't lack in any big way really, but I've been learning a lot of their songs on this and LitD on guitar and the rhythms, song structures, even the chords themselves are used over and over again frequently on here. In my opinion LitD had a little more going on in the songwriting overall, but this is honestly almost as good so I'm not really complaining that much. It'll be more disappointed if they repeat as much on a follow-up though.

Good album, but I'm not sure why the majority of the songs need to be over 6 min long
|
| |
this is pretty damn solid all in all.
However the real achievement of the record is that mix. the recording clarity and details are fucking stellar

The more I listen to this the more I love every single track, but yeah that song is absolute perfection. It might actually be my favorite song of the millennium.

I know it sounds funny but I'm being totally serious here. 11 of the greatest minutes of music ever conceived.

"I know it sounds funny but I'm being totally serious here. 11 of the greatest minutes of music ever conceived."
So you're saying a song you've heard for no more than a week is better than any song ever released in the last 17 years?

I first heard the song in April dude and have had it on vinyl since then.
Anyways, it's just my opinion, I'm not asking you to agree.
And Hans... Cover Me Up is also beyond incredible and I've known it a lot longer but...yes, I think it is.
