Hunger of The Pine wasn't too good either. Well actually it was alright, but that Miley Cyrus sample ruins it for me

if it wasn't miley cyrus would you mind less?



just curious because a lot of people seem to have this attitude and it absolutely baffles me

No of course not. The sample is really abrupt, sounds out of place and does nothing but clog up the song. Miley's voice is alright, but I just wish they used the sample better

i think the sample works ok but the drum programming is very stiff and doesn't really fit with the previous minute or so at all

Considering the drumming on this, it was pretty average for both singles so far. I think the pressure may have gotten to them, especially since Gwil left

i'm holding out hope though, hunger of the pine has a lovely melody and crappy percussion aside is a

pretty great song, sounds a lot like late talk talk in parts

When I first heard it, I thought it had a great atmosphere but it doesn't even seem to know where its going. Yeah, I didn't like about 5 songs on this and they were among the more popular ones (Matilda, Something Good) so I'm in the same boat.



Still kinda excited for it

Couldn't agree more. Hunger of the Pine is alright, but that sample kills it

True. I've kinda lowered my expectations for it too, which could be a good thing in the long run

hunger of the pine is sweet though, i'd be shocked if they could top this, or make another hit like fitzpleasure or breezeblocks

Breezeblocks, Taro, Intro. I'd be amazed too. The lead singer said that after Gwil left there was tonnes of pressure from everyone for the next LP, so I think that'll show in in the songs and it won't be anywhere near as good

Of course. I see them having at least one song which will be in my top 10 and I'm very hopeful.



I don't think it'll ever beat this though

This is the kind of album that's always hard for young bands to follow up. I'm not expecting anything great.
