my number is catchy as fuck

Album Rating: 3.0

Total Life Forever has some great tracks but a lot of it seems to wash over me. Honestly, the entire second half feels like a complete non-event to me. [2]



Antidotes is still their best

ugh, this review is great and is going to complicate writing mine.

a few odd word choices here and there though:

but fails to develop into the fitting album closer it threatens to be

man i'm doing the bill cosby head bob

Thanks Gyro, and you're right man that does sound a bit angry and out of context. I'll change it.

Can't wait to review this.



This isn't nearly as much of an evolution as I'd hoped, it just seems like an extension on TLF. Which was great, which is why this earns a 4. The combination of Prelude and Inhaler really got my hopes up for a masterpiece though, which this doesn't deliver on. I think if they really committed to making this darker and heavier it would have been a 5.



And yeah, Late Night is definitely the Spanish Sahara. Oh, and TLF is a 4.5 even though it drops off so dramatically after This Orient. The first half is fucking incredible.

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah I definitely like this more than the first one. it's so good I might 4.5 later cause I get real giddy when I'm stoned and yeah imma get stoned.

i'm glad people aren't hating on "My Number" and seem to be just enjoying it for what it is. I love that track but was kind of fearing that it was gonna get this wave of hate.

Album Rating: 3.5

I think its just so god-dam groovy that it makes it impossible to hate on it.

It sounds like a Cold War Kids song or something (not a compliment) but I don't care cause it grooooooves and every once in a while you can hear his Aussie accent and it makes me barf and smile at the same time!

really good review mate pos from me

not sure whether i'll check this the guy's voice annoys me for some reason

I think it's the way he makes his O sound

OMG NEW FOALS I almost care.

actually I'm quite interested.

I haven't heard the single yet, I'll check it out. I enjoy foals, but not so much to be honest. If it's too hipster, it's not my cup of tea.

@TG Thanks bro, check "My Number" if nothing else, really infectious song.

antidotes is the best, agreed. The only foals album I actually own, not just streamed a couple of times.

@VC - yeah man i've heard it on the radio a few times and it was aight but yeah too much other shit to jam and never really got into these dudes so will prob skip the album, I'm only in here cos I always enjoy your reviews haha

Yeah, when I first heard about foals, it was oh, math rock! Now what they make is simply called hipster music.

they should prob add 'hipster garbage' to the sput genre bar yeah

Album Rating: 4.0

I still don't really get what someone means when they accuse something of being "hipster garbage." First thing that comes to mind is something like Vampire Weekend, but that's only cause they're popular and hip to mention during shitty sitcoms with Sarah Silverman. I mean I listen shit tonnes of "hipster music" so I guess I don't really see the tag as a negative.



tldr, this rules
