07.09.18 | Im not even kidding Bradley Fighting Vehicle feels straight off the Satellite Years. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | You hear that hovering? What's a planet to a moon. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | Album of the decade. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | Gosh golly no one cares? |
Prancer
07.09.18 | considering the album comes out on the 13th no one else has heard it |
botb
07.09.18 | I canāt wait for my preorder to come and I legit think this band has two 5 records but settle down with the fanboying yo haha |
BlackwaterPork
07.09.18 | How have you heard this? |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | I own the vinyl. |
Space Jester
07.09.18 | My CD is in Jacksonville, four hours away from me. Hopefully that means Iāll get it tomorrow |
DungeonBoy
07.09.18 | Satellite Years was a good record |
JayEnder
07.09.18 | You lucky fucker. Thereās nothing I want more in life atm than to hear this whole thing. And just hearing you say such good things about somehow makes me even more excited |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | There are mother fuckinh opening and closing guitar riffs to songs songs that sound produced to be exactly like Satellite Years. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | Paying $10 for priority shipping was well worth it |
DungeonBoy
07.09.18 | love the enthusiasm |
kris.
07.09.18 | my vinyl shipped friday but tracking says it won't be here til next friday kill me hahaha |
onionbubs
07.09.18 | gonna snag on kingdomleaks after revisiting their discog. donāt really feel their music aside from the three singles dropped here which are all godly |
Groundking
07.09.18 | Bradley Fighting Vehicle is amazing agreed. |
Slex
07.09.18 | T/T has to be the most anticlimactic closer ever smh, tentatively disappointed with the album on first couple listens unfortunately |
JayEnder
07.09.18 | Thatās a shame. Still excited |
Slex
07.09.18 | Its still amazing! Don't wanna kill any hype, just not quite what I personally expected I think |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | Yes there's quite a difference between a 4.5 and a 5 but for me this is such a hard 5 or 6 |
Storm In A Teacup
07.09.18 | Title track reminded of the new Senses Fail album and then Jay sung the line "senses fault" and my mind was blown |
Comatorium.
07.09.18 | Albums god tier I think |
Gyromania
07.09.18 | If I thought all their other albums were music for 14 year olds, would I dig this? |
Relinquished
07.09.18 | you have that inner 14 year old in you so you should |
Comatorium.
07.10.18 | Itās way more mature and past that kind of music tbh. It has influences from their past but itās a different beast entirely. You can tell theyāre well over a decade older. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Indeed. If it were like their old stuff I wouldn't 5 it even though they are 5s. This is a true modern day 5 for me. |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | watch Anthony Fantano rip it to pieces |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Watch Anthony Fantano never review it and not even bother to include it in a why you no review. |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | probs |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | He doesn't listen to that genre of music so idk why it would even be a possibility. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Only if it were a 5 outside of its genre would it be something he should review. It's certainly a 5 in its genre and a 4.2 minimum outside of it but idk about a 5 |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | ehhh he reviews this kinda stuff from time to time tbh
album is solid btw, though the first song is the best one so far |
Slex
07.10.18 | 100% agree that opener is the best here (think it's their best song in general) |
Relinquished
07.10.18 | idk about their best song in general but it's definitely up there
glad they came back strong and fresh like this, rare for me to be blown away like that |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | tbh there wasn't really a whole lot on here that really blew me away. It's kinda what I expected from them in the first place, a solid post-hardcore/post-rock album. They've got all the tricks up their sleeve with this album but nothing else really.
Still though, solid album regardless. |
Slex
07.10.18 | What really disappoints me is Jay's performance, it just feels a bit flat to me when it comes to the cleans/melodies. In no way does he sound bad, but he's either just kinda moaning along to an atmospheric chorus or singing in the same upbeat tone in all of the verses. I feel like there's a lot of the distinct character his voice had on Magnetic North missing from this album |
Frivolous
07.10.18 | you gave it a 4 sir |
Slex
07.10.18 | I am aware of that, I love everything else about the album (altho I dislike the final track) |
Frivolous
07.10.18 | im so tired |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Pretty sure you're all forgetting how Jays performance on albums has to grow on you |
Slex
07.10.18 | I dunno, I've said a couple times in the MN thread, that's straight up my favorite vocal performance of any album, it seemed like he had a lot more variety and range in his melodies on there. That being said, I could see this growing on me more, I was just hoping for something a little more ambitious and expansive like Faint Object Camera |
Gyromania
07.10.18 | Listened to 3 songs and they were all pretty generic sounding. Lol at this blowing up on sputnik of all places. Is it 2007 again? |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Adam Morgan said in a recent interview this album started before the 2011 reunion show. 4 songs were finished by then except without vocals. |
onionbubs
07.10.18 | this is their best work
production has always held this band back from really wowing me and now they have that so ya this rules |
JayEnder
07.10.18 | hype hype hype hype hype |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Getting my second full listen now that im off work |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | "In the middle of the wild lies a man who cries over the loss of a disc world Omnia, this is all. This is everything" |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Closed my eyes while listening to Aphelion and I'm pretty sure my body levitated for half a second. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Pretty sure last two tracks To Bloom and Arbiter both count as the closer together based on lyrics and mood of To Bloom. |
Slex
07.10.18 | Aphelion is sublime yeah |
Slex
07.10.18 | That works so much better as a closer, I can listen now and think of Arbiter as an epilogue and not the climax |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | And oh my god there's so much lyrical candy here. Fucking references Far Pavillions |
Space Jester
07.10.18 | So would you say this has a good balance of dreamy spaciness and screams and riffs? |
JayEnder
07.10.18 | Iām legitimately jealous Storm. |
SteakByrnes
07.10.18 | Just go to kingdom leaks Jay |
JayEnder
07.10.18 | My friend is borrowing my laptop atm, idk if you can download from kl on mobile : / |
Slex
07.10.18 | Yeah I got the kingdomleaks dl lol it's HQ |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | oh my god this is an actual lyric on "To Bloom"
"escape pod for intangibles"
yes jester, an excellent mix |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | I know Jay, should have paid for that priority shipping XD |
Space Jester
07.10.18 | Fingers crossed hoping mine gets here tomorrow |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | there is so much happening on all of these songs it's overwhelming. I Catapult and C.S. Lucky One...wow |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | To Bloom
"Made unaware, to then be led, and segregated
Some of us are, all for nothing but a home
And to feel it in our bones
(an) Anti-hero of our own space
I guess the transmission is gone
Just force yourself to wait
You settle for the face of an arbiter
Not tempered by fault if ever alone
Ever alone, falter through
You stare out into something beautiful
When the honest save their own honorable souls
And to wait inside our hearts
Where amazement blooms
And to be inside our home
An escape pod for intangibles
A two moon endeavor
An incredible sun awaits
Where's your soul
You unprincipled, unintentional, good for less than
Downturn force pressure
From where there's just this incredible threshold
When to make amends with a forgotten nation that
I've never seen before never be known
Share our hopeless endeavor
Under far pavillions be known, anti-hero
When the honest save their own honorable souls
Where amazement is to bloom
You'll be alone
The anti-hero of our own space" |
Relinquished
07.10.18 | and far pavilion reference m/ |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | right? 6/5 |
bananatossing
07.10.18 | hopesfall is truly one of a kind. nobody else does shit like this is all i have to say for now |
Rowan5215
07.10.18 | yo this opening track good lord almighty |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | it's the best song on the album tbh |
Toondude10
07.10.18 | in the meantime though, new Thrice album announced |
Teal
07.10.18 | Iām really liking what Iām hearing so far. This feels like a mix of Magnetic North and A-Types. Second half of āTunguskaā takes me on a FEELtrip and Iām legitimately sad that āAphelionā is so short. Whatās up with Hopesfall writing A+ interludes? Canāt wait to sit down and give this more spins. I hope the band keeps writing new material! |
Space Jester
07.10.18 | Hope Thrice can recover after their boring as fuck previous album
My Hopesfall CD is arriving anytime now so I hope you all arenāt overhyping this lol |
Rowan5215
07.10.18 | Thrice rollout is an absolute mess haha they can't even get their damn site to load but bundles are still selling out? album will be a 3 anyways |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Jeez this album is amazing. Split perfectly in two sides as well |
JayEnder
07.10.18 | Favorite song overall Storm? |
Space Jester
07.10.18 | I have to be at work in 30 minutes and the mail hasnāt come ā¹ļø |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Five way tie between I Catapult CS Lucky One Drowning Potential Faint Object Camera and HA Wallace Space |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | After 4 playthroughs |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | Those are 5s. Tunguska is a 5 as well. The others are 4.7s and 4.8s |
Storm In A Teacup
07.10.18 | I need to remember the album is not even officially out yet so that I understand my disappointment in the lack of ratings is atm unnecessary |
hogan900
07.11.18 | album is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
Observer
07.11.18 | Album's okay. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.12.18 | Dont understand how less than half a dozen people can be a "sput hype machine". It's like donald trump coming up with make america great again. Doesn't make sense and the people coming up with the phrase should be ostracized from society if they can't learn to be unaffected by others own business and opinions. It's not butthurtness, it's an evaluation. |
hogan900
07.13.18 | FACTS |
hogan900
07.13.18 | If anything Rolo Tomassi was the closest we got to a sput hype train this year |
onionbubs
07.13.18 | "album artwork of the year"
this ain't the senses fail thread bro but this is probably second
really really good year for album covers so far |
Storm In A Teacup
07.13.18 | Agreed on that last point but not the first |
Storm In A Teacup
07.15.18 | oh hey! I didn't have to receive any clap-back from disappoint in the album! It really did live up to the hype |
