!!!

fanning my face and crying

gonna wait for mediafire

300,000,000 reviews in the next 5 minutes

Listened to it earlier today. Wasn't terrific. =/

i'll be waiting for that leak as well

now Cymbals Eat Guitars needs to release their new album and i'll be reliving 2009

I've only listened once, but this didn't really do much for me unfortunately.

it's good.
not sure if it's anything much more than that.

Ohmygodicannotfuckingwaittogetoffwork

But the posts above are making me nervous.

never heard of this band are they new

They released a fantastic album in 2009 Kill called Hospice. You should check it out. Way better than
this. This is kinda 2 to 3 territory.

^ i find that hard to believe based on the two songs i've alreayd heard

It's just my opinion and I've only listened to it twice too. Maybe it's just yet to click with me but without songs that really grip you, this is such a quiet and conserved album. Nothing really happens in it.

Listened to it last night. No way near a two. I'd say 3.5-4.

After two listens that's how I feel Xenophanes. =/
The album doesn't really 'do' anything.

So do I. I really like The Antlers as both people and musicians. =/

This record provoked no emotions, left no hooks nor was I impressed by any unique sounds.

The first half was great..The second half was just good.

I just wished for 'some' pop tunes like early The Antlers or like Bear.

I knew that there was very little way this would live up to Hospice, and wasn't by any means looking
for another "sad" album. But I was hoping that it would still be amazing rather then good... Maybe it
just needs a few more listens...

sup /mu/

Have you listened to this yet Jim?

Just finished listening to 'Hounds'... Hated it haha. So far the rest of the album is pretty good.

I really liked that at first listen!
gonna listen to it a second time now and enjoy

Putting the dog to sleep rules so does Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out, I wouldn't say there's anything here I dislike it's just that some of it is a little more forgettable. Just my two cents after first listen.

"Inb4 people bitch about how this doesn't make them cry like Hospice did"

yeah, so true. I hate people.

never heard this band

that's not going to change today

so many reviews to write, so little time.

i get chills from corsicana. mmmm

People are looking for something incredibly moving and that's why the full effect of this album won't hit them.

It's essentially the opposite of Hospice, relaxed where the other was cathartic. Just stop looking for that huge musical hit to the face and listen, and it'll find you

This is really good.

nice, wanna get this

That last track was devastating.

I'm gonna build myself up for this by waiting for the leak

ugh "putting the dog to sleep", i feel like a masochist just listening to this

argh downloaded the live version

@myhigherpie
Well put. I think the same people who don't like this will also dislike the new Bon Iver. Here's the thing...Justin Vernon and Peter Silberman aren't in the same place emotionally as they were when they wrote "For Emma" or "Hospice". And I'm sure they wouldn't want to be. So enjoy what they do next without comparing it to the prior release, which you know they'll never be able to duplicate, and I'm sure you'll like it just fine. "Hospice" is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time, and so far I love "Burst Apart". Just in a different way.

Porkchop speaks the truth. It's like trying to compare the Mona Lisa to The Last Supper. While painted by the same man, they are wholly different works of art evoking disparate feelings.

first listen wasnt that impressive, but it sounded like a solid rock record. waiting for the leak

their first album was like a 2.5 and if you guys say this is worse it's got to be really bad

I don't think anybody has mentioned their first album.

I like that they're consciously not trying to create a second Hospice. It would just be really disappointing.

That being said, this is really good. I wish I had lyrics, because that's what really sold me on Hospice. Right now this is just sounding like well written, heartfelt, art rock/indie pop. More groove based, and really chill. I'd imagine that if you listened to Hospice, you could listen to Burst Apart to sort of "recover".

Oh, and Parentheses is the best song Radiohead never wrote.

I like this because it doesn't make me want to cry...

Is that so wrong?

i might like this better than hospice
come at me

If i though Hospice was 3.5-4 territory, how is this?

I need to check this out. Even if it's not as good as Hospice, I can't imagine they produced anything that wasn't atleast slightly good.

lol

very wonderfull
