Ah, thanks guys. I was hoping for something to get for free off Apple Music but will just torrent it later.

 

What I have heard of the record is fucking excellent. Particularly 'Cause I'm a Man..... classic.

 

Pretty much nailed on I would say for next year. I am going to call it now and say Park Headliner

hmmm not really feeling this new album at all. the four singles released thus far are far and away the best things on here - everything else is very MOR and forgettable. one of those albums where, come the next album tour, i feel only one or two will make the setlist cut and the rest will be put to bed and forgotten about. shame. 'Cause I'm A Man is still an absolute belter tune, mind

Just another case of a band following up some success with a divisive disco album. You've got to wonder why they keep doing it. :P

 

the moment i see the term 'we put down our guitars and used more synths' in an interview for any upcoming album i should just lessen my expectations there and then. it's almost inevitable with any band like this, and it's almost never good

I think you need to wait a few days. I hated 'Let it Happen' when it first came out.

 

Not really getting a 'Lonerism' vibe from anything on this album, not saying that's a bad thing, but it'll certainly scare off the 'Elephant' crowd. I am sure it's good, I trust Kevin Parker. I will wait until the weekend when I've listened to it ten times before I have a proper opinion.

Given it a fair few listens now and I think it's OK and nothing more.

 

Pitchfork review has dropped and they've slapped a 9.3 on it (Lonerism and Innerspeaker got 9 and 8.5 respectively) so they have it on level pegging with Kendrick, Sufjan and Jamie XX.

 

Stream here if you haven't heard yet.

Pitchfork are a bunch of c**ts. This album is good, but it isn't as good as Lonerism.

 

Perhaps with time I'll believe it is though, not ruling that out. But Pitchfork are still c**ts.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
