2018 New Music

[Mash011]

The 1975 are 3-for-3 on the 5-star reviews so far. 'Generation-defining masterpiece,' comparisons to OK Computer, you name it. If yr not on board at this stage you are basically pure gammon.

EDIT: Sorry, 4-for-4. Just seen the Q Magazine one too.

TOO TIME TOOT ME TIM ETO’O is actually such a great tune. I thought it was kinda vapid at first but it’s really good fun and quite groundbreaking for an indie pop outfit.

The other stuff hasn’t grown on a whole lot and I don’t think I’ll be as enamoured as these reviewers but I’m eager to hear this album

You're a lost cause if yr not on board with Love It If We Made It yet tbh, but yeah 2time is a mighty bop. Anyway I'm getting the 19752020 campaign started over in their own thread.

Yeah the BBC gammons use this excuse when they give Jordan Peterson and Steve Banon a platform as well. Me and my mates at antifa are coming for you.

Certainly not to the same extent. Mixed to positive for both, I believe. I'm sure they won't keep the perfect streak but it's hard to deny this will be a watershed moment for them. Certainly the snobby dads (of which we have plenty here, have a look at the reaction the thread I made for them is getting) are going to find it harder to handwave them as pop-music-for-girls after this.

Well I need to wait till melon and @dentalplan tells me to like it before I jump ship.

Funny how a bunch of posh gits from Wilmslow are being hailed as spearheading the anti-gammon movement.

Funny how gammonthy gammtano likes the band hailed as spearheading the anti-gammon movement.

He doesn't.

Since we don't have a 2018 Break Ups thread - Spring King have broken up, including cancelling upcoming tour dates. Sudden, that. They were never anything massively special but I thought they were fun.

First listen to the new Can't Swim just done, it goes hard. Get it while it's hot, emo kids.

Never heard of these till now but thanks for the heads up on this, it does indeed bang.

[SwedgeAntilles]

NME called the album the 'millennial answer to OK Computer'.

The same publication that once said Pink was the new Madonna.

'felt like a disservice to the music tand to all of you if our hearts weren't fully in it'

Yeah I can see the 15 year old fans that turned up to see Rectifier would be gutted if their hearts weren't fully in it.

I forgot about this, been too busy with itoldyouiwouldeatyou instead. I love their EP but wasn't keen on their first album but I'll give this a go later.

Also itoldyouiwouldyoueat's album is good. Worth a listen if you like The World Is A Beautiful Place...

As it happens, I do really like No Longer Afraid To Die & the lads so I'll be on that.

[kalifire]

Mansa Musa with guest appearance by Dre? Yes please.

By the way, the new Weezer song was kinda skipped over in the announcement of a Glastonbury-adjacent show.

I think this album will be worse than Pacific Daydream.

Yeah I thought we were all just choosing to pretend this didn't exist. Truly terrible, although at least now it's more or less what I expect from Weezer. Anything more would be a bonus.

New single just dropped. Album due in Feb and tour in March. Wouldn't mind this on the farm!

Christ, there aren't many 2-word combinations that strike terror to the heart quite like 'Weezer reggae'.

Was at Heartbreakers the other night for The Blinders, some serious sound issues and pretty sure I've had that happen before there, couldn't seem to get the balance right and kept maxing out. Shame because its a really cool venue, may become my favourite in the area if they sort the sound. Will check that out though, think I'm free Saturday night.

 

moving on, the new HMLTD track is seriously reminding me of Confidence Man. Not sure about it yet though, enjoyed death drive but need to give this one a few more listens.

I was there for the Blinder's and thought they were great; similar to Cabbage and I think I preferred them to Idles. Though support act, Moses were great fun; I'd see them again.

He's bringing it back here. Thought some of his 2018 stuff was sketchy but this is promising for the album.

 

 

Was dropping by to post this. Not so bad but not really feeling it.
