Foals

[DropBeat]

Cracking album! Really hope they turn up at the farm.

Incredible gig last night. The band were on it, the crowd were on it. Knew I'd love the album after hearing a few of the new songs live, and its proven to be true. Will have to give it a few more listens, but could definitely be in contention for their best album.

Then we get part 2 later this year! We really are spoilt.

Best album I have heard in 2019 so far....hope to see them on the farm.

[JSmurphy]

Loved it!

Can we get them instead of the Killers headlining the Pyramid?

Yeah, definitely. Worth adding that Yannis said part 1 was vibey (or some similar word, can't remember) and part 2 is bangers. Hopefully that indicates a conscious style split and not just the leftovers on part 2.

Well if yer man doesn't consider part 1 to be full of bangers, Lord knows what's going to happen to my speakers when I stick part 2 on them later in the year 

[aidenlangan95]

My main thought now is once part 2 is out, what songs are out of the live show?! Because last night’s set list was basically perfect.

[sisco]

Please let there be a Secret JP set! 

[Stuielooie]

So jealous of everyone that went last night. Hoping for a banquet records gig for pt 2.

Not sure how likely it would be, as Stormzy is being bumped up, but it does seem like Foals' moment.  Who knows, maybe Stormzy's album will drop and it will be an absolute banger too and both of them will smash a Pyramid headline slot

I tell you what though, I absolutely hate the bullshit of people sitting down for the first half of Spanish Sahara. Piss off.

[Havors]

Have to say its works really well as an album.... and its only part 1.... 

I have enjoyed all their albums tbh but I could understand peoples reservations. This is a great listen.... it weridly plays like one great big song quite seamlessly.

Is that a thing now? Or was that just last night?

Last time I saw Foals before last night was TTLF (2010) days and definitely nobody was doing that then. Very weird. Almost considered how easy would be to just walk over and get front row while they all sat/knelt on the very clean and not wet floor...

As everybody else has said, this album slaps hard. 

Too early to say, but could be their best album. 

I reckon you’re right.

It's been happening for quite a few years. People often start it but it doesn't always catch on at every gig. Last night it was a fair number with some shouting "sit down" to others. I was unfortunate to be in the sit down area. Should have just stood up in the middle of them all.

Same thing happens with Fire by Kasabian now too, when it never did when they played it the first couple of years.

It's just shit.

[Wilfko]

To be fair to the fans who sit down, it was the Band themselves who started it as a thing.

[SwedgeAntilles]

It's all James' fault

Yannis used to get people to sit down at the start of the song during Holy Fire era

I’m sure people sat down later in the song before so the whole bit on the floor wasn’t as painfully long as it was last night.

[found home in 2009]

Enjoyed my first listen of album. Stand out songs for me were In Degrees and Sunday

Interested to hear @thewayiam‘s thoughts on the album

It's because we're all a few years older now and need a mid-set sit down.
