im not sure i have the same vibe. They went for a different route and i applaud them for that choice, even if i havent picked the last album in a long time nor i feel like it.

Janet leaving after the release of the album and an upcoming tour also says a lot about her.

[digster]

I think her response is pretty much "there's many sides to this, and I'm not getting involved in a back-and-forth that doesn't look good for anybody" - which is pretty much exactly what I would say, especially considering how icky some of that conversation got last time around. It's not the first time members of a band leave over creative differences, and won't be the last, so I wouldn't be surprised if they try to do whatever they can in interviews to avoid rehashing that.

[MadTIGERmaN]

I think they are both over it, and talking about it, and have moved on.

Hell, I'm even tired of hearing about it lol. Janet quit, they asked her to stay, she walked out.
I'm not listening to any of the songs they drop till the album comes out... I hate this whole "hey heres another new song, album out in 2 months" slow release

[bodysnatcher]

The only thing I could care less about than the Janet split is Sleater-Kinney in general

I put this in the NIN thread last night, oops.

Album's out. I've skimmed through, will actually listen tomorrow. What I'm hearing, I like. I was hoping for some hard rock and I'm not hearing that, but that's okay.

not a fan of the first song on this stream. Kinda hate how is shot too.

[verb_to_trust]

I don't want to mess up my algorithms by listening to this.

[Leatherhead]

I'll enjoy this, but still hope for something closer to the older SK next time.

[epilogue]

I really like this new record. It has such a cool vibe. It feels like a transitional record. I almost wish it had come out before No Cities to Love. I wonder if it would have worked better for some folks that way.

But I really dig it. I'm not sure where it'll land overall for me. But my first impression is strong.

[VinylGuy]

I only listened to the first song and i liked it...it kinda took me back to the first days of SK, were the guitars were the most prominent feature of this band..and the way they mixed their vocals...i guess when Janet came they really become this three monster type of band and im sure drums are not going to be something out of this world in this new album.

As someone who really liked the first two post-hiatus albums, I’m not really feeling this one yet. ‘Favorite Neighbor’ is the only one that’s really hitting the spot so far.

Some of the Corin songs sound very reminiscent of her solo records, which I liked, but guess it’s just not what I want from a S-K record. Here’s to hoping it’s a slow burner
