It's much better than Wrigley but I still don't know how much I'll end up liking it.harmless wrote:You can just get rid of FD, knowing this album was originally meant to be 11 tracks.theplatypus wrote:Well, that was interesting. Look forward to revisiting this when it's out. "My Father's Son", "Pendulum" and "Swallowed Whole" are pretty cool.
I don't mind FD at all, but wow, two thirds through it becomes too big. And I really don't see the point of *ending* the guitar part, leaving a gap, and then the piano starting... I thought that was stupid at Wrigley. People had started clapping and then BoB...

It feels like the album is going into a great new territory up to SWhole and then it just farts about. Yellow Moon is promising but 3 clunkers in the last 4 isn't good. Maybe Of The Earth was needed. Can't tell just yet.theplatypus wrote:Well, that was interesting. Look forward to revisiting this when it's out. "My Father's Son", "Pendulum" and "Swallowed Whole" are pretty cool.

after 2 full listens all the way through... i'd have to say 7/10
which easily puts it ahead of Backspacer and Riot Act, not quite ahead of the S/T yet for me however, we shall see.

LTRP is a hot mess - If I want to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan I'll dig it out. I'd put supersonic ahead of it at the moment for the sole reason that Supersonic has that ridiculous riff in the middle of it.

Now I can go back and listen to the Wrigley LB songs. I like both of them on the album so far. I was surprised that FD wasn't nearly as wretched as I had imagined.evenslow wrote:It's much better than Wrigley but I still don't know how much I'll end up liking it.harmless wrote:You can just get rid of FD, knowing this album was originally meant to be 11 tracks.theplatypus wrote:Well, that was interesting.

I think My Father's Son sounds quite Binaural-ish, bits of God's Dice in there.

I don't know if hearing 2/3 of the album is causing this or what, but the sequencing is really odd to me. It's just all over the place.

Very much so! That was the 2nd thing that came to mind (after thinking it was a Soundgarden song from DOTUS).CupidStunt wrote:I think My Father's Son sounds quite Binaural-ish, bits of God's Dice in there.

Im only up to sirens so far, so this is premature, but im gonna say at the very least they should have swapped sirens and ltrp. You know, if they were insisting on keeping them

More listens will be needed. It's kind of like smoothing out a sheet; the songs we've heard are the wrinkles.HardTI wrote:I don't know if hearing 2/3 of the album is causing this or what, but the sequencing is really odd to me. It's just all over the place.
