go to the post office maybe, and talk to the people at the address you shipped it to

I JUST REALIZED THAT I THOUGHT SUMMING THE WRENCH AND GOLDEN GAL WERE 1 SONG LOL...I WAS LIKE WTF THIS IS THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME

[alvinrowx]

I was afraid they lost their ability to "control" their sound experimentations but now I'm happy, it's like some sounds of CHz were revisited in a more subtle and tempered way, and mixed with PBMTGR production.

It has also a raw energy, now I understand why they talked about dinosaurs and Dada. This kind of prehistoric atmosphere makes me think a lot about Down There. To me, some songs are like a pop and happy version of Down There, with a similar watery and "exotic" production. Especially on Golden Gal, which has some kind of Laughing Hieroglyphic vibes, when Avey Tare sings.

PS : Oh my god, On Delay is soooo goooood

Oh, no you have to press play then try listening. I made the same mistake.

I thought the exact same thing. Down There has that depressing, burning the midnight oil vibe to it and this album feels like it's recorded at the "Oliver Twist" swamp from the music video except midday and the crows aren't trying to mind-fuck you.

[Treckasec]

Vertical's chorus has been stuck in my head. I love it.

I don't think this album is better than MPP because it didn't really give me chills, though it's very good. Sorry CHz, I think this album is better.

Yes, a swamp or a cavern

And at the end of Recycling, I thought the synth from Spirit They're Gone was back aaaah... it made me feel nostalgic.

[Synusoid]

We get House of Bairro and Gnip Gnop on Friday right? That's the 7" single?

It still seems like Golden Gal is my least favorite off of the album. Which is weird because I'm seeing A LOT of people list it as their favorite! If I had to choose the singles I probably would have replaced Lying In The Grass with Summing The Wretch.

I am just so in love with Hocus Pocus's chorus. The synths that come in are so crystallized and really attack your ears. The beat is the PERFECT walking pace and the whole thing feels like I'm taking part in a ritual of some sort. It really does feel sort of primitive as they've described, yet all of this album sounds like the future. Like I've said before, the textures, samples, and nuances are so perfectly placed and it all feels intentional. There's definitely a REALLY off-kilter side to this album and things like the vocoded voice in Vertical's opening make you go "hey, this is kind of weird but really interesting!"

This is definitely going to beat CHz for me and top their discrography.

I had a dream last night that I was playing a show in Champaign-Urbana, at the closed down Error Records, and for some reason the gang was there. It was a crowd of about 30 people but I could clearly make out Noah, Dave, Josh and Brian in the front, and about halfway through my set they started to morph into their characters from ODDSAC and they joined me on stage, the music we played together was unlike anything I've ever heard, and now I'm going to try to recreate it

[Hellomark]

Spoiler: show

does recycling remind anyone else of of Montreal? There are a couple moments on this album that give me that vibe, but it's especially strong on recycling.

[Synusoid]

Spoiler: show

On Delay has the most chilling ending ever! I love Noah's drone-y melody and how that last note drops until it cuts off haha

[Hellomark]

ridiculously early attempt at power rankings based on only a couple of listens (and the worst sound quality ever):

Spoiler: show

1. the burglars
2. golden gal
3. on delay
4. vertical
5. natural selection
6. bagels in kiev
7. hocus pocus
8. floridada
9. spilling guts
10. recycling
11. lying in the grass
12. summing the wretch

Same, kinda indisputable he's the greatest MC in the game.


Also this album is fucking great. The boys come through.

Just jumped on, guess I missed the party last night. Was too busy obsessing over how beautiful TLOP is. Definitely holding out from listening to the freebird though, I'm seeing the philly show, first of the tour. Want to lose my painting with virginity to a live show.

Eh, let him off the hook. To each his own. He's entitled to his own wrong opinion

[Stanshant]

1-3 are fantastic and 8, 9, 11 and 12 are fucking amazing. The first half of 10 is bloody awful, the worst Panda Bear song I've ever heard. 4-7 have really good parts, still getting a handle on them.

I like where this fits in their discography, something I haven't quite heard from them before. Dave especially sounds on real form, Noah a tad repetitive in his less inspired moments.

I am really tired though so I kind of expected to enjoy this less than I do given my mood.

That said, I have no patience for the Kanye chat.

I still haven't got any confirmation. Anyone in Canada the same?

the part in on delay just a little after the 2 minute mark where that pounding synth comes in is incredible.

TLOP sounds like a collection of songs you'd skip on a much better album. Sounds like he wrote and recorded the entire thing last weekend, and he gets Bodied by his guests on every track. Thugger and Kdot were the highlights

[FAF]

yeah i think it says that in the email because it's just the name of the full product, but i don't think the 7" single is actually coming right now

the copy the guy on reddit had appears to be the deluxe (it has the stickers and slipmat) but no sign of the 7"

[joby]

Spoiler: show

cannot get over the 1-2 punch that is burglars into natural selection

[Synusoid]

That's weird, I don't think that the pre-order site originally stated that the 7" ships separately later.

Well, I'm still excited!

Right, and I was saying that I don't remember seeing that when the pre-orders first went up. Maybe I just misread

Do we know if we're actually getting songs 15 and 16 yet?

[Saferintheflowers]

I wanna talk about this album soO bad!!!! Though, I feel super guilty for the ODDSACS that haven't heard it yet.. i seriously just got so lucky and I'm a loser who had nothing else to do on a friday night but refresh 4chan a million ...smh haha a few more days!!! (so excited!!!)

Good question. I haven't seen confirmation of that, but I haven't read/listened to all the interviews.

It says that my copy is currently in transit. Surely it won't take five days to get to Orlando

The intro to Recycling sounds like a reworking of In the flowers to me at first. There is something really nostalgic about this song, a lot of the sounds in this album feel this way to me, but especially this last one. Also, this is a very different closing song than I'm use to with their albums. Usually their last songs have this intense explosive celebratory kind of thing going on. Brothersport, Aminita, Derek, Turn into Something. Some of the sounds at the end remind me of spirit they're gone.
