also what is cantankerous

oh man that's crazy clams, those are definitely two of my favorite from CHz. people are always like "CHz is their weakest" but people never agree on which songs are weak. it's the most divided as far as what people like of any record of theirs it seems like. its pretty interesting

Hate getting off topic, but C-hurtz is tight.

Especially love pulleys and amanita

Yeah chz keeps getting better for me. Mpp kinda did that pre-chz, surprising me cuz I kept reaching new levels of appreciation over time. whole thing is so sweet and heavy and energetic, and it totally massages my ears better than almost anything

edit- o but ya this is like the wrong thread

That's weird, since I always thought it was unanimous that Father Time was one of the worst songs on the album. The instrumentation reminds me too much of Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine, and not in a happy, nostalgic way either. Just overall, not one of Avey's finest moments.

I think we can all agree that Honeycomb deserved a place on centipede hz, though.

On the topic of slasher flicks, I dunno if anybody noticed but according to iTunes, Roses is actually the longest track at 6:43. Ugh, I'm gonna be sad if it never pops up before the album comes out. This combined with the fact that it comes right after that amazing outro on The Outlaw gives me such high hopes for that song.

Yo avey used to yell "you're fire(d)" before fireworks/essplode medley back in the day
(see Hovefestivalen 2008 boot, not sure about others around the same time)
he's been waitin to use that line for six years wow

is this album underwhelming to anyone in this forum?

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 12:17 pm

*raises hand*

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 1:23 pm

i think the synth near the start of Catchy sounds very similar to Lucky 1? it sounds very familiar in any case. i have no real formal knowledge of music so...

i'd like to add blind babe to list of songs i think are cool from this record (also because i remember 'does she feel it?' from the show i saw)

Yup. I listened to it twice earlier this week, and the only thing that stuck with me was Little Fang.

Bummer.

At least Dave is having fun.

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 3:17 pm

I didn't really like it at first.

It hell of grew on me though

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 3:21 pm

keep listening guys. it's not like that, it won't grow

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 5:26 pm

there are bunch of poppers on dis albm gets me way more stoked then cHz like it gives me hope i'll at least dig some of this and some future releases maybe although i know their music'll keep changing and evolving so theres no worries if one era isnt my fave. cant win em all but dis album is quite a nice listen for me

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2014 6:50 pm

I finally voted today. "The Outlaw" is so good. It seems underappreciated. To me it seems different than anything they've done.

I'm so thrilled by this album. It gets better and better, unlike MPP

stan, what? no. c'mon. yea this is okay but you're really going to say this and merriweather are even on the same level. crazy talk. you know better

o snap stan vs dearest

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2014 7:23 pm

I don't think it's anywhere near, nor is my experience of the similar post-freebird time period which was just obsessive all-consuming euphoria with MPP. However, MPP did not (could not) grow, simply because I already loved those songs and flooded my life with them for eighteen months before it was released. I listened to it every day for weeks and weeks but it was a plateau which gradually faded from day one. Similar experience with Tomboy. Not listening to any boots for this one clearly made a difference to the way I approached it and I'm finding it very exciting.

I admit I'm comparing apples to oranges, so there's a bit of context for the comment.

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2014 7:24 pm

lol of course this is better than MPP

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2014 7:35 pm

I have a confession: I'm not actually laughing out loud.

That trailer on the slasher house website has me so pumped to see them live it's not even funny. It's gonna be a wicked good show. Bring it on !

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 01, 2014 9:52 pm

Trailer?

Blind babe and little fang are the only ones I like a lot so far. A lot of this sounds like CHz to me. What happened to Dave's writing style? It seems like so many of his songs get bogged down with too many parts? But that's not really it is it, it's like the parts are being used differently. The movement is less dynamic and it feels like he's just filling the time up. Things don't ever slow down in his songs anymore... I love the beginning of Catchy but it gets sidetracked down these lesser melody alleyways. Is Dave not interested in pop n e moar?

Post **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 3:15 am

listen a few more times

Kinda agree with you about the too many parts bit and how they seem to just be there. I find some of his songwriting on here to be a bit less cohesive if that makes sense. Catchy isba good example.

But then when i think about it, some songs on here are the most poppiest I've ever heard from avey. Case in point: Modern days e, little fang, a sender

Post **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 9:34 pm

Especially little fang

Your Card is such a killer song. I love just about everything about this song: the melodies, the piper-esque jam in the middle, and the donald-trumpian ending to finish off the album.

Post **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2014 5:46 am

ahaha

yeah that's the best song i think

Post **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2014 6:57 am

(its "you're fire" though methinks)

I feel that if there ever was a video for that it wont grow, it should have a full on dance routine.
