Amazing. So grateful for who ever freebirded. Bless you Deak

Crack open another beer and let’s get in it - Labor Day weekend freebird baby

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:12 pm**

Yeah, it's fantastic. Gonna need a few more listens for it to stew though. Full thoughts tomorrow

I’m only on magicians and I’ve cried 3 times.

Genies Open is exactly as they were playing it live which is great

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:20 pm**

Maybe it's just the freebird, but it seems like Defeat might be on the album. I'm still skeptical though...

It still hits hard man

Just finished my first listen :') they really did it, didn't they?

Stride Rite is SO good. ACAB is crazy and unexpected

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:49 pm**

Haven't listened yet, is Stride really that different from the 2022 live versions?

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:49 pm**

No not at all lol. Just a bit fuller and some fun sounds+harmonies (and real piano)

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:51 pm**

ACAB is crack cocaine

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:53 pm**

Acab gives me major someday I’ll grow to be as tall as the giant vibes. Fade in and all

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:55 pm**

im so gobsmacked

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:57 pm**

Is this a vinyl rip? There seems to be quite a lot of white noise for a cd rip or digital file. I’m also very stoned so take that with a grain of salt.

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 7:58 pm**

i need it in my veins

No this cuts off like a digital would

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:03 pm**

Smack me please

edit: got it!

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:08 pm**

I won't have time to listen to it until later - are there big changes from the live versions for any songs or do they all seem pretty faithful?

Could I please get a punch?

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:21 pm**

Atcab is straight up an Ariel pink song

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:25 pm**

if someone would be so kind as to crunchitize me pleaaassseeee

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:26 pm**

Punch me por favor!

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:37 pm**

This is good on first listen. One of the best recorded/produced AC albums, but I'm still not especially excited by most of the songs. Feels like a couple of top tier all-timers which they daren't have risked fucking up with remote recording, plus the rest of the rest. It's more interesting than Skiffs but not much more impolite. Cool dad soma.

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:39 pm**

Painful to read analyses without having gotten my glass of punch yet

edit: got it!

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:48 pm**

looks like the dropbox link being shared has been temp disabled, thanks to those who've shared, but it if theres a re-up possibility, that'd be sweet!

No Dragon Slayer / Passer-by / Cherokee tier downgrades here. It's the album I've dreamt about for the last 4 years and more.

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:53 pm**

Magicians goes so hard. Deakin added some piano flourishes in there that are just incredible

Soul capturer is perfect. Love the intro chatter collage

Pandas harmonies on Genies are beautiful

Broke seemed very faithful to the live version

Magicians — god tier, those “shrieks” really caught me by surprise

On Defeat now… damn did they ever nail it. I LOVE THIS SONG

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:54 pm**

From Genies to Stride every track felt like a highlight
