youspinmeround Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So what does the VC actually think of the music now that we have heard it?

jpatrickbell Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Really blows someone did that. I appreciate you coming to us with it @hyperg1ant Sorry someone blew it and really hope no one you know is effected by this. I think it's a great collection of solid songs. Doesn't have as many standout single type songs as their albums usually do IMO. Feet and Wyutd. Not that it's a bad thing just an observation. Love Head Like A Haunted House. Considering how popular they have become after LC, I'm interested to see how this one is received.

If the link he sent me worked I would have sent the leak to all my friends, who would have shared with their friends, etc etc. Inevitable it gets out. 1 hour ago, youspinmeround said: So what does the VC actually think of the music now that we have heard it?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but the volume and equalization across the album was a bit rougher than I'm used to hearing with the average leak – especially in the back half – so I'd like to reserve an actual opinion for the real album. I listened once and will be shelving it until the real thing is in hand, because quite a few moments, riffs, and choruses deserve top quality at respectable volumes. faaip de oiad, daegor and ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick69 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I listened to it a few times and it's definitely a good record. Buuuuuuut I'm still slightly disappointed. It's a good rock album but you expect more from this band. It feels a bit one-dimensional and it lacks variety, I think. And it doesn't really leave you satisfied by the end. People are going to compare to Era Vulgaris for sure. It has few instant-classics like 'Hideway' and the last track, but some other songs like the 'The Evil Has Landed' and 'Domesticated Animals' sound like Them Crooked Vultures songs. Mark Ronson is going to receive so much hate. I can already see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faaip de oiad Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Personally, I have not heard it yet and choose to wait for my copy before I judge it. I like the first single that was released, but I feel I will have a unique experience by listening to it on vinyl first. clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The muddied audio and lack of true dynamic does no favor for the "one dimensional" sound nick69 speaks of. I personally feel like (most all QOTSA rexords,) the songs will really shape into their own and stand out with some repeated listens over a few weeks or a month, but I'm choosing to wait for a better copy – digitally or physically – before I embark on that journey. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I liked The Way You Used To Do much better. It sounded like something new from them, while the newer single just sounds like a Them Crooked Vultures B-Side. I'm really liking Boneface's work again. But I'd love to go back to the days when the art was pretty shitty but the records ruled. faaip de oiad and ptothedo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 "head like a haunted house" is probably the best track on the album. for me, the record is a disappointment though and while the leak is definitely terrible quality - it still hammers home that i really hate the guitar tone (or lack thereof). ptothedo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Laughing Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 So Discogs removed all unofficial versions of Stone Age Complication today. Apparently that's a thing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU818 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It took me about five listens to get into this record but now I dig it. At first it felt like a half rate Bowie tribute but now it plays like a real QOTSA record. Some songs have too much extra stuff going on sometimes and it's jarring to hear Josh singing like a pop singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Glad to hear positive initial things about the new album. Zero interest in hearing a leak and hoping for a little bit of a heavier and groovier record than the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely groovier and overall a bit heavier if you're looking at all the tracks in comparison to ...LC's roster. Nowhere near as "heavy" as their earlier stuff though. (But hopefully no one was dense enough to suspect that after the first single we got.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
