YouTwo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 To me, AM is just so un-interesting. It's got some good songs on it but i don't really dig the sound they were going for. Some of the songs are just flat out boring. ptothedo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care! Please do. To me SIAS is shimmery, playful and sometimes insecure. And AM is more like R&B/hip-hop beat-inspired self-serious cocky try-hard bravado.

BKO5950505 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Take off I Want it All and replace it with either So Dark or Stop the World and the album gains a point or two in my eyes. Also, Snap Out of It is fine enough on the album but I'm not a fan of it live. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would replace Mad Sounds - just not a fan of that tune at all. Edited May 9, 2018 by lethalenforcer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Listened to this about 3 times now, sounds like a bunch of rich white 30 year olds who are out of ideas. I love the notion of music of this genre being really popular nowadays but the songs themselves here are just really boring and not saying much. Would have loved this to be a great record, the overall style and instrumentation could have been made into an awesome record i think. 'The dream synopsis' from the last shadow puppets records was already so boring to me and that song would be the highlight on this one if it was on here, that's saying a lot. nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I just started listening to this and the first fucking lyrics being "I just wanted to be one of The Strokes" almost made me turn this off immediately. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Man, I just don't think he is a great songwriter at the piano. Lyrics aside, which are admittedly weak relative to previous output, there is an overall lack of rhythm or melody in his delivery. I'm not a musician so perhaps I articulated that poorly. It's a shame because sonically, this is the most interesting and personally appealing stuff I've heard from them. It's marred by a sort of prevailing incongruity. I'm not as harsh on it as you guys because I don't honestly think their first two albums are that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skacel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just noticed Evan Weiss is credited on a couple of songs on the album. Have listened through once and it’s not terrible but it’s definitely not their best work. 4 our of 5 is decent tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, man. This is Turner's tongue-in-cheek humour at its finest. To open an album as weird as this with that lyric is just getting ahead of every preconceived criticism with a smirk. allenh and Skacel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 4 listens in and this album is actually pretty good. So much so that I might splurge on a gold copy if I can get one at a half decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
