    It puzzles me how the most basic and logical of thoughts and assumptions evades people and how they can be so angry when something that is to be expected is asked. Makes me understand why wars happen. I think he might be butthurt still from sending funds to his Nigerian princess girlfriend and wishes to pay it forward.

    Haha.  Fuck right off, dude. One online publication doesn’t get to corner an opinion on music.  “Welp Pitchfork loves the record so I guess I gotta’ hate on it otherwise I’m a drone.”  Do people really think like this?  You are aware that people are allowed to form and adhere to their own perceptions of an album, right?  AF is weak af because James’ vocals melodies and delivery are forgettable, lyrics are grossly basic and teeter on cringe, and the entire thing flows in one ear and out the other barring 3 or so highlights.  This conclusion was arrived at well before Pitchfork posted any kind of review, as made apparent by the time stamps in this text chat with a friend;

    I know it’s a big and scary world out there with adults forming their own opinions and interpretations of music, but you should give it a shot sometime.  No one single website or source should dictate how you feel about music and you’re a child if you feel otherwise.

    I have gotten so many "this one is so great" and "Much better than Colour" comments from my friends (we rarely look at  P4K reviews), but besides the closing track, I was so underwhelmed, singing was so flat. I absolutely love 'Colour' and the S/T. Overgrown needs a revisit. Maybe I'll reach the same conclusion.

    Bumping for general Antlers chat if anyone’s game.  Don’t think I’ve had an Antlers discussion on VC before.

     

    How do you guys feel about the rest of their discography?  Burst Apart is so damn good that it’s kinda’ stupid.  I did not care for that album at all, for the longest time, but over the years it has really revealed itself with those nuanced melodies and lush production.  Big fan.

     

    I haven’t tried it in quite some time but I could not get into Familiars at all.  I know a few people on the boards really loved that album when it was released.  I respected what they were going for but I just recall thinking that it wasn’t for me.  I really ought to return to it with an open mind, sooner than later.  Could surprise myself.

     

    Also I think that their Undersea EP is killer.  I’ve heard a lot of aquatic-themed albums and EPs over the years but that’s one of the better ones in my books.

    I felt the same about familiars for the longest time until last year that It clicked and had me obsessed for the longest. But 'Burst Apart' is a gem for sure.

    But it's sad to think we'll never see The Antlers play full effect due to Pete's ear issues. His solo stuff got a lot of spins from me as well.
