dnl Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 That's an awesome price for a double LP + 7". "...when the band convened to make their third studio album, Heads Up, they shared a common goal: to make a faster, dance-oriented record." Now I need to hear some of these tracks. I'm excited.

NoStairwayDenied Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I'm not enjoying this new single they released. Sounds like Chris Martin produced the album... Edited August 1, 2016 by NoStairwayDenied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I was afraid they were going to bad last album and I was very wrong. Now based on "New Song" and that bio written about the album, I'm certain they've lost me. I'll listen to the whole thing but I can't preorder this. I do however desperately want that 7" but I don't know if I want to spend $28 for one song.

The new song? You mean the new song which is titled "New Song"? Yeah me either. There's nothing cute about that name and the lyrics are so trite. 14 hours ago, youspinmeround said: Love this band but this single sounds like haim Seriously. They just tried really hard to go super Pop on this one. They used to have mystique. Now they just want to be in line with Meghan Trainor. I'm all for them following their hearts and doing what they want to do but this feels completely contrived. I guess you cant hover just under the radar for 15 years and not want shoot for a piece of the pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I don't want to write them off over 1 song, but yeah not encouraging. They've got enough cred with me based on their career so far, so I'll wait to hear the whole thing before making grand statements. Still looking forward to the LP.

I didn't even notice the song name. But yeah, I'll stream the whole album I guess before I write it off, but not too hopeful at this point.

allenh Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Good or bad it was a right royal pain in the arse to order from this side of the Atlantic. The United Kingdom isn't an option for Rough Trade US and annoyingly it doesn't show up on Rough Trade UK unless I missed it or there is another different version going to show up here some time soon. Luckily my parents live in the US so I got it shipped there but I had to put my billing address as The Isle Of Man just to get a UK format address and unless they've done a runner as well the Isle Of Man was still part of the Empire last time I checked. All done on my phone and a lot of fun on the way into London on the train this morning with signal dropouts etc. So after all that I expect the album will be utter cack when I finally do get it but thanks to @jackshidt for posting jackshidt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just picked up a single sided 7" of New Song at my local record store. I might be in the minority, but I like this new single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boourns Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) 1 pink, 1 black vinyl LP Don't understand the point in this. So it's only halfway special compared to the regular vinyl? I'd rather both records be pink, or perhaps some swirl. I wish the full "No Way Out" had a vinyl release. It's one of their best.

Thanks for that. When I went in via the Rough Trade front page the only options I got were CD or standard LP. Oh well my copies going to be in the US on release day although it was cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Ordered this as soon as it went up, not heard the new song yet. I adored all their previous work and Jennylee's solo album so I will hold on to my optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 "New Song" doesn't even sound like a shadow of the previous material. The only thing that makes this sound like Warpaint is the audible recognition of the voices of the individuals singing and even that is a bit hairy. I'm just so thoroughly disappointed by this direction. If the rest of the album sounds nothing like this song except for the upbeat styling that the bio refers to, then there may be hope but its not looking good and that sucks because I've been a huge Warpaint fan for a while. Jennylee's solo album is pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just listened to "New Song" on youtube. It is indeed very different and I can see why people are a little worried. I didn't hate it personally. Don't know how I'll feel if the whole album is in the same vein though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I got my copy from RT today. Its just as good as their s/t. Still don't understand the hate for New Song. Sounds even better in context of the whole album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 It's a weird song for them because they could have done without the pop radio production and it would fit right in with the rest of their songs. I don't get it, but the album rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
