Excited for this as I thought El Pintor was a huge step above their self-titled album. I just saw that also. I havent really been interested in this band in over a decade. They are pretty paint by number post punk these days. I hope they maybe try and expand a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current trio seems pretty comfortable sticking with the post punk formula but maybe they surprise here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintplusplus Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) I would agree about them changing things up if they hadn't released the self-titled record. I actually think that was their timid attempt at mixing things up. The songs were darker and dryer with less immediate flourishes/gimmicks propping them up. It also wasn't very interesting or good. El Pintor went back to the old formula of booming production, silly self-serious lyrics, and predictable Interpol guitar flourishes and, despite diminishing returns, it was a fun, energetic record. I agree that it's all the same (minus self-titled) but I don't know if they are a band that you want experimenting outside of their zone.

I do wish post-OLTA that they would have kept down that path - they introduced some things there that were a bit more interesting and cinematic in that album IMO. But agreed, self-titled just wasn't executed well. Just a depressing listen, really, so I'm not surprised they pressed the 'restart' button.

rabbitvinyl Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Their self-titled isn't nearly as bad as people say. If anything, it would have been much worse with Carlos still in the mix - he apparently wanted to use more synths and keys on the record, and the rest of the band essentially re-wrote the whole thing once he decided to leave. In an interview a few years ago, Carlos mentioned that when he heard the record for the first time, he couldn't recognize any of it because so much of it had changed. I'm all for his bass lines and he had so many great ones when he was in the band, but I think the balance between the rhythm section and Kessler's guitar is really what makes them stick out nowadays. Excited for this. Edited May 24, 2018 by rabbitvinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azvd Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I still listen to albums #1 / #2 frequently, I'm kinda addicted to the sounds there. It seems album #2 is a bit underrated for the fact that it was surrounded by expectations with the sucess #1 got. But unfortunately, each time they went ahead and tried to experiment, it felt that it just wasn't their cup of tea, they weren't at their best (S/T and the Julian Plenty solo albums). They are pretty good at doing that dark, post punk songs and that does for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Looks like they're scheduled to play Colbert next Friday, June 8. Single + album announcement + preorder must be imminent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd_z Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yeah they kind of lost me at S/T. El Pintor was decent, but kind of safe and formulaic, I never did get into it. I remember people hating on OLTA, but it's a really great album that grew on me. Some people just want everything to be OLTA. It's never going to happen.

lethalenforcer Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 MusicToday powers their official store so I’m thinking this may be the extent of it (hopefully not). Maybe UO will get another variant post-release like with El Pintor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t find anything saying the red is limited. If I had to guess. Either that or retail is red as well. For the white copies of El Pintor I don’t know if they ever described it as limited. 2 minutes ago, YouTwo said: Was the White El Pintor exclusive to to their website? I remember that's where I bought but I can't remember how exclusive it was. It was available elsewhere. Some Indies and webshops carried it I believe. The only thing exclusive to the band store last time was a screen print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
