I’m not anti-Yip like most people here but this is soooo true haha. Every post he makes on IG just makes me roll my eyes. I get wanting to hype an album but come on now.

TheWindBlower Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If you liked Rooms of the House, I'm fairly confident that you'll like this LP. It definitely feels like a progression from that album rather than their earlier work. They picked bad singles for this too. The non-released tracks are bangers. "Fulton Street II" and "Anxiety Panorama" in particular really hit. I agree with the post above though. I don't always hate on Yip, but wow, the vocal mixing is awful on this. I've had to turn up the songs a few times to hear Jordan, and then, the guitars are WAY too loud. That said, I really like this one. La Dispute didn't disappoint.

cantdance Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yeah I’m just irritated that this album could’ve been so much better with a different producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantdance Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Possibly. I just disagree with it. It’s musically great but the mixing is awful. Just a disappointing case of missed potential imo. TheWindBlower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Came in here to give a report but @TheWindBlower basically nailed it already. "Anxiety Panorama" absolutely rips and "There You Are (Hiding Place)" is just awesome. Production isn't great but the only song that really suffers from it is "Footsteps at the Pond," in my opinion.

MCDELTAT Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 We'll see. It's really hard for me to judge their albums at face value any more since ROTH took a long time to grow on me. I've listened to the leak a few times now and enjoy it like a 7/10. But I'm waiting for the physical vinyl so I can sit down, read along, etc and wager that will increase. It was the same for The Hotelier "Goodness". That album was good, but the first time I sat down, read the lyrics, completely different.

Amen dude, I'm looking forward to this one...I don't think any of their albums will ever top Wildlife for me though. I have to be in the right mood to listen to that record though because it fucking destroys me. I really really need to revisit rooms of the house Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCDELTAT Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Still haven't gotten a shipping label. Listened to it even more times, I'm split on it. If you haven't, check out the "video game" panorama that they put out. It actually helped me understand a lot where they were going with all the lyrics. That we think we're alone on some journey of sorrow, and then we run into hundreds of other people taking the same march. Also "Anxiety Panorama" straight up gave me anxiety when you load into just a giant blob of pointy things. It's donation only, so you could technically check it out for free.

I've only been listening through bandcamp but really can't find anything to complain about with the mix. The two points I have seen here are "guitars are too loud" and "vocals are too low" but I do not find this to be the case for two reasons: 1. they're not and 2. I seem to be in the minority of music listeners who mostly takes the music released by "serious" bands as "as is" and accept that it is intended to be this way. It is unlikely that La Dispute have released this in a state that they didn't believe was how the music was intended to be experienced. I refuse to project my expectations or tastes onto the music someone else creates; life is too short to be that asshole. To contradict myself though, I do think the cover art is lifeless (in deep conflict with the music on the album). I am curious on your thoughts on the music and production when you finally get around to listening though. Anyway, anyone hear anything about a tour press yet? gazzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
