throwgncpr Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Well, fuck-a-duck. I was wondering if they'd ever finish a new album. This seems like a logical progression for the stuff that Jim has done, but I wouldn't mind a little more punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Nice! I'm glad Dine Alone is releasing this one. Grabbed a black copy with local pickup! Now all we need is a Mars Volta reunion 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achillesstand7 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Wow, I didn't think they'd ever finish a new album. Picked up the swirl. Bummed I missed the /100, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but this is more easy-listening than rock. Like Snow Patrol or something, lol. youspinmeround and kjkenney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew that though. Pitchfork stated that they were ersatz shit. Mere pimpwork and masturbatory, at best. And we all know that Sparta made the grade from Pitchy with the exception of the tame-core album Threes.

Derek™ Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have no horse in this race but I just wanted to say that you really gotta’ stop citing Pitchfork or treating them as any remotely credible tastemaker. It was a funny shtick for a little while there... but when I realized you’re serious, it’s just become incredibly depressing. ditc586, erasedtapes, tetsuodaironman and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This single sounds like U2, but I'm still gonna listen to the album. Not spend crazy Canadian inflation on a vinyl copy, but jam the stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Judging by this single though, this record isn't gonna be worth $17 USD. buddha4281 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... you still gotta pay for shipping from another country and there’s not gonna be a $5-6 media mail option. So Buff hitting you with the “but this is $17” bit is BULLSHIT. Cheapest I can get the shitty white version is in the $28 range. Throw in an extra $10 CAD trying to snag the most elusive of any Dine Alone variant and you are way up in the ‘fuck that’ price zone. If this album doesn’t wind up being completely terrible (doubt that) then BullMoose usually gets DA stuff. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that would hold them up if they really wanted to do this. I do hope Juan pulls out of the coma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Went to Spotify to check out the new song and apparently there's some foreign rap artist with the same name whose new single is on the band's page at the moment. At first I was like.. "this is different". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
