Shitty Rambo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 That last record was a stinker, I wanna hear this before buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think of Physical World? I thought that was a fun one, even if it swapped out some grit for more pop hooks. I haven’t listened to anything after that, though. The last album’s singles didn’t really grab me and I haven’t felt the itch to check it out. Sounds like I should just keep it that way. New track is fun but gets kind of wonky midway through with the forced bridge. Really dig everything outside of that, but not enough to confidently drop $35-50.

I didn't dislike it, but there was only a handful of songs from it I enjoyed and that's only because they sounded more similar to the first EP/LP. I'm sure after being apart for so long they didn't want to come back and just repeat what they did before but in all honesty that sound is what I come to DFA for, or at least did.

Very understandable. I still revisit YAWIAM for just how grimy and fun it is. There’s a moment on this new single that sounds like it was cut off the last Strokes record – which I really enjoy, let the record show – but like you said, that’s just not what I aspire to hear when I throw on DFA1979. And yeah, I get that it’s silly to expect to them to remain stagnant or sound identical after such a lengthy hiatus. But even with a bigger budget and new production tricks, they could still manage to explore their older sound in a new direction that isn’t so... pop and cheese, I guess.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I like this tune miles better than anything of the last record. Cautiously optimistic? I don’t need them to be all dirty and heavy all the time. I just don’t need the Foo Fighters thing we got with the last record.

fish Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Golden Ghost version is available in the EU here. So it is possible that we may see this at indie US shops. https://www.bravado.de/p51-i0680889100857/death-from-above-1979/is-4-lovers-ltd-golden-ghost-lp-/index.html Edited February 4, 2021 by fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead single Freeze Me is decent, and easily the best song on the album. The B-Side Keep It Real Dumb is kind of a fun stupid track too. Both of which are on a 7", skip the rest of the album for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltagedrop Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Gave it a couple listens this morning and have to say that I like the previous album much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I like this new record after the first listens but I can totally see how fans from 2004 would not. Then again the bar was so low after the last one so who knows how long that opinion stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
