Oooh. Ooooooh. New Fall. Happens once a year or so, but still cheers me up.

jimbrim · 03.30.2008, 08:56 AM

i saw them a couple of weeks ago, their new stuff sounds quite good.

batreleaser · 03.30.2008, 10:49 AM

haha, you didnt honestly think there wudnt be a new fall this year did you?

atsonicpark · 03.30.2008, 04:33 PM

Pretty good album on first listen....

It's actually one of the weirdest things they've done. Lots of keyboard noises!!!

Pretty good. Will tide me over till Tuesday when the new EXPERIMENTAL DENTAL SCHOOL drops..

batreleaser · 03.30.2008, 05:19 PM

im so pumped for experimental dental school man

the ikara cult · 03.30.2008, 07:58 PM

nnnnno
I dont like this much at all, love the first song and the last couple are pretty good but im afraid it doesnt sound "weird" at all, just like hes found a layer of superglue behind his eyes and is happier to let it set.

atsonicpark · 03.30.2008, 08:09 PM

Hahah.

I dunno man, it's pretty odd for the Fall. I mean, they've been getting progressively weirder as of late. Note the song on "Post Reformation TLC" where the band jams and he rants about how they're trying to sound like Captain Beefheart.

I just find these songs a bit... odd.. I mean, track 3 is 11 minutes long and full of weird electronic sounds... I dunno. I guess that doesn't explain everything. Weird album! I gotta give it a few more listens...

the ikara cult · 03.30.2008, 08:27 PM

That 11 minute song doesnt qualify it as weird it qualifies it as unimaginative.

atsonicpark · 03.30.2008, 08:32 PM

Haha okay. If you want to debate what I find strange about these tracks....

I just find the whole album, the flow of it, the songwriting kind of ODD. Not sure how good the whole thing is yet though I liked it enough on first listen.

got it, listening to it. it rocks! loving it on first listen..........

Ah fuck Pauly, didn't see your post in time, otherwise I woulda upped it for you. I was going to just up it yesterday but I had a feeling you already had it.Yeah, I listened to it again, it IS a really great album. It's odd, though, how energized an album like "country on the click" or "post reformation tlc" sounds, whereas "Real new fall" sounded kinda drab and this album sounds... not... I dunno.. it sounds very very stuck in a rut and dark.. like everyone's just having an awful time.Also, I will definitely go ahead and disagree with mr. ikara cult... This album definitely is weird. Listen to the aformentioned third track again. It goes from a kind of electronic Fall-ish song into a banjo and poppy keyboard song into a very slow, grinding Fall song into a punk noise song! It's amazing. Also, Mark E. Smith is sounding stranger and stranger all the time............ Great album!

he is sounding stranger and stranger because he is getting deeper and deeper into the depths of late stage alcoholism.

im jk, hes one of my all time favorite song writers.

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.01.2008, 09:04 AM

50 year old man is excellent. a real fuck you song!

You're still wrong about this, and will continue to be so until you stop.

I haven't downloaded this yet, seeing as I've been averaging about 2 new new records a year, it seems pretty pointless hearing it now. Been getting good props generally though. But then they always do, regardless of how good the actual record is. See also - Sonic Youth, Nick Cave.

atsonicpark · 04.01.2008, 06:39 PM

Anyone remember that old Fall song where Mark goes, "You wanna be on speed like me?" or something like that. I think it was on Dragnet.

Everyneurotic · 04.01.2008, 07:21 PM

i listened to it today, and it sounds quite good, it's like versatile and kinda spaced out but still being the fall.

the first song is very weird, the third one is also but has it's precedents and it has the hallmarks of archetypical fall songs.

i'm glad they are trying new things, like trying to get away from the reformation post tlc. i give them props for that alone.

one thing though, and it's not a criticism as it didn't really felt bad but, their albums are getting longer.
