Atoms for Peace

[djerdap]

Unless and Stuck Together Pieces just don't work for me. When I skip those two, the record just flows perfectly. The final track should have been 2 minutes longer; that ending just begs to be drawn out and get more epic.

Listening to the download I received this morning. Nice way to start a snowy Monday.

I got a rock.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Sorry, Charlie.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hit yourself in the head with it until you hear music.

 

[Danny Boy]

Now THAT'S a punishing bassline.

 

[u2popmofo]

Well done.

My thoughts as well! I absolutely love that ending but I always get really pissed when it ends. I wonder if it will be extended in the live version.

Just a 6.9 from the fork. I'd give 7.something but the reviewer makes some good points.

 

[Imperor]

It arrived. And it's gorgeous. But wasn't this shit supposed to come with a CD? Was gonna send it to my old man.

Edit, I have the same version and I got a CD. It's a crappy looking thing in a plastic sleeve, hidden inside one of the inserts.

Download code here. Must be a US thing. I didn't give a shit about what the CD came in, but I told my dad it was his. I'll just buy him a copy.

I won't be able to sleep because of this.

Nor do I... But I sleep easier knowing that the copy of Amok in my iTunes is now legal. Your dad seems cool. If I played Amok for my dad he'd say something like "what the fuck is the doof bleep shit I raised you better than this boy"

 

[LemonMelon]

My dad likes the Eagles and Peter Frampton.

But my mom drove 5 hours to see a Flaming Lips gig so yeah, that balances things out.

Better score than they gave The Eraser.

He's a huge Radiohead fan, so he was predictably excited about Atoms. Also digs MMJ, The National, Misty, and others. I owe being a huge music nut to him, so it's always nice when I can get him into stuff I like. Even sent him a Four Tet track the other day. "Quite good," he said. I was on a high after finding a new copy of Rounds for $15, so I sent him "Unspoken."

 

[cobl04]

Dad won't listen to anything released after about 1991, mum 1989 (unless it's by The Eagles, Neil Diamond, Michael Buble or offensively inoffensive acoustic guitar/piano singer-songwriters).

 

[PhilsFan]

My dad's favorite band is Chicago, I'm pretty sure.

 

[martha]

Their first album is good.

 

[LemonMelon]

Their first album is good.

I liked the second one too. Somewhere after that though their guitarist left and they became adult contemporary crap.

 

[PhilsFan]

I never even knew my father had opinions about music until a few months ago when he said he hates Bruce Springsteen. I always thought he just ignored music entirely until that point.

 

[martha]

He accidentally shot himself. Drunken Russian roulette is never a good idea.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow.

Good thing they channeled that tragedy into lame music and $$$.

 

[martha]

It was pretty intense. I was a huge fan at the time. I'll look up which album it was.

 

[martha]

It was in '78, so they were already on the road to crap. It went quickly downhill after he died.

 

[nielsgov]

Just a 6.9 from the fork. I'd give 7.something but the reviewer makes some good points.

Indeed. The review is spot on though I'd also give it a slightly higher score.

 

[LemonMelon]

6.3234876656789876 for me, but I need more time with it.

 

[lazarus]

The only Chicago song I really need to hear ever again is Saturday In The Park. That's a great piece of work.

 

[LemonMelon]

I love Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is and 25 or 6 to 4.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I really like 25 or 6 to 4.
