Holy fuck, I still haven't heard Reflektor yet either. My top 10 isn't gonna know what hit it.

 

[Imperor]

Funny how under the radar this and LC! are going to fly despite both bands putting out much of my favorite music of the last however many years. Win Butler's Frankensteinian shadow is just too large.

 

[LemonMelon]

Zonoscope fucked Cut Copy's momentum somewhat, seems like this album in general isn't stirring up as much interest as the last one. Won't matter as long as it brings the goods.

Despite the Zonoscope disaster, looking forward to hearing this one.

Hot fucking damn.

If James Murphy actually woke up naked on a beach in Ibiza, he probably heard something like this.

Sounds like the parts of Zonoscope I liked, for 50 minutes straight. No bullshit, just warm house beats. I love it.

They're back to being the band I enjoy

"Walking in the Sky" might be my song of the year. Oh shiiiittttt.

Now this makes me more excited than Arcade Fire. Zonoscope was uneven and overlong, but I'm hoping this will at least capture some of the spark they had on In Ghost Colours.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's extremely coherent and I think only 48 minutes long. Pretty much the opposite of Zonoscope in many ways.

 

[No spoken words]

In Ghost Colours.

 

[bono_212]

I never thought a day would come when I would have to say, "Whoa, Cut Copy, let's not overdue it on the 90s soul vocals here," but I think that might be my sole complaint.

 

[gvox]

ahhhhhhh

 

[gvox]

You have got to be shittin me. This is great so far!

 

[gump]

Yummie. A good weekend of music awaits me.

 

[djerdap]

Oh yes. I am liking this. In Memory Capsule and Walking in the Sky are instant favourites.

 

[bono_212]

I think I've heard "Walking in the Sky" four times now. Woke up with it in my head.

 

[FitzChivalry]

First listen completed. LOVE it! Waaaaaaaaaaay better than Zonoscope. It's tight, and they've "Moonrise Kingdom"-ed it on this one: they've found their way back to their fun, groovy mojo!

One could say Butler is stealing their thunder?

[iron yuppie]

Yeah, this one's a banger. I'm not as low on Zonoscope as some of you seem to be, but Free Your Mind is an improvement regardless.

It is. I still think Zonoscope was a good album, also. This one caught me totally off guard, I guess I`ve been out of the loop with their progress. As a result, it looks like I may miss seeing them a second time as their stop here is in 2 weeks and all the GAs are sold out

 

[corianderstem]

Very excited to pick this up next week.

 

[gump]

Really like this. Not as exciting or dancey as In Ghost Colours, but more consistent than Zonoscope for sure (and, like iron yuppie, I'm not as down on that album as others).

We Are Explorers is great. Those seconds when the beats (electronic high hats?) come in right after the singer are really cool. I'm not a huge fan of the DJ voice that pops up from time to time, but it's a minor thing anyways. Solid album throughout.

 

[intedomine]

I adored Zonoscope (even more after seeing how some of the songs translated live). Pharaohs surpassed all before it to become their best song I reckon.

Will pick up a copy when it's released physically.

 

[purpleoscar]

"Let me show you love" is awesome but the rest is forgettable.

 

[bono_212]

I can't hear you over my tenth listen to "Walking in the Sky"

 

[LemonMelon]

Let Me Show You Love is like my 7th favorite.

 

[iron yuppie]

On first listen, We Are Explorers stood out most for me.

 

[djerdap]

Let Me Show You Love is like my 7th favorite.

One of the weaker songs I feel. It has that droning Zonoscope feel that is not my favourite side of this band.
