Haim, or is it HAIM?

[PhilsFan]

Este's face is always like that.

And just a bunch of people ripping them for stupid shit like their facial expressions and how they look and shit that didn't matter.

I haven't watched them much live, but it seems like they all could work on their stage presence just a bit (well, maybe not Alana), but no, it really doesn't make that much of a difference.

Twitter seems to be pretty positive with its negatives, at least.

Bass face, yo. She does that all the time. It's her thing. I posted about it extensively in this very thread.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Loved the Gordon Beckham sketch. Alana is the cutest. Her verse on The Wire is one of the highlights of life.

 

[LemonMelon]

Alana is definitely my favorite. SNL confirmed this.

 

[PhilsFan]

GAF, do you have Este's phone number?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

No, but I've heard that story.

Alana is definitely my favorite. SNL confirmed this.

She puts the "yum" in Haim.

 

[iron yuppie]

Finally going to give this a spin soon.

 

[phanan]

For whatever reason, I haven't listened yet either. Think I'll take care of that on my day off tomorrow.

Every time the intro to The Wire comes on, Heartache Tonight starts playing in my head.

 

[bono_212]

You are most certainly not alone their.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, it's the exact same rhythm track.

The first seven songs on this album are really, really good, but is it just me or do the wheels completely fall off after that?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Bass face, yo.

Bass Stank Face

That Wire song has an 80s feel to the cadence of the chorus lyrics. I like it

I don't know what that is.

I'll give you My Song 5 as the album's weak point, but I really like Go Slow and Running If You Call My Name. And Let Me Go has looked like a cool live track on the couple of YouTube shows I've seen.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I don't know what that is.

A horrible song by the horrible Eagles

 

[PhilsFan]

I hate the fucking Eagles, man.

 

[PhilsFan]

Yo GAF, cha girl took a lot of the lead vocals at a show earlier this week cause Danielle was sick.

Hello:

Haim - Forever (Giorgio Moroder Remix) - YouTube

 

[iron yuppie]

Okay, so this album is bad-ass and totally deserving of the many plaudits coming its way. Strange thing is that "The Wire" was one of my least favorite tracks here, if only because there are so many great ones from front to back. There's a lot more edginess here than I was anticipating.

 

[phanan]

If I Could Change Your Mind and the title track are probably my faves.

 

[LemonMelon]

If I Could Change Your Mind and the title track are probably my faves.

Agreed on both counts.

Not a huge fan of The Wire.

 

[PhilsFan]

If I Could Change Your Mind and the title track are probably my faves.

I think those two and Falling are my favorites. The funny thing is that the only two songs they don't play live are the ones you mentioned.

EDIT: Looking at setlists, it appears that they recently started playing Change Your Mind but scrapped it after a few shows.

 

[u2popmofo]

I need to listen to this.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I've been avoiding it because, despite the sort of throwback nature of The Wire I like, the production is god awful. Is that not indicative of the rest of the album?

I don't think The Wire is representative of the rest of the album, no. I guess I didn't notice the production one way or another, but stylistically it struck me as sunnier than the other tracks.

 

[Jive Turkey]

ah, okay. I should give it a chance

 

[PhilsFan]

So apparently there was a bit of a feud between Haim and Los Campesinos or something.

 

[u2popmofo]

That's a sHaim.

 

[bono_212]

I laughed out loud.

 

[bono_212]

Following this tiff took me a second to understand, but that peace sign thing basically means fuck you in Britain, doesn't it?
