TV on the Radio - Nine Types of Light

[cobl04]

Say what you will about Nine Types of Light, but there were some really banging tracks on there, esp. Will Do, Second Song, and Keep Your Heart.

Yes. I liked several songs on it a whole lot. It also gave us the Repetition>Wolf Like Me live combo, which is probably the most kick-ass live thing I've seen in recent times.

This new track is good, nothing spectacular. Looks like a standalone single.

I didn't think Nine Types of Light was any worse than Dear Science.

I loved Nine Types of Light a ton.

This song is great.

 

[djerdap]

Yeah, Nine Types of Light wasn't bad at all.

Few new songs were played last month. I only listened to the first one, but I enjoyed it very much. Probably safe to say we'll be getting a new one from them this year:

BottleRock 2014 Friday: TV On The Radio Debut Three Songs, The Cure Get Cut Off - Stereogum

It's probably safe to say that $5 to see them and Twin Shadow perform together is an awesome deal.

Of all their lead singles to date (Staring at the Sun, Wolf Like Me, Golden Age, Will Do), this one is easily my least favorite. But when you consider how impressive those tracks are, I guess it's not so bad.

Reminds me of Bloc Party.

Natalia Leite is very beautiful.

You had me at, "Bloc Party".



I like it . . . a lot!

I'm not the biggest fan of this band (I love individual songs but the albums are always very hit-and-miss for me), but this has to be one of the most amazing TV performances I've seen. I know most of you have seen this already but it deserves to be posted again. Stunning.

To explain furthermore, even though I am frustrated that the albums are so uneven for my taste, the Young Liars EP is pretty fantastic. Blind is a beautiful song that doesn't get mentioned that often.

 

[PhilsFan]

Oh yeah, I love that Letterman performance. That song is killer live.

 

[u2popmofo]

Blind is a beautiful song that doesn't get mentioned that often.

They performed this the first time I saw them live.

 

[djerdap]

Was it the faster, guitar-heavy version? I was pretty surprised when I heard that arrangement. Good stuff.

 

[u2popmofo]

It wasn't any faster, but definitely was guitary. Everything on the Return to Cookie Mountain tour leaned towards a shoegaze type guitar sound, as the Wolf Like Me video you posted shows. Probably why everything they've done has been massively downhill from there for me. The first two albums and eps hit it out of the park for me though.

 

[iron yuppie]

Can't say the new single hit me too hard, but I'm still confident for the album. Great band.

 

[bono_212]

I find the new song to be really solid and enjoyable. I couldn't really figure out why you all seemed so underwhelmed until I saw the list of their previous lead singles. Compared to those, yeah, this is underwhelming. But, I'm one of the few who really liked their last album, so I'm super optimist and excited.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I'm one of the many who really didn't like their last album, but I'm still super optimistic and excited.
