Wild Nothing

Better than Gemini? I'm excited for a listen later this evening.

I'm still debating with myself on whether it's better than Gemini, but I'm starting to lean towards yes.

 

[LemonMelon]

Better than Gemini?

Better than Gemini.

 

[bono_212]

My argument at first about why it wasn't better than Gemini was that it didn't have any standout tracks like "Bored Games" and "Drifter", but I can't even argue that now. "Through the Glass" and "Paradise" (I think it's "Paradise" anyways) are absolutely astounding.

 

[iron yuppie]

The hype is justified. Damn solid album here. I found it a bit odd that the intro to the stream mentioned Robert Smith as an influence, but as I listened I realized just how layered and complex the songs are.

 

[bono_212]

I am going to listen to it again, now, I do believe.

 

[u2popmofo]

Will I like any songs as much as Chinatown?

 

[LemonMelon]

My magic 8-ball says...


I DUNNO, JUST LISTEN TO IT SCUMBO

 

[nielsgov]

Listened to the stream knowing nothing of this artist. I liked it quite a bit.

I'm definitely downloading this, illegally.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm definitely getting on a plane to Belgium later tonight.

 

[nielsgov]

I definitely didn't expect anything less.

You know gun laws are stricter here, right?

 

[u2popmofo]

My body is a gun that shoots bullets of anger.

 

[cobl04]

I listened to it yesterday but it didn't grab me much.

 

[LemonMelon]

That's OK, Scumbo will grab you.

 

[u2popmofo]

With a gun.

Wait, what?

 

[bono_212]

Get out of here with your negativity, Daniel.

And Mofo, since I'm not quite as over the moon about Chinatown as everyone else, let's just say there are at least three songs on this album that rival my love for Drifter and Bored Games, and I'm sure I've made the extent of hat love abundantly clear.

 

[bono_212]

The hardest decision about buying this album, for me, is which cover?

 

[u2popmofo]

Pre-ordered the album 4 songs into the stream.

 

[Danny Boy]

Does the pre-order get you anything special. I may just get the vinyl from my local indie shop.

 

[u2popmofo]

Don't think so, I just did it on Amazon. The label's price + shipping was more expensive and would have arrived later than Amazon.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, Captured Tracks did NOT impress me.

 

[bono_212]

Your lack of response makes me nervous.

(I accidentally called it Through the GLass the other day)

 

[Danny Boy]

Your lack of response makes me nervous

Me or scumbo?

Anyway, I'm just waiting to buy it from my local indie shop.

 

[No spoken words]

Your lack of response makes me nervous.

If you mean Mofo, it's not because he didn't like the album, it's because he spends most of his weekends using Cerebro to track down illegal downloaders.....and, here's the thing: once he tracks one down, they...how do I word this....they no longer download any more music. Illegal or otherwise.

 

[bono_212]

I was referring to Mofo . He said he was four tracks in and then...Who Knows!

Mike:

 

[u2popmofo]

I was attempting to imply that I only needed to hear a tiny bit of the album to realize I must own it.

But yes, NSW's information is factual.

 

[Danny Boy]

How many confirmed kills this weekend?

 

[nielsgov]

I can report that I'm still alive.

 

[cobl04]

I can report that I'm still alive.

He's getting lazy.

Spoiler

Yeah I said it. What of it?
