After 3 listens (and a mind-clearer walk after the 2nd) the fog dissolves and the songs come out in all their beauty. It could seriously be amazing, let's see.

First impressions are very good... very good indeed. Only Tomorrow and In Another Way are amazing tracks. And I hate using the word amazing.

If there is, it's going to be a seriously amazing year. :yeah:

But yeah, despite all the overhype, I think most fans are happy with it.

I'm still letting it all sink in but I can't complain one bit. It is a very worthy successor to Loveless. We all knew that couldn't be topped... Especially since it was fairly groundbreaking and so much has been done with shoegaze since then, but this is indeed a very damn good album. It walks a great balance of expanding and exploring just enough and giving us that signature My Bloody Valentine-ism that fans want in the first place.

I really haven't been this excited for an album for a long time... The slow burning opener was perfect to calm me down a bit. That was then followed by the most satisfying 40 minutes of music the I have heard in quite a while.

In Another Way is an absolute masterpiece. Its like trip hop, and the progressions are very unpredictable. It is really colourful.

Only 8027 days to go till the next album :tramp:

I just listened to Sometimes and while I liked the feel, it just seemed to drag out quite a bit... I don't think it's a bad song, actually for some reason I expected it to be ****ty, but it did impress me. Perhaps if someone could recommend one of their better songs as I've never bothered listening to them, it would be helpful to get more of an enlightened idea regarding their music.

I respect that you at least give them a try, most people who wouldn't necessarily be drawn to this music would not even give it a chance. I like you Rjinn :)

That was much better. I like the odd sounding riffs. The vocals somewhat remind me of The Dandy Warhols. I should give this band more of a chance. Thanks Po!
