Theremin

Ha, it was only a matter of time before the obvious best song on this album got its own hate-thread.

It's pretty obvious when you listen to it with headphones. I really can't imagine noone noticed this, so it's probably intentional.

"Leave it. It

Yeah, I noticed this as well, it's pretty obviously there. Guess it was intentional.

There's obviously some similarities between them but after the hysteric discussion surrounding it I was expecting more of a blatant rip-off.

Of course, this album is a bit more eclectic than their previous 4 efforts which all seemed to propagate more or less a single idea, so naturally that leads to the fact that it's easier to rearrange the individual songs without losing vital parts of the CD as a whole. Actually, the same counts for Being There.

I think it's actually an improvement. BBN has a more organic kind of urgency over it, whereas spiders sounded a little too forced.

Better not try to look at it, though.

Still beats Neko Case's & Hold Steady's latest releases in the boring department though.

Haha, brilliant. @Howjado: those things are typically Belgian in general, well except maybe for the pies.

The live version sounded more AGIB to me. Also, I just wanted to use the very meaningful words 'dad rock' in a sentence. Next up: comptemporary adult.

Really dissapointing how they sucked the epicness right out of One Wing, it's like they dad rocked it down. Such a shame.

Hmm, I feel like they really could've done more with One Wing (the live version floating around was a lot richer) & Everlasting (ends just when it starts to get interesting). Also, as mentioned before You & I really sounds like something that will be played to the background of some corny emotional scene in one of those annoying soap-hybrids (though I actually get that feeling with all things Feist). I really dig Deeper down, Bull black Nova & Sonny Feeling (a vast improvement over earlier versions) though.

Ya, but the local vibe in Bruges is kinda defined by lots of local old people (it's like the Florida of Belgium) and Japanese tourists with oversized camera's. Well, that's the way people in Belgium usually regard it anyway (except the ones who actually are from Bruges of course). Ghent is indeed the real deal, it has actually no less of the medival history stuff but at least you don't feel like walking into a gigantic open air museum.

Seriously, Bruges is just one big tourist trap.

They anncounced that like a month ago.

They've had better.

Their raving review of YHF

Pitchfork will rate it 6.1. Slightly better than SBS but still not enough YHF & too much dad rock to deserve higher ratings.

Rhetorical questions... internet's final frontier.

Really? That's about the worst Lee Ranaldo song ever. The verses remind me of a song by EBM-prodigies Covenant (not a compliment when you're SY) & the chorus never really gets off the ground.

Pink Steam is a nice Jam but they've done better. Kinda falls flat when compared to e.g. the similar Rain on Tin.

But I was being pathetic as well, I remember even thinking: "hmm, that's quite odd compared to the RS interview" etc. And I'm not drunk. All the time. Edit: well, what preferedB said.

Actually, 2 days ago it was still named 'sunny feeling' on their official site. They deviously editted it (just like they did with everlasting everything).

That obviously implies you aren't a true fan. Though War on War has a valid point, Incinerate is a pretty great song. Too bad the rest of the album doesn't live up to it.
