radiokills Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 according to pitchfork, wolf parade will issue a new full length on june 17th, titles are still being decided. i really like apologies to the queen mary, and they put on a good show, so i think my excitement is justified.

bleedorange Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Definitely one of my most anticipated releases of the year. Apologies to the Queen Mary was incredible! I can only hope the new one is just as good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiokills Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 really? i had a great time when i saw them. maybe they're hit or miss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_ashtray_says Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i missed my handsome furs show last night (one of the guys from wolf parade) due to other social responsibilities, kinda bummed, but the last two times i saw them they were great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, at the show I attended they did report that one of the members of the band was ill and unable to participate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 have seen them 3 or 4x now, been fantastic all of them, but one was head and shoulders above the rest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 this record is a total mixed bag... Dan definitely wins the MVP of this record too, Spencer's tracks aren't nearly as great as his Apologies tunes and could mostly all be trimmed by a minute or more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah, Spencer (and Dan, for that matter) has been on a downhill slide ever since Apologies, really. He just keeps becoming more and more self-indulgent with each project, it seems. That said, it's weird to me that his biggest problem on this disc is that his songs are mostly pretty boring and never really get off the ground. I think California Dreamer is a great song, but the rest of his tunes are disappointing. Dan, on the other hand, sounds revitalized, and I think quite a few of his songs are winners here. Maybe it's me, but I get a real psychedelic, early '70s vibe from the entire record. Nowhere near as good as the debut, but still pretty damned solid in the scheme of things.

solace Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 yeah... i'd agree that it's really solid overall but certainly doesn't touch Apologies (nor is there any song on here as good as I'll Believe, Shine A Light, Dear Sons & Daughters, and maybe This Heart's On Fire either.) while overblown and a bit long, the last song's payoff is definitely worth the long wait i think.

DAngerer09 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Solace! I don't recognize you anymore with that new avatar. I need to give this album a listen soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knepps Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I really liked Apologies, I'm looking forward to this quite a bit. Hopefully I can catch them at First Ave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i loved Mary as well.that first officially released mp3 sounded promising.then i read about the 'epic' sounding long song. i get the two singers names mixed uptell me which is which; which one sounds kinda like bowieand which one sounds kinda like beck i know of all their side projects but have yet to check any of them out.same with New P's and the Bejar stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 the warbler that sounds somewhat like Bowie is Spencer, the Beck meets Iggy Pop dude is Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 finally have gotten to give this a listen through - though not all at once. i still love Call It a Ritual - it's the one stuck in my head anyways. i'm trying to figure out how you keep time on this (for any music theorists) - does it start in 3/4 and change to 4/4 (or something weird) for the mellow part?
