    Feel like while pretty singular overall, they’re also equally in debt to the stones, Radiohead, and the strokes. Band sounds like a lot of other bands and yet exactly themselves at the same time. And Cobra is the best song of the year.

    sounds more stonesy in the vocals and guitars imo but yeah they definitely seem to be an influence

    Band fucking rules, saw them tonight. Hanging on hard as one of my favorite albums of the year, especially the deluxe version which has a couple of the best songs as bonus tracks. Just an awesome album

    This is a very pretty sounding album and it fit the mood I was in when I gave it a listen last night. I can see this being one of those albums I put on when I want to feel cozy.

    Been listening to this all weekend. All these songs rule but this is such an oddly structured album. Ending it w 2 interludes followed by a song that starts at 1/4 volume and builds is something. Love all three but it’s a weird listen

    Her breaking first week sales records and whatnot is sooo much less impressive when she pads her numbers this fucking much.

    i like want it all at the end. i don’t fully understand why meander / sprouting wings / a million reasons why are where they are. i think million reasons paired really nicely with float personally. but overall my second listen is really nice. the vinyl sounds great. i missed jay som.

    ya I was ready to declare this a perfect comeback but it’s gonna take me a few more listens to figure out if the last run of 3 songs is great or if it ends on a slight downswing

    This rules overall on first listen. Her production is so good and it’s so good to hear her write songs again. What You Need immediate standout track, gonna need some more listens to figure out if it stands up to the other records but this lived up to the wait for the most part.

    Ayyyyy. Came with this lil flexi too, not sure what’s on it. Decent sized foldout poster too with a bunch of photos from the studio and notes about the making of the record. Stoked to listen in a bit

    Fuck might have to go if he’s playing those. Fitting he’d drop the best song off USA for this tour since he dropped the best song from lean into life (Apple TV) on the USA tour

    Finally saw this today and it completely lived up to the massive hype for me. Absolutely beautifully shot, amazingly well-written (it balances being hilarious and extremely thrilling/stressful so well) and the performances are incredible. Chase Infiniti is a revelation and I just fucking love watching Leo act I really need to go back and watch the PTA movies I haven't seen, I've only seen Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love, Inherent Vice and Licorice Pizza

    Uncut Gems was stressful, not fun, and left me feeling existentially drained.

    do you guys think the Fate of Ophelia is a reference to Althea by the Grateful Dead which is famously the song that got John Mayer into the band and is one of his favorites to play and includes the below stanza You may be the fate of Ophelia Sleeping and perchance to dream Honest to the point of recklessness Self-centered to the extreme

    Finally saw it last night, unbelievable movie. Easily my favorite PTA since blood, though I do like all of them. Something I thought was interesting was how funny it was, but I was so stressed for so much of the movie that at a couple points I found myself one of the handful in the theater actually not laughing. I’m guessing it’s going to play more carefree funny when I see it again. Vistavision was beautiful, I’ve seen most of the big 70mm releases in 70 but this was one of the times it really stuck out to me how perfectly bright and sharp the picture was. Grateful to have the Coolidge in Boston (Brookline). The scene when the tracker started playing the melody while Willa was in the dance bathroom hit me incredibly hard, instant raising of the stakes and barely a moment with the foot off the gas from there til the end.

    yeah actually probably my single biggest criticism of bleeds is that the way love goes feels like a direct revisit of what How Can You Live did on Twin plagues, but while being one of the weaker songs on the record instead of one of the best

    Twin Plagues I like the most throughout, I agree that Turkey Vultures, and Bull Believer are their best songs, but after that it’s Twin Plagues (the song) Cody’s Only, One More Last One. I just like when the guitars get really sporadic and Swirlies Esc, How Can You Live Is also their best slow song, the slower ones on the newer records just don’t hit as high. I don’t consider Elderberry Wine a slow one.
