Black Country, New Road - For The First Time (February 5, 2021) Album • Page 2

Sunglasses is still absolutely amazing even if it’s not quite the same

 

In what way is it different from the previous version?

 

For one, the “fuck me like you mean it” bit was cut. That was the most noticeable part to me. It sounds a little less chaotic, too - but it’s still wild.

 

this is so good

 

has a really cool post-rock kinda intro and then... It is pretty much the same with the profanity removed and Isaac's vocals are super reserved and honestly bored-sounding

 

first time listening to this band and I'm absolutely blown the fuck away..

this might sound weird but its like a super aggressive Leonard Cohen singing over frantic Skramz tunes

 

i am in LOVE with the horns on this thing.. holy shit

 

every once in a while a piece of art comes along and shakes me to my core. this is one of those

 

I cannot wait to see what they do next

 

Opus is one of the best things I've ever heard

 

Just listened to the original version of Sunglasses and I'm not even really sure what to say. Absolutely fucking thrilling, wildly ambitious music

 

one of the best singles of the entire decade. I'm not sure they'll ever top it

 

This record is fucking wild. Just ordered the vinyl.

 

“I don't think it's an incredible, incredible album, but I do think it's an honest portrayal of what we were like and what we sounded like when those songs were written,” Black Country, New Road frontman Isaac Wood tells Apple Music of his Cambridge post-punk outfit’s debut LP. “I think that's basically all it can be, and that's the best it can be.”


I think it's pretty incredible tho

 

he's just being modest

 

I honestly don’t think Track X has gotten enough hype. It’s an extremely cool track.

 

phoeobe bridgers reference in track 2?

'why do you sing with an english accent..guess it's too late to change it now."

 

I was just playing this at work. Not sure if the customers liked it but my colleague was somewhat surprisingly alllllll about it.

 

I noticed that too! they seem to like referencing pop culture, it can’t be a coincidence

 

my favourite on the album tbh, such a lovely song

 

I think that’s my favorite too, it kind of reminds me of something from Sleep Well Beast

Beautiful song, hope we get to see more from that side of the band on the next one

 

This is interesting

 

This is better than my high expectations

 

This album is really good, I like it! A nice combination of chaos and rest.

Sunglasses is still great. The new intro is better, it just takes a bit longer to hear his voice get more agressive. I kinda miss the "Fuck me like you used to"-part, but not in such way that it destroys the song. I will get used to it rather quick.

 

Also, the new intro reminds me of Pink Maggit by Deftones.
