Well fuck me sideways, this is a MASSIVE bounce back. I didn’t even dislike Love Is Dead, but this has all the intensity and emotional investment that one was lacking for me. When the back half of “Asking for a Friend” washes over…chills. Just emotionally overwhelming.
Haven’t listened to an album by them for a while but thought I’d give this one a go. Thanks for convincing me - a worthwhile purchase! Really enjoying it so far.
Does anyone have an extra digital download of this available? For some reason the band’s discography has been removed from streaming and digital outlets in my country. And it’s gonna take a while for physical copies to reach me.
you got tickets? lucky! yeah you’re 100% going to lose your mind. the place is SO tiny. great spooky vibes too
the new songs went especially hard live. hntd needs to be on the setlist forever. they nailed their killing moon cover too. most importantly, the whole crowd losing it during the drop in clearest blue is a feeling ive dreamt about the whole pandemic. I’ll be thinking about this show for awhile.
Lol didn’t refresh to see the YT link posted right above mine..whoops. Also ughhh they didn’t play Final Girl?
Clearest Blue is what I’ve been needing throughout the pandemic and is the exact moment I’m waiting for.
the clearest blue drop at pitchfork the first time they played it in the states at least was soooo special
I was at that show in Central Park right after Every Open Eye released. It started raining right as the drop hit for Clearest Blue. You can watch it here. One of the coolest concert moments in my life.
I’ve always been a pretty casual fan of this band, but this is super good. Might be my favorite for them. This or EOE.
Ha I just came here to post something extremely similar. However I think I have even less exposure to them so this is blowing me away.
EOE is a masterclass,Screen Violence is great so far but it’s one of those albums that you need to hear the songs live to fully appreciate it. Pretty much what they were going for on the last one
