Listening to Pink Lemonade this morning, god this album still rules so hard. Can’t wait for this band’s next album, they take their time but haven’t missed a step yet.
Easily my favorite song the record. I like Pink Lemonade a lot- when it’s great it’s REALLY great! However, I think it’s just too unfocused. I always skip about half of the record cause I get bored and it feels like it drags on. Neoprene, Brahmatron, Beckon Fire, Mauerbauertraurigkeit, Dinosaur, and “ピンク レモネード are specifically the ones I always skip over. I wish they replaced one of those songs with The Impeccable Beast. Such a jam and they left it off.... why?? Anyways- I really hope the new record is a little more toned down and focused.
I wanted to fall in Love with PL, and I do respect it, but it's one of those cases where I guess the band "matured" more than I could handle all at once. "Brahmatron" and "Technochrist" are jams, but it's been awhile since I listened because I skip most of the record. First Temple is still the perfect balance between the fairly straightforward post-hardcore on the first EP and the more ambitious/eclectic approach they started tending toward later.
I tend to agree. Never gave Pink Lemonade nearly the same amount of play I gave First Temple or Penance and the Patience.
Okay well... I did tweet at the band recently and they responded with this: Not hard news, but it’s something
So bummed that the Protest the Hero tour sold out before CIM was announced AND they decided to play First Temple
I only started listening to them about a year ago, but I frickin adore First Temple. Kissing Cousins is stuck in my head every day.
Got to see them once (opening for Emery I believe) and they blew me away. "First Temple" is definitely one of those albums I go back to now and again and love it just as much as the first time I heard it.
I enjoy about half of Pink Lemonade (and that half is incredible) but for me, it's all about First Temple. I got the vinyl pressing of it they released last year and it sounds phenomenal.
I actually thought we wouldn't have to wait another 5 years for a follow up like last time... and it's about to be 6 years lol
