Deafheaven - Infinite Granite (August 20, 2021) Album • Page 31

I like all their albums except Infinite Granite

 

Oh come on. IG is no. 2

 

Sunbather > New Bermuda > Infinite Granite > OCHL

still need to spin Roads to Judah

 

New Bermuda
Sunbather
OCHL
Infinite Granite
Roads to Judah

Those bottom three could go in any order though depending on the vibe

 

yeah put R2J in the middle there and I agree

 

their demo is really good too

 

New Bermuda is far and away my favorite by the band, but I did really enjoy Infinite Granite. I have liked everything I have heard from them to some extent but have only really listened to anything aside from NB once or twice. very interested to hear where they go next tho, especially if it’s some kind of blend of their heavier and softer material.

 

i think new bermuda is probably better but nothing can top the moment in time associated with sunbather coming out for me

 

I don’t think it was the right time for me for Sunbather when that record came out, I wanted to love it but it just never clicked like that for me. unfortunately I was much too deep in the pop-punk/emo lane at that time lol. have really been wanting to revisit it now that the remastered version is out, maybe I will pick it up on vinyl soon and give it another go.

 

I think it's my favorite, too. IG and Sunbather are right behind, but for me OCHL splits the difference between those two perfectly.

 

There’s a couple bands I like that, for lack of a better word, get a pass to do whatever they want in my eyes. I’ll probably enjoy anything this band does. Kerry is one of my favorite guitarists/song writers.

 

I only really could get into In Blur and Great Mass of Color off on IG(which, I love those 2). I tried multi times on the rest and I hold never click with it.

 

“Honeycomb” and “Canary Yellow” are both fantastic and among their best songs. But the rest of OCHL does very little for me

 

yep

 

I still love the opening one-two punch of You Without End and Honeycomb, and I think the latter is one of their best songs. Canary Yellow and Worthless Animal are great to me too, but I think the album is a real slog between those two songs

 

I love all their shit

 

Love the first 3 albums and about 30 seconds of IG.

 

All of their records are solid but Infinite Granite is my favorite.

 

So,
When do we think we're getting anything? Or how long do you think this rollout is going to be?

 

Maybe something on Friday? Or early next week?

 

New single “Magnolia” dropping Sunday according to the deafheaven subreddit

 

Sunday? That’s weird.

 

There’s no source or anything either so a grain of salt on this one.

 

I’ve never heard of a band dropping a single on a Sunday but I’d love that!

 

Kinda think over time the primacy of Friday as new release day will decline as more acts figure out that only artists who care about first week chart placement need to worry about what day of the week things drop

anyway looking forward, I'm on team "IG is the best" camp. it's not just the vocals (though I was delighted to learn the cleans were actually quite strong), it's the self-editing.
