Deafheaven - Lonely People With Power (March 28, 2025) Album • Page 14

I’ve had “all hail now the panopticon” stuck in my head all day

 

I gave Sunbather a listen today and this album blows it out of the water

 

The slowed down riff on Revelator is a big highlight for me

 

The audacity to feature Paul Banks and then add salt to the wound by rubbing in how they get chix.

 

New Bermuda and Sunbather are GOATED, but I am also starting to wonder if this is their best. Hate to be annoying about it, I just really can't stop listening to it.

 

Neither can I.

 

OCHL is better than Sunbather and New Bermuda but I agree, this might be their best

 

that sure is one of the takes of all time

 

OCHL isn't bad (and would be many other bands' best album), but I don't think it really touches Sunbather or New Bermuda.

 

Honeycomb is one of their best songs. Otherwise, I think OCHL is kind of just a bunch of good songs with great moments, but I do love You Without End, Canary Yellow, and Worthless Animal too

 

it has two great borderline perfect songs, a few good ones, and some real bad ones

 

Name em brother

 

I like the record up until "Night Song," which is probably my least favorite of George's clean vocals.

 

I love Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, You Without End gives me a feeling no other song of theirs does. I do think the album would be better without Night People, never cared for that one.

 

My man

 

yeah, night people, the opener and near aren’t it

 

Opener is fun, kind of a Queen-ified version of "Brought to the Water"

 

That guitar melody towards the end of You Without End always sends me

 

I ran my first ever ten miles to OCHL and I’ll never forget that run because of the music. Felt like I was about to fly away.

 

i adore OCHL

 

bought tickets to see them for the first time!

 

They’re so good live

 

I feel like Deafheaven are just such smart songwriters. It’s clear they’re aware black metal is really abrasive and exhausting when served straight up, so they toss in a little post rock, slip in some singing, tweak the tempos, add a little catchy lead, drop a random alternative rock riff, and ride dynamic waves both hushed and huge. There’s always something to latch on to.

PS: I think the track sequencing on here is absolutely perfect too.

 

Echoing everyone else that this is very good. Amethyst and the marvelous orange tree are my favorites so far
