Enter Shikari - Nothing is True & Everything is Possible (April 17, 2020) Album • Page 3

AFFOC has some bangers (Warm Smiles is still one of their best songs) but also has some of their worst lyrical content lol

GHANDI MATE REMEMBER GHANDI

 

That's one of their best moments lol.

 

Agree to disagree here, I think it's their most ham-fisted. A lot of what I didn't like about AFFOC stems from how forced a lot of the "moments" felt to me

 

yeah "Gandhi" is a truly awful song but at the least it's pretty funny

not spending time with the singles is a crazy choice - "We Can Breathe in Space" and "Rat Race" are absolutely some of their best ever

 

I know they broke Tribalism out for the last tour and that was mad but I’d flip my lid if they did Thumper at some point

 

It's not a choice I just didn't even know they had material that wasn't on their albums. I'll need to make a playlist of them.

 

If you haven't heard Destabilise go listen to that song now

 

Some of their best songs

redshift
Rat race
Slipshod
We can breathe
Radiate
Destabilize

are all up there with their best

 

the last minute of "Redshift" >>>>>>>>

 

pure "euphoria" that I hope rou was referencing in the interview for the new album

 

wow i forgot about redshift! also i absolutely adored The Spark and had a pretty intense affair with Airfield that year.

 

I haven't thought about this band in years but I'm interested to hear what they sound like now. I was super into Take To The Skies and saw them shortly after that record came out and it was INSANE. The Zone and Common Dreads were good too, don't think I've really listened to anything after that.

 

Didn’t realize the amount of love for Common Dreads. I felt that it fell flat after how epic TTTS was. FFOC brought the fire back for them and then Mindsweep capitalized on that. Spark was a creative slump with some solid tracks but all in all I’d say Common Dreads and Spark are on the back end for me.

 

Hoodwinker also SLAPS

 

Common Dreads is a huge improvement over TTTS imo.

 

Still think Mindsweep is THE Shikari album but Common Dreads is right there too

 

Woah! Destabilise is one of their biggest songs (at least it used to be) and Quelle Surprise is one of my favourites by them. Go listen instantly!

 

Don't forget The Paddington Frisk !

 

Just realised how many b-sides they actually have. And even though I've been a huge fan for over a decade, I haven't listened to Keep It on Ice and Acid Nation. I should change that when I get off work.

The b-sides (did I miss anyone?):

The Feast
Kicking Back on the Surface of Your Cheek
Keep It on Ice
Acid Nation

We Can Breathe in Space, They Just Don't Want Us to Escape
All Eyes on the Saint
Tribalism
Thumper
Insomnia (Is there a studio version of this one?)

Destabilise
Quelle Surprise

The Paddington Frisk
Radiate
Rat Race

Slipshod
Redshift
Hoodwinker
Supercharge

Stop The Clocks (???)

DIG IN.

 

yo thats a lot to go through lol.

 

Shikari have such a gigantic list of singles and B-sides, it's quite impressive

 

These two in particular were huge for me back in the day lol

 

Gandhi is great y'all crazy

Yabba dabba do motherfucker

 

Agreed. It's so much fun. "Yabba dabba do one son!"

 

“A Flash Flood of Colour” is my favorite Shikari album, and ‘Thermometers’ and ‘Ghandi’ are my favorite songs on said record and I’m genuinely taken aback that folks have bad things to say about them.
