'Arch Enemy' is about a sentient fatberg. I'm not kidding.

 

LET'S FUCKING GO

 

I've grown to really enjoy this band. Neither of these new songs is really hitting me, but every song they write is so interesting in its own way, and Arch Enemy is a tight groove

 

I love this band so much and am so excited to hear something new so soon

 

Here for it

 

Girlfriend and I thought the line was 'fatberg you smell' when we heard it on Radio 1 last night.

 

if im being honest, i doubt they will ever be able to top arc for me, but im still excited for any new music. dig the two singles more than the last album

 

there's someone I know on FB who feels Arc is their masterpiece. I find it to be their weakest record by far, but I revisited it recently and I liked it a little more than years ago. I still feel it is much more flawed/includes more filler than any of their others though.

 

It's pretty great - definitely a top-tier album from them. Still wrapping my head around it because there's a lot more going on production-wise, but the slightly different lyrical style (using less words without watering down the headiness) works really well.

 

Oh hey, nice chatting to you last night! (Context: we're both trying to sort interviews with Jon for different places. I haven't heard the album yet but he has.)

 

Can you love me more than the planets?

 

Album moved back to 11th September, but there's a UK/Ireland tour announced for next year!

 

The promo copy sounds different from the official release - this one has much more depth to it and actually brings the song to life. (It's supposed to sound like it's "mastered wrong", per the press release, which explains why it's still really loud)

People are complaining about the mixing on fan forums but they don't know how it initially sounded lol

 

This is instantly the best thing I’ve heard from them in a while. I dig the mixing a ton

 

I spoke to Mike about 6 weeks back, and my interview with him has just gone up!

Interview: Everything Everything | Beats Per Minute

 

about to dive in

 

holy shit black hyena

 

It Was A Monstering is a good Radiohead song.

Digging this.

 

Honestly really bored by the non-singles after the first two tracks. Maybe it’s a grower.

 

This is really growing on me. Starts a little slow, but I’m very into the stretch from Planets to In Birdsong. Black Hyena is my current favorite

 

The Actor and Violent Sun are especially fantastic

 

This grooves really nicely. Prefer the first half to the second half on first listen but I like the sonics of the whole thing.

I presume this band loves Kid A.
