FIDLAR - Almost Free (January 25, 2019) Band • Page 3

Definite Beastie Boys vibe on Get Off My Rock (but I'm aware that I'm an old).

 

Hahaha I like that comparison better.

Finished the album and I really liked it. Only complaint was Too Real for the lyrics but the rest was pretty great.

 

Haha, Hollywood Undead was my comparison for that song

 

This simultaneously feels like something I’m 5-10 years too old for and I dig it and keep not turning it off

 

whoa wtf hell of an opener

 

Wow this blew my expectations out of the water

 

The first track reminds me of this a bit

 

FIDLAR is a band that's meant a lot to me forever now and they just really REALLY knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm glad they shook things up and went out of their comfort zone more while keeping the core things about them as a band in the best, I would 100% take the horn sections and swagger in Scam Likely than see them play it safe.


Saying this, Nuke is the exact sound that plays in my head under any kind of pressure or stress and I love it for this.

 

This rips

 

‘Scam Likely’ sounds like ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go’ lol

 

The more I listen to this the more I like it and I REALLY liked it initially. Get Off My Rock, Nuke, Almost Free, Good Times Are Over and all the singles are just so fucking good

 

I literally have no idea how they fucking do it, every song sounds like it could've come from a completely different album yet as a whole it's still so cohesive and so very Fidlar

 

By Myself is a groove

 

Can't You See should blow up on alt radio

 

I feel like I've heard Can't You See around which is strange since i can't remember when the last time i would have heard it on the radio would have been.

 

Good Times Are Over is me right now.

first time I was able to go through it all. By Myself, Called You Twice, Too Real, Thought. Mouth, and Good Times Are Over are immediate standouts.

 

get off my rock rules so much

and flake sounds like a song that would play during a tony hawk video game or some early 2000s movie

album rules

 

By Myself has been stuck in my head all week. This album rules.

 

This is pretty badass. Definitely going to be tossing this on a lot this year.

 

I listened to get off my rocks on repeat for my drive to work and it still rules

 

pack it up, time to go home. Pitchfork just called "By Myself" a Smash Mouth song

 

Oh yeah I remember how many times Smash Mouth said 'fuck' in their songs

 

Still jamming this hard, see a lot of hate for it everywhere which bums me out

 

There's hate for this album? Ain't seen it anywhere, only seen largely positive stuff myself

 

Take me to your corners of the internet please
