Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 22

I remember I was able to grab full downloads of the intro, the 2 interludes, and Fear of Good from that site. I had a playlist of those, plus Goodness pt. 1, Piano Player, Soft Animal, and the original Settle the Scar that I played over and over.

 

Hope with get an NPR stream of this soon. Can’t take it anymore.

 

If we get one it’s either next Thursday or the Monday after

 

Sort of wanted my first listen to be on vinyl.. so I may hold off.. also arnt npr streams bad quality?

 

so will this be the spiritual successor to the Goodness thread

because I’m ok with that

 

I agree! My hype for this is at insanely high levels

 

There's something so riveting about bands within this scene crafting albums that put everyone else on hold.

 

To this day dealer is still growing on me. I still play it all the time. If this albums at that level I could see this band pushing into my top tier.

 

It’s better than Dealer imo. And I loved Dealer after awhile

 

there’s good bands and then there’s the crazy good bands

we got / are getting a few records from top tier bands this year

 

Still think Eiffel is my favorite song of theirs. But I expect something off this album will usurp it.






Eiffel fucking rips live doh

 

It took me months and months to get into Dealer. It just didn’t click with me (some songs still don’t).

But this instantly clicked.

 

Much of this album sounds like a direct response to Anthony Ronald McDonald's criticisms of the instrumentation and vocals on Dealer.

 

Also, I'm dying that "Ronald McDonald" was automatically corrected to "Ronald McDonald." I'm definitely new here.

 

You’ll catch on fast enough lol

 

haha yeah, that dude sucks and is not liked around these parts.

 

Well, I definitely missed those criticisms since I don't watch Ronald's stuff, but I was way more into the vocal style on Dealer than what I'm hearing from these new songs. That's the main reason I'm not extremely hyped for this based on what I've heard.

 

The vocals on dealer are great, my guess is the new one will be a little less reserved from what I’ve heard. Connor is an incredible vocalist though so I’m not too worried

 

Oh, he’s certainly got the ability. I’m questioning whether his vocals on the new record are going to be my cup of tea, as I really enjoyed his more reserved, often lower register vocals on Dealer. I’ll reserve judgment until I actually hear the album though.

 

I love his lower range stuff too, @slowheart and of that stuff on here??

 

Yeah. There's something for everyone on here. It's a really unique record overall

 

It's in the twelve steps
Against a death threat
It's like a seatbelt
Against a hurricane
You're in the first class
Against a tailspin
With the dizygotic twin of god in the cockpit

 

Had to Google that one.
