Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins (August 18, 2017) Album • Page 5

They'll be on Colbert tonight

 

this can't go by th way side lets go

 

Honestly feel bad for this band and Cloakroom because there's no way I can focus after Brand New

 

This is up on Apple Music now. Starting it in 5

 

do we really have to back to hearing that bands name in every thread?

ill be slammed at work and really want to actually focus on my first listen. probably won't be until later

 

This is incredible. I'm sort of pleasantly surprised. Idk why. Shame on me. "Wasted Acres" what an intro.

 

feelin real bad for them and cloak right now tbh

 

I really enjoyed this on first listen. There weren't really any songs that stood out on first listen, but everything was really consistently well done

 

Few tracks in rn. The opener is incredible.

 

got halfway thru then had to go back to brand new

 

I loved Science Fiction. But think I'm liking this more.

 

song reminded me a ton of radiohead

this is a good album but i don't think it's as incredible as shields, not that that's the easiest thing to do

 

Yea that's my fav GB record. This being overlooked makes me think the world has moved past my music. I'm starting to feel like the old guy who reads rolling stone for the 5 star Dylan and Springsteen reviews.

 

Are we just comparing this to Brand New hype based on this site because that's an extremely unfair metric

 

Yes.

People literally feel sorry for Grizzly Bear based on it? lmao I think they'll be okay

 

Haha absolutely unfair.

But when I say "overlooked" there seems to be a big shoulder shrug throughout the music world. I wasnt referring to this site exactly. At least that's the sense I've gotten.

 

And agreed they are still a heavy weight indie rock band.

 

P4K dropping a 7.3 for this record

 

There's just too much good music haha

 

not surprising, weirdly enough ian cohen and steve hyden sort of hit it on the mark, where old indie rock bands who are still putting out great records aren't getting the credit they used to because the buzz is just in a different realm now. i've noticed this happening with a bunch of bands

 

Ian Cohen and Steve Hyden are still my go to music writers/critics. They together make up a majority of my taste. Though Hyden dabbles a little more in heartland rock than I prefer. And Cohen likes the 1975 way too much. But I understand that's a big band around these parts.

Also Dan Ozzi is great, as well as Tom Breihan

 

Hyder is great and his review of this was a little more positive.

 

Yea. Hyden, Cohen, CoS, and The Ringer have all praised it.

 

"Losing All Sense" woooooow

 

And Cut-out?! God damn, I'm loving this.
