Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life (Jan 27, 2017) Album • Page 16

I'd say it's still very distinctly Japandroids, but there are some flourishes that show them branching out a bit on True Love And A Free Life Of Free Will and Arc Of Bar

 

track three hell yes

 

I think the diversity lies in tempo and intensity. They were mostly pedal to the medal on both with the last record. This one benefits from better control of dynamics. Still very much them though

 

Arc of Bar holy fuck

 

yup, they're able to keep what makes them such a special band perfectly in tact so the big differences dont seem that big even. which is impressive because its very clearly unlike anything theyve ever done

 

fucking hell, this is so good

 

This is so good. Arc of Bar, damn

 

In A Body Like A Grave... Holy shit.

 

This is amazing. Absolutely love Celebration Rock but after only a couple of listens I like this more

 

this is so fucking fantastic

 

This album is a jam

 

God damn how am I just now realizing this? I have to leave for work in 10 minutes. Should I listen through my phone speakers or wait till I can blast it through my sound system at home tonight or tomorrow?

 

this is a fucking treat overall, with Arc of Bar being an early favorite

 

The latter.

 

Arc of Bar has some serious Sympathy For the Devil vibes.

 

Dang, I'm totally going to buy this CD

If other want to do the same: Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life - Amazon.com Music

 

"Arc of Bar" getting some early love ....

 

I would agree, but I would suggest going on their official store, show the band some love as directly as possible. I just grabbed that clear vinyl bundle.

 

Yeah, pretty much my only option haha

 

Ha, Steven Hyden told me I was going to have a "lonely opinion" on that song.

 

Doesn't look like you can purchase a CD copy there?

 

Heh, Steven and I definitely agree. Hahaha.

 

Which is totally fine, haha. I'm glad people are digging it. It's not like I hate the song or anything. It's not "For Love of Ivy." I just connect more with the other seven.

 

haha i saw that this morning
