L.S. Dunes - Violet (January 31, 2025) • Page 4

This is sick. Love love love Haunted.

 

Playing a 500 seat place in my town... just got tickets with the presale. Hell yeah. Seeing FIL for the 3rd time in 12 month span.

 

Going through my first listen and this is already superior to their debut, interesting guitar parts and vocal harmonies

 

The bass is, yet again, my favorite part of the album. It drives every song.

Like Magik has some dark and droney The Cure vibes that I appreciate.

 

This is rad. Already feels significantly better than the first LP

 

On first listen, the repetition of the "It's shaking in its cage" lyric in Things I Thought Would Last Forever really hit the spot.

There's some beautiful guitar tones throughout, too. On Holograms, for example.

The singles are particularly strong for this record.

 

Really enjoying this.

 

Looking forward to checking this out today

 

It’s good

 

You Deserve to Be Haunted was a definite standout

 

I definitely do not like this more than the debut at the moment but it is really good.

 

This is fucking great. Forgiveness!

 

The band sounds great and this ends really strong. "Forgiveness" might be my favorite Dunes song yet.

 

You’re gonna get what you deserve

 

jessus christ the opener is better than anything they've put out previously. So excited to hear the rest

 

Forgiveness is great

 

Review is up! L.S. Dunes – Violet

 

adored the opener. debut did nothing for me. hoping this changes.

 

I love the debut but I’m glad people who didn’t are enjoying this one because they’re a great band.

 

Not sure why their debut didn't fully grab me, but Violet is fantastic—"Things I Thought Would Last Forever" is a fucking jam.
I'll have to give their first one another listen.

 

I think the best songs from both of these albums would make a great record.

Both albums are pretty good, but neither of them are really my kind of "rock" music. I've only listened once, but I think the highs are higher on the debut while this one is probably more consistent.

 

WHY is a song as good as "How Dare You" not a fucking album cut???

 

P much this. Both are roughly half filler for me. The singles had me expecting a bit better from Violet. It's still solid.

I keep thinking about this too... all 3 of the one off songs released between the LPs would've been in the top half of the Violet tracklist. Especially if Benadryl got the better LP quality production.

 

I cant wait to be done working so I can break dry jan with a beer and a headphone listen.

 

At first blush, this rips. I love that I can tell that's Travis busting out those leads.
