Lauren Mayberry - Vicious Creature (December 6, 2024) Album • Page 7

yeah, now's the time to do this

 

This was argued about in another thread recently but…the first single released last year is the closer haha

 

Croc tears is super fun

 

just added the album on AM and saw that and thought of that conversation happening around here a bunch lol

 

Just as well I didn't listen at the time - I've heard Shame and that's it!

 

Smart man

 

No MI date rip

 

What was the argument? Do people really hate knowing the closing track in advance or whatever?

 

Depends on who's asking but I tend to skip songs revealed as closers then released as singles in advance, yeah.

 

yep

(it’s me, I’m people)

 

@Jason Tate since the record is (finally!) out Friday, can you edit the thread title to the correct information..lol

 

you can edit from the first post you made, peep my screenshot

 

Wait is that new?? I thought a mod always had to edit thread titles

I could have done it all this time Jesus Christ lol

 

not sure, I've always edited my own threads that way!

 

I swear that used to be a thing but I also never make threads. Anyway. Fixed it!

 

it looks beautiful, i am proud of you shea!

 

also crazy you made the thread last summer, and now a year and a half later the album is finally here!

 

My biggest accomplishment/embarrassment on the site haha

 

hey at least its actually coming out unlike 'the new ataris album' or something like that hahahah

 

Punch Drunk is the only thing here I don’t really like on first listen but overall I really enjoy this now that I’m finally hearing the new songs and the already released songs in context.

Back half is particularly strong for me but Are You Awake should not be the closer when you have Sunday Best right there haha

And Sorry Etc rips!

 

Whole album of Sorry Etc plz

 

Looking forward to hearing this tomorrow. Could see it being a last minute entry into my top 10 of the year pretty easily.

Curious how “Are You Awake” feels as a closer. Maybe it’s just because it was the first song released, but it always felt like it could be a mellow opener leading into a more lively second track (an approach to openers I often love).

 

Oh boo, I thought that cracked black / white design was the record, not the CD. The record is plain black. Goes with the cover, at least.

The intro of Crocodile Tears seems like it should be in an 80's adventure romcom like Romancing the Stone.
