Microwave - Death is a Warm Blanket (September 13th, 2019) Album • Page 9

Oh wow I’m reading that Kerrang interview. Love that list of 5 bands.



Edit: Holy shit this thing is crazy. I have no idea what my final thoughts will be. But Hate TKO/Pull is like everything I loved about bands like underoath.

 

Can’t wait to jam this after work

 

I don't really follow this band at all so went in without hearing anything and WOW not what I expected from their previous stuff I've heard. They go in on this thing. I think after one listen, Mirrors is probably the biggest highlight for me but I love how heavy and aggressive the majority of this record is!

 

This album goes HARD. Favorite track so far is probably "Pull."

 

This is amazing. These guys absolutely crushed it. Up there with Somos and Oso in terms of best stuff I’ve heard all year.

 

Got about halfway through on my drive in this morning and get a lot of "Cope" vibes from a few tracks, even a little thrice on "brakeman has resigned".

 

One of my favorite first listens of the year. “Pull” into “Love’s...” was the biggest standout for me, although I’m really confused why they’re separate tracks. Also wish the vocals weren’t so buried. Overall, it wasn’t what I was expecting but still is a hell of an album.

 

I want to like this but I’m kind of not feeling the new direction. I’ll give it some listens because it sounds like a grower, but I miss some of the feel from Much Love/Stovall

 

Back half of this is unreal. After reading that Alternative interview I think Nathan’s gonna be a really great songwriter to grow up with. Gimme that Psych R&B record!!!!

 

jfc this is really good. who produced this??

 

Matt Goldman

 

pull makes me want to cry

 

I’ve decided this record is what Citizen’s Everybody Is Going To Heaven was supposed to be

 

That lead into Carry is the stand out to me

 

The singles were too hard for my taste. I love their first record and like the second a lot as well but those singles were way more heavy.

I'll give it a listen but this wasn't what I was expecting.

 

The hole in my soul has been filled

 

holyfuckingshit this album kicks a fuckton of ass

 

Carry remains my favorite but goddamn

 

Man, between this, Somos, and Oso Oso, these new emo adjacent bands have really found their voices in the past month and it RULES

 

"I found my niche in this pile of shit, I've got nothing left to lose" is the quintessential Microwave line

 

how far do you wanna go

 

Diggin this. Got my vinyl yesterday and spun it once. Already listened to it twice on spotify this morning.

At first I was a little bummed in the heavier direction but I can always go back and listen to Much Love & Stovall and I think this will continue to grow on me even more.

 

It just gets better and better with every spin.

 

Microwave - Death Is A Warm Blanket Hand Numbered Viny LP might get this even though I want that pinwheel variant

 

Another album that scratched an itch
