Petal - Magic Gone (June 15, 2018) Album • Page 5

Comfort is still an absolute stunner of a song

 

Shine may be my favorite

 

Fuckkkkkkk

 

Enjoyed this a lot my first listen. Surprised by how many solo songs there are, though I’m sure they’ll grow on me. The lyrics I caught were gorgeous.

 

Second listen was much better. So much to unpack in those middle songs that I overlooked. Also I can't get over the ending of "I'm Sorry"

 

Album is great. Agreed about the middle being a bit of a lull.

 

My early favorites are Comfort, Shine, and Something From Me.

 

This albums phenomenal. Listening to it I felt like it almost had a live sound, you can hear her pull off from he mic at times. I did some research and sure enough a lot of the vocals were tracked live with the guitars. I love albums like this.

 

Love the "I can't wait forever" reference

 

So glad they’re keeping this up

 

Can you clue me in?

 

Thanks thats real cool

 

I guess it purposefully stopped with Here's To Forever! by CWS which WAS kind of meant to mark the end of it I guess, but I'm all for a sequel slash revival, especially one so meta. Leo had already taken a meta approach but Kiley did something really endearing with it... I kinda hope Ben or Greg or even Bobby take the hint. It would be refreshing to have something like that again.

Oh and the record still hasn't arrived to me which sucks

 

Petal on the Claim That Rock Is Dead: 'If You're Bored With Rock Music, That's Because You're Lazy'

 

are kiley and ben still pals?

 

they're amicable from what's been said, Kiley's said there's no hard feelings. I don't know if they're actively talking but they're basically in the same friend group.

 

The lyrics even seem to paint that it’s amicable, but there’s a definite sadness/nostalgic resolution to the end of a relationship in the narrative of this record. (I have no idea if it’s Ben or not)

I went through and read all of the lyrics this morning, definitely one of the highlights of the album. I can’t wait to spend more time with it. Also cool that Kiley played every instrument except drums on this album, it definitely feels more like a solo effort than Shame and I think it works for the lyrical narrative better that way.

 

Checking this band out for the first time starting with this and I'm liking what I'm hearing

 

So many heart wrenchers on here. I hope this album picks up steam around here a bit more.

 

Still need to listen

 

Finally got to sit down with this for real today and it really is wonderful. I listened three times in a row. So excited for the show with Camp Cope next week

 

Does anyone know if this tour is going to be Kiley solo or full band?

 

it is full band

 

Nice do you know who the others are?
