Touché Amoré - Stage Four (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 12

Idk Palm Dreams and Displacement sound like a pretty natural progression from ISB so I'd think you'd like it. Assuming you haven't heard the whole thing.

I've heard it but not since the year it was released. I listened to it like 4/5 times and thought it was solid but it didn't really make that much of an impression. These grab me straight away. I'll probably go back to ISB if I get super into the new one.

 

Just wanna chime in to say that Hiding is the best song ever

 

this is true

 

Pianos is an amazing band. Keep You and The Lack Long After are two of my all time favorites. LD and Touche have both been getting better with each release too, imo. Also, Defeater is cool. I also wasn't into them that much before until Abandoned came out and I read up on the story and realized how dark it is.

 

Nothing LD or touché has done to this point holds a candle to Hiding. But I have my hopes up for the julien baker track on this one.

 

I'd take pretty much any song from Wildlife and a good amount of Rooms over Hiding honestly.

 

I think my biggest gripe with abandoned is that the priests storyline just doesn't seem like it needs a full album to tell. Like it could've been achieved to a higher degree had they made it an ep or something. I, like many others, was expected an album from the mothers view so I was also a bit disappointed on that front.

 

I won't rank them all I'll just say keep you is far and away the best album this scene has seen in an extremely long time and I'm continuously shocked people don't see that

 

I don't think it's bad I just don't like his singing voice so I can't listen to it.

 

-spyki

 

yep.

 

Well I stand by my opinion on what weakens it for me and why I think Rooms is far superior

 

I'm way late but fuck, "Displacement"

 

bummed at the vega and altair hate. i love that album. came out during a super vulnerable/emotional time in my life and just wrecked me unlike anything else ever has. i don't go back to it much and i think it gets shit on alot cause of the darling shit but fuck it's a beautiful album.

 

I think it's great and better than Wildlife

 

I can't fathom liking it more than Wildlife, haha. I think every song on Wildlife is better than any song on there.

 

Not sure why I wasn't subbed to this thread, but based on the two singles this album is going to be really special.

 

I think said the king to river is the best song they've written to date

 

i like somewhere more than most, but still, only about half that album is salvageable

 

im going to agree with those that have said Keep You is the best album from the wave bands.
I think Wildlife is one of the most well written / immersive albums I've ever heard, but due to what was going on for me at the time of its release and how much I latched onto it, I rarely listen to it now. It just brings back too much that I want to forget. Which is a shame, because I really do think it is a genius piece of art.

 

Also let us not forget how good "The Lack Long After" is. Keep You is only a small small notch ahead of that record for me. Both beautiful in their own right.

 

All three pianos records are masterpieces

 

man... these new Touche songs are so good. Theyre already my favorite things ive heard from this band, im really excited for this record. And i cannot wait to hear the track with Julien Baker.

 

talking HUM

I didn't know this vid existed!! amazing!!
