Turnover - Altogether (November 1, 2019) Album • Page 12

This attitude is so funny. I remember when PV first came out and they played nothing but that and pop punk bros were mad about it.

 

Really dig Valley of the Moon

 

I like PV but honestly yes 100%

 

I’m obsessed with this record now. It’s pulling me in!! At first I thought it was just okay but the bass and guitar lines are so infectious

 

Valley of the moon is the only song that doesn’t do much for me. Everything else is great.

 

I love Valley of the Moon so much, I realize there's not much goin on there but it just makes me wanna sip on a drink and float away lol

 

I reckon they were listening to a lot of Sade when they made this record

 

That is aggressive

 

Not totally digging this so far, which is a bummer after absolutely loving PV or GN. the opener is incredible and the closer is pretty cool but nothing else draws me in too much. Will have to keep listening

 

I do enjoy this album. I’ve listened to it twice through and I love the first half but I feel like it loses momentum around the half way point.

 

Or?

 

It took a few listens for it to click with me honestly

 

I think the first half is stronger as well.

 

I can confirm this is a perfect Sunday morning coffee album

 

I like this way more now, still think the 2nd half slows down a bit too much

 

For me that’s a nice change of pace and then plant sugar picks it back up!

 

I feel like they could have moved something like Number on the Gate to offset it a bit for me, but yeah Plant Sugar does a decent job.

 

Plant Sugar was my least favourite of the pre-release tracks but I love it in the context of the album

 

I feel the same way but with Number on the Gate

 

Number on the gate is the sole song of the first half of album I don’t like

 

I haven't found this record to be very special out of a few select moments, especially compared to the other highs in their discog, but I can't believe some of the hot takes in the p4k review that just came out.

 

Yeah, saying that Good Nature was a huge step up and that this is a step back is a weird take. They also don’t like the trumpet/saxophone parts, which are some of my favorite parts here.

 

Yeah, the comments on the horns completely threw me, those are far and away the best parts of the record. And Temporary Love.

 

Kind of read like the reviewer didn't like whatever comment they made in an interview about "making it accessible" or whatever, but I mean whatever I don't care because I love it

 

This album is making me appreciate Good Nature a lot more.
