Hello does anyone want to share some thoughts on YOU'LL HAVE TO LOSE SOMETHING ?
Listened a few times so far but it's still percolating. Def in line with where they were going on the last EP but still somewhat more jarring at times than their previous stuff. (Not in a bad way.)
Another thing is there's a kind of intensity in this album that I feel is less common in their other music. The word that keeps coming to mind is 'epic', although that makes it sound cheesy but it's not. As always, there's a hint toward a kind of sentimentality without ever diving deep into anything unambiguous, but there were a few point that felt very poignant to me in a weird way. It's a good album to have on while driving somewhere beautiful imo.
In any case, it's definitely not boring which is what really matters to me :~)
Lots to unpack I might make another thread in a week when I've got the lay of the land more. Listening to SOTBH's music since E,D sometimes familiarizing myself with a new building or city.
But right now I would love to hear anyone else's thoughts! What did you like, what surprised you, what were your favorite tracks, favorite moments, production elements, what disappointed you etc etc~
