>Hum, Inlet

Bonus points if it’s also their final album (RIP Bryan St. Pere)

More bonus points if it’s an actual evolution of their sound

high expectations for this one next week

Adam Franklin is such a distinctive and inventive guitar player, crazy talented to be able to sing and play some of those parts at the same time live too

Avalanches - Wildflower

I don't know what it is but I never enjoy reunion albums. Failure, Hum and Pulp are 3 of my favourite bands and in every case the new stuff just sounds so miserable and dreary. I suspect it's something to do with the band mates getting older. I just don't enjoy the new stuff.

My favorite live version of Deep Seat with their good drummer from ‘98

My favorite live version of Deep Seat with their worst drummer from 2011 with much better audio and video

I like how they made even longer songs for a comeback, filtering out plebs

I actually agree with you really, with Hum being the only genuine exception. Inlet really landed with me for whatever reason despite (maybe because of) the darkness, maybe just the right time in my life getting older. New Failure was good but didn’t really stick, felt hollow. Maybe cause no more drugs were involved, lol

Although there was a dark undercurrent to Downward is Heavenward beneath the dreaminess (Ms Lazarus comes to mind), and with the Centaur stuff (I think I remember that Talbot lost a child?)

Psycho Circus = Destroyer 2.0
if you go into it without the baggage of foreknowledge hampering the experience then this is actually a decent listen

I like Jane's addiction last album

Hum's 90s stuff just has the comfiest vibes. It feels like comin' home listening to all those albums but also it just really captures that 90s vibe. All these albums were made in a time and a place and perhaps it's not possible to recreate that vibe.

>>127638781
Well said, and for me Inlet definitely captures a more foreboding contemporary vibe that fits with the times imo and it’s great they took a totally different direction

For some reason this makes me think of Godspeed’s stuff from that era like the Dead Flag Blues which is utterly bleak but from my perspective inconsistent with the vibe at that time but when revisited now seems perfectly matched to the general feel of the world today.. I didn’t listen to them then but I do now

>>127638898
Yeah it's just sad to me how much the world has changed for the worse. People young and old are so gloomy. It's weird to think a consequence of that music is very different. Even pop music is dreary.

>>127638998
Definitely feel you there

Still looking for something beautiful and hopeful musically to replace the gloomy stuff, which is cathartic but probably not healthy
