On first listen, I was a bit turned off by how heavyhanded the references were in the album to older Pink Floyd songs, and I also wasn't in the mood for Roger's politics. My opinion started to change when I saw Roger's Us + Them show in Houston this past week. About five or six songs into his set, he launched into a small block of songs from this new album. Instantly, a solid quarter of the audience got up to get drinks and use the restroom. I was absolutely appalled by this. Yeah, I get that people are here to hear the classics and that these songs are inevitably not going to be up to par to those old albums, but this was obviously a work that Mr. Waters put a lot of heart and soul into, and I found the audience's behavior to be grossly disrespectful of a brilliant artist. This made me listen to the songs more intently, and to my pleasant surprise, I dug them quite a bit. Yes, Deja Vu sounds like Wish You Were Here, and the whole album starts with the same kind of heartbeat sound collage as Dark Side, but it's important to note that Mr. Waters is simply looking back at his youth and playing to his strengths. This album isn't supposed to supersede his previous works. No, it's more of an epic epiloque, a summary of everything that came before as he molds his old sounds to today's world. I thought that the Division Bell was a good way to cap Pink Floyd's catalog, with the Endless River just acting as an unnecessarily long and boring coda to the band's career. That's why, in a way, I hope this is Mr. Waters' last record. If it is, he sure will have gone out in style. "  [+]  Reply

To (possibly) give you an idea of what they sound like: 01) "when a fire starts to burn" sounds like a behaving death grips atop ibiza, 02) "latch" sounds like sharon jones atop an araabmuzik jam, and 03) "f for you", my fav track on the album, reminds me of a playful hot chip track. Those are the first 3 songs. It's spacey, club-minded and soulful...and a lot of fun."  [+]  Reply

I still don't know whether it's as good as, Yellow house, or, Veckatamist, but it's certainly different. Sounding less rustic and more polished than ever, Painted ruins, is a slow burner that has still yet to hit me completely. A totally intriguing album and still potentially their best record. Not yet though. "  [+]  Reply

When you compare albums then you will miss out on loving it. Now for the album, I love it all, maybe one or two tracks near the end not as much but there's plenty to love here I think. Psyche is possibly my favourite song, the singers voice is top quality and good to see Massive Attack purely using instruments which they hadn't done before for an album. They have a new album out this year apparently and looking forward to that as they are one of my very favourite artists. "  [+]  Reply

No doubt the message may take a few listens to permeate but when it does you really begin to understand just how important this album will be for years to come. The blend of psych and blues is a difficult task to perfect in this era, but in this album Kiwanuka at least makes it his own. Just like many other great albums of times past, I think this will be one that we look back on and appreciate the fearlessness to address topics of tense societal conflicts within the framework of cross-generational genres."  [+]  Reply

I never payed too much attention to this band, I knew that song with the Twilight vid + I guess I heard a couple of their most famous songs at one point or another, without really caring about them. Didn't seem like my thing at all. Still, after seeing that this album was highly regarded by a couple of users, I felt like I should give them a proper chance. And so I did. At first I just watched some of their vids on youtube (not just from this album), which gave me an idea of what the band was actually like and gave me some expectations of what I'll get from the album. A lot of them did turn out to be justified, but unexpectedly the album managed to positively surprise me throughout its length and ended up being something I never thought a Paramore album could be. I expected that the album would be filled with those poppy overly-anthemic choruses - see songs like Still Into You, Proof, Last Hope or Now for biggest offenders. But I did not expect that even these songs would manage to have enough going for them for me to still like them. I expected that the album, being more than an hour and 17 tracks long, would have its share of stinkers, but I did not expect that the number would be so low - I mean I could easily do without Daydreaming or Be Alone, but they hardly put a damper on the overall experience of the album. What I most certainly didn't expect is that even at this length the album doesn't drag at any point. Even more so - the album manages to be a varied but cohesive effort, more than justifying its length. Did I say varied? Well here's another thing I certainly didn't expect. I expected a more or less fun, but often generic and uninteresting pop punk album - having heard Riot! and Brand New Eyes afterwards, I'll say that those two albums were a lot more like that (I still liked BNE though). But this album takes their sound while drawing influences from all over the place. It's not just about slowing it down at some points and going more "aggressive" at others, there are songs here with influences from country (Hate to See You Break Your Heart), some gospel (Ain't it Fun) and even post-rock (Future). What's more - they do it really well! In general the production and the quality of instrumentation was another thing I didn't expect at all. Future in particular excells here, that transition after the third minute is just fantastic simultaneously going louder and more muffled before evolving into something any acclaimed post-rock band would be proud to have done. But there's little gems all the way through - from the fantastic drumming on Part II to the synth pop influenced ending to Grow Up, to that little guitar riff towards the end of Ain't It Fun, some Yeah Yeah Yeahs inspired guitar on a few tracks. There's a lot of that even on those tracks that I mentioned earlier which I think get a bit ruined by their choruses.. Fuck me, but those songs seem like such a wasted opportunity to me. Now features some of Hayley's best vocals on the album, from doing her best Karen O impression at one point, before showing off her big voice later on, not to mention the great guitar work throughout. Great guitar on Proof as well.. Lyrically I guess the album is what you'd expect, but even here the album manages to be cohesive and with a clear overall message - even after two core members left, Paramore is still here, moving on, leaving them behind, looking towards the future etc. In case you don't get it there's three interludes reiterating the point. Strangely enough I even loved them (or the idea of them). Certainly fit on the album. Oh well.. I guess another thing that I most certainly didn't expect is that I would still be regularly listening to this album over a week later. I think it's already easily in my top 5 of most listened to albums of 2013. But you know what, I have hopes for more. If those positives on the album are the result of the former rhythm guitarist Taylor York stepping up to songwriting duties, then I'll certainly keep an eye on what they do from now on. Track picks: Future, Grow Up, Anklebiters, Ain't it Fun, Fast in My Car."  [+]  Reply
