I bought a physical copy in Target this morning and danced in the shorts aisle.

I wanted to buy this on vinyl but it's currently $40 at my local store. It's a great album and everything but that price is crazy, even when it's clear vinyl.

Giving this a shot, nice to have something the splits the difference between Phoenix and Maroon 5. Bummed that "Please Be Naked" doesn't sound at all like "The Big Ship," imo - more like one of those Phoenix instrumentals - but "Change of Heart" sure sounds like "Crazy for You."
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 March 2016 20:19 (nine years ago)
phoenix? huh. have they been mentioned in this thread before lol
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 5 March 2016 21:06 (nine years ago)
I've waited many years for Phoenix to get interesting.

xpost Have they? I haven't read the whole thread, was just curious. Younger daughter (age 8) btw immediately asked if it was the same band that did "Sugar."
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 March 2016 21:16 (nine years ago)
oh joshpaws

xpost oh hahaha there's actually a post somewhere upthread where someone lists every band that we've compared them to in this thread, it's a pretty staggering range
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 5 March 2016 21:21 (nine years ago)
That's funny. That might be why it's so much fun, something for everyone. A band like Maroon 5, I'm not sure they bring anything to mind. Maybe suicide.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 March 2016 21:38 (nine years ago)
lol slocki compared them to maroon 5 also
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Saturday, 5 March 2016 23:44 (nine years ago)
I feel like they mitigate their latent Maroon 5-ness.
― Hey (Extended Mix), Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:01 (nine years ago)
true heirs to maroon 5 is a worthy title imo
― flopson, Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:02 (nine years ago)
I compared them to Adam & the Marooned too.

If this album wins the EOY poll it's gonna break ILM like Trump and the GOP.
― Tim F, Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:26 (nine years ago)
i mean it's early but it'll almost certainly be my aoty
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:39 (nine years ago)
lol i don't think this has much hope of #1 in our EOY what with the KING album existing and a beyoncé album on the way
― art baengels (monotony), Sunday, 6 March 2016 00:41 (nine years ago)
this is easily one of the best albums i've heard in the last 5 years
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:24 (nine years ago)
Yeah, I think KING could probably overtake it. Also Blackstar as well.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:29 (nine years ago)
Or maybe it will just go to HAIM again.
― MarkoP, Sunday, 6 March 2016 04:33 (nine years ago)
I love the king album but this gets the edge over the king album to me
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Sunday, 6 March 2016 05:01 (nine years ago)
KING is Marco Rubio. Beyonce is Jeb Bush. Haim is Ted Cruz.
― Tim F, Sunday, 6 March 2016 10:55 (nine years ago)
delet this
― r|t|c, Sunday, 6 March 2016 11:04 (nine years ago)
This is a great album in the best sense. I tried cherrypicking some songs for a playlist to prune the length and that didn't work at all, it's been really thought through and you need it all for the full experience.
― Leonard Pine, Sunday, 6 March 2016 13:29 (nine years ago)
I've been persuaded, slightly against my better judgment, to go to another show in Manchester next week by their publicist.

"The Sound" is top ten on the rock songs chart but still nowhere to be found in the hot 100 (U.S.).
― timellison, Thursday, 10 March 2016 08:30 (nine years ago)
it's #3 on the bubbling under chart this week

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:11 (nine years ago)
surprisingly, this is well good yeah
― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:20 (nine years ago)
approx. 3500x better than album 1
album 1 did not have an ambient mariachi interlude called 'please be naked' for one
― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:21 (nine years ago)
*waits patiently for lj to get to the title track*
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:31 (nine years ago)
yeah that was great! gf all 'this is their pinkshinyultrablast song' haha
― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 12:48 (nine years ago)
ok that was great. maybe the most ambitious boy-band album ever?
― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 13:09 (nine years ago)
b4 u gooooo
― uberweiss, Friday, 11 March 2016 13:57 (nine years ago)
what makes them a boy band?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 March 2016 13:57 (nine years ago)
They have too many young female fans, obviously.
