KING - 'We Are King' Album Poll

unpossible

feeling "red eye" rn

I know the top three are likely to be the three from the first EP but damn, everything they added to their rep to make a full LP is just ... so good.

'native land' has made me weep so that one

In The Meantime, Native Land, and gold old Hey are the ones I return to the most.

Also love Carry On and Mister Chameleon and all the other songs

Trying to decide between Hey and Native Land.

It’s gonna be either Carry On or Native Land for me — leaning towards the latter

Love these ladiez

can’t go past “hey (extended mix)”

“oh please” or “love song” would be runners up

hi

For me, it's "The Greatest" vs. "Love Song"

They saved the best for the last, Native Land it is.

Tuomas otm. "Native Land" it is.

also probably 'native land, but this is an impossible task.

Hey or Native Land. Probably the former but I'm going to luxuriate in deciding.

mirroring the general sentiments here in that it's between 'hey' and 'native land.'

voting 'hey', but it's actually a tie.

I'm looking over the tracklist and drooling

went with The Greatest

love them all but "Native Land" is on another level

I do really like this album as a whole, but still didn't hesitate in voting for The Greatest

holy hell the guitar in "Oh Please!"

I'm falling in love again w/my favorite album of 2016.

I just listened to this a couple of weeks ago and it really is astonishing how perfect this whole record is. Wonder if we'll ever get a follow-up?

Love seeing that you guys still play & thrilled you hear our love of gaming in our music😊 #moogfest2017 I gave a workshop on how the classic consoles influenced the soundscape of the ‘We Are KING’ album. We approached each song like a level in one of the classic games (+) pic.twitter.com/IxQL4lyiPb

also said they're working on a new album, hopefully it'll be out this year then

i think "oh please" just beats out "hey"

I had to go with "In the Meantime", my entry point, which I listened to hundreds of time before the album came out. I also really love "The Right One", "The Greatest", "Red Eye", and "Native Land" (which is probably my next choice).

went with the bravest famous maven in my prime

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

carry on

While I'll be sad if "The Greatest" doesn't get any votes, it has to be "Love Story" for me at this point in my life.

("Love Song," I meant.)

didn't see any mentions of mister chameleon, so that was my vote. prob not my actual favorite, but it was my gateway into their wonderful world, so im comfortable with the choice.

More votes please.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I was the other Love Song voter!

Wish “The Right One” could’ve gotten a vote too. Fantastic opener.

Love Song wasn't my vote but that opening line in it ("Not far / not far from here")... oh man it just stirs up so much emotion in me. I

wanna thank ILX for introducing me to this album via the collective freakout on some thread I can't find right now. I don't know shit about R&B but this album is special. there's like this magic to it, idk how else to describe it. What's Going On has it, a lot of Stevie stuff has it, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" has it, this whole album has it. it's like...slightly unreal. the songs don't even feel like real songs. its more like they're just morphing around. like that ending crystalline part on "Hey". who does stuff like that? a lot of "wait does anyone else hear this" bits but then I remember the 500 post thread elsewhere. even the cover is super cool. very graphic design is my passion vibe to it until you really look and see how pretty it is.

welp time to go listen to some Van Der Graaf Generator

I don't know shit about R&B but this album is special.

the mark of a truly classic piece of work.

My favorite album of 2016.

Guess what? Still is.

catch a red eye! catch a reeeeehhehed eyyyye

Beautiful album, and so out of time, felt like it's own world when it was released and still does.

"limpid" is a word I seldom use, to paraphrase John Prine.
