 Body Paint is very « UK » (in a good way)

very curious about this new album.

[Deadly Nightshade 12,851]

Liked this song even more than the last one. I got so excited when he started playing the guitar

I'll need to warm up to body paint, but I don't think it's a bad song. There'd better be a mirrorball sounds so lush to me, I'm loving it. I'm sure I'll like body paint the more I listen to it too, I think it would sound pretty cool performed live on stage.

[Ultra Violet 18,977]

I might like Body Paint just a bit more than TBBAMB because it picks up more, but havent given either more than a few listens. 

I still listen to several old songs almost daily (mostly Stop The World  Snap Out Of It and I Want It All- the ones i will never skip).

 

Btw, does anyone also associate their music with The Black Keys and Miles Kane/The Last Shadow Puppets? I kinda always see these three as a very particular vibe in my head, especially The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys, i guess bc of the Englishness. 

Anyways I kinda made this connection when i heard this.

I got a GA ticket for their EU tour! I was supposed to go together with my classmate but unfortunately, all the GA tickets got sold out before she could buy one... she got a seat instead. U___U

I listened to I ain’t quite where I think I am last night and it sounds so 70’s and groovy, I really liked it! I think I’m gonna like this album, the singles so far have been very promising.

Gonna listen to it now! I was going to last night but I forgot to and only remembered it when I was trying to fall asleep.

[Beautiful Loser 48,826]

Opening track: gorgeous, I like it a lot
Sculptures of anything goes: it really stands out among the rest
Mr Schwartz: I'm digging the bossa nova rhythm, wasn't expecting that

Overall a good album, but I'll have to listen again to get a better grasp of it and pay better attention to the lyrics.

[Deadly Nightshade 12,851]

I think that I like it more than the previous one. Sculptures of anything goes is a masterpiece that stands out the most along with Body Paint. I think that time will show hm I really like it though.

[Veinsineon 76,803]

Album was not good. Sculptures was cool.

These bitches just announced a Bilbao date which is like an hour away from where I'll be staying for 5/6 months starting from January but apparently the concert is in July ???? At that point I'll already have left Spain ???????? FUCK and 0 dates in Italy as well. Hate them 

[Deadly Nightshade 12,851]

this album feels a bit strange

i like some of the songs but at the same time i'm a bit annoyed with his singing style and the way that he is trying to fit so many words in a single sentence 

[Beautiful Loser 48,826]

I enjoy a couple of songs on the album, but then there are others I just can't seem to remember what they sound like at all. I'm a bit 50/50. I think I'll just stream the songs I like and buy the other records on my mental wish list.

Does anyone else feel like Sculptures is a message to their fans? Kinda feels like he's singing how unfair it is that people miss their old sound and want them to be something they're not anymore...?

Got two tickets to see them live in Rome with my best friend!! AM redemption arc

I keep replaying the new record while playing Minesweeper and despite listening to this album over and over the only ones still standing out to me are Mirrorball and Sculptures  I wish more of the album fell into the more lush or abrasive sound of those two songs the rest are just snoozefest!! I keep associating Mirrorball and Star Treatment with one another and idk if that's just because they're both the openers or because they're both the best songs on each album by a long shot  anyway I do adore Mirrorball it has such a unique end-of-the-party type vibe to it I live I sing it to myself all the time I wish Alex Turner Lana and FJM collabed on a seven minute jazz rock epic id cum shit and piss everywhere if it were true  I also have such a crush on Alex I was watching the Zane Lowe interview and just wanted to make out with my screen

[Deadly Nightshade 12,851]

Sculptures and body paint remain my most played songs 

I really like perfect sense as well 

Also I think that the whole album should have been in the vain of sculptures sound wise

I decided to listen to the new album expecting to hate it but I'm really loving it. The Car, Body Paint, Mr Schwartz and Mirrorball­­­ are my favorites on first listen
