Late Of The Pier Album

Has anybody heard this yet?

Its a staggering achievement really - don't see how anything less than 9/10 could be justified

thoughts?



  • It ain't out yet though, is it?

    • its out in august

      i think. but you can get it from the usual illegitimate sources

  • i think this will be a great record...

    Bears, Gurgle, S&W were all ace.

    • and also, i imagine the album tracks will be

      really experimental, rather than filler

      • I've heard it

        got an advanced copy through work and it's pretty good. Need to give it a couple of more listens to fully appreciate it fully.

      • Fail.

        Boom tsh boom tsh boom tsh boom tsh repetitive motion for the majority.

        It's frustrating, because they are obviously capable of producing intricate, albeit coordinated havoc, however they seem creatively restrained and seemingly defeated - relinquishing to a sound relatable to an angered Cut Copy if they bumped into Midnight Juggernauts and found a haggered distortion pedal in a rusty bin.

        Singles are worthwhile and musically proficient, but a disappointing package overall. I wasn't enthralled by their material beforehand, though.

  • i laughed at the first note of this album

    i don't even know why

  • reminder to all:

    don't share leak links on here or i'll get all cross.

    • I've been

      lucky to have the finished record for a while now and it is really one of the most fully realised, daring and emphatic debut albums i've heard in a while. Glad to hear some other people are as excited about it all as me!

      • i can't decide

        whether i like this band or not.

    • eep

      yea sorry, my friend was posting and he didn't know the rules, apologies

      • It

        sounds good from what I'm hearing

        • I Really Cant Find This Anywhere

          And it makes me sad inside

  • It's early days

    But i really like it thus far. I think Random Firl is about a million times better than it used to be. Top marks.

  • i saw these guys live the other day

    they looked silly

  • 9/10 might be a tad strong.

    but its really good. the alkan synths get mucho hype.

  • still waiting to get a promo of this

    have high hopes for it.

  • Yes, 9/10

    Strong contender for my album of the year title

    Thought I'd be disappointed and if it was anyone but Erol producing then I think I would have been

    Also thought that 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' would be the weak point of the album but it's actually one of the best tracks

  • there is only

    3 tracks i havnt downloaded down the years so its already a 9/10 for me! Gotta be contender for album of the year for sure, what an excellent band they are

  • its really mad and progged out in places

    like at the end of 'heartbeat' its like a 13/16 time sig.
    'The enemy are the future' is like Talking Heads walking into a disco.
    crazzeeeee stuff
