Wolf Alice - Visions Of A Life (Sept. 29th, 2017) Album • Page 5

My vinyl shipped! :D

Also, I've only listened to the first two singles and nothing else. It's going to be great listening tomorrow with being almost totally in the dark.

Also also, @ragnarokstar, we're twinsies!

 

Just started my first run through of the album. Intro to Heavenward is

 

Planet Hunter

 

Version I was listening to earlier didn't have the title track so I'm listening to it for the first time now and... shit, yeah, this thing is a beast. Was slightly worried about them trying an eight-minute song but they definitely pulled it off. This album fucking rules.

 

This band is one of the best bands right now.

On my first listen now and having listened to the singles but sort of leaving them after a couple listens so I could take this whole thing in at once was a good move. Hearing "Yuk Foo" again gets me ragin' in the best way.

 

I'm loving Ellie's vocals on this - her singing moments hit new high clarity, her aggressive side is more powerful and her spoken word parts throughout are such a cool and unique addition. "Sky Musings" reminds me of Berlin-era Bowie with more industrial tinges, shoegaze elements and hint of The Streets. So great.

 

Title track really is such a beast.

 

Just started, SO happy to have a new album.

My two favorite debut bands from 2015 - Wolf Alice and Nothing But Thieves - with new albums in the same month. Living well!

 

Haven't heard Don't Delete The Kisses in a month or so... Fuck it's so good.

 

man this thing fucking rips


i always end up listening to Yuk Foo like three times before proceeding to the rest of the record

 

'Sky Musings' is easily one of favorite tracks of the year. Wow

 

According to my timehop, I was seeing Wolf Alice for the first time on their tour with Drenge two years ago today. What a coincidence!

Now we need a new Drenge album

 

This is awesome.

Closer is wild, and "Planet Hunter" is stunning.

 

Sky Musings is transcendent

 

You can read the lead riff in Bowie's "Heroes" between the lines on "Space & Time".

 

This is way better than I expected. Badass.

 

Closing/title track is fucking aweesomeeeeee

 

Man this is awesome. Definitely more consistent for me than the debut even if the highs don’t hit me quite as hard

 

Wolf Alice give a Track by Track breakdown of their new album, Visions of a Life: Stream/Download

 

The closer is just too cool

 

The opening of this record is as strong as anything else this year. Beautifully Unconventional is fantastic.

 

I really like the diversity they fit into an album, but I really hope that at some point in the future, they make an album centered around that dream pop sound ("Planet Hunter", "Blush", "Bros", etc) that they do so well.

 

"Beautifully Unconventional" is going to singlehandedly make rock music mainstream again isn't it

 

one track in but I can already tell I’m going to like this

 

like it so far. mad that I'm three songs in and have heard three wildly different sounds.
