Cymbals Eat Guitars - Pretty Years (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 16

Yeah they definitely get a good amount of love and respect but I'd love to see them hit Japandroids/Hold Steady levels of cult status

 

yeah but it's very culty, sort of like titus andronicus. band has sort of stagnated and even potentially lost some traction even as the critical world and their devoted fans still love them

 

That sucks because they seem to hit that same nerve center for me and I feel like I've seen multiple think pieces about the void Japandroids have left and I want to be like "Right here! This is good!"

 

Cant get over how good this bands discography is. Theyre like the best mix of Nirvana, Modest Mouse, and some Titus Andronicus. Just great indie rock with some aggression and some somberness.

 

I can't wait to have this on a streaming service tbh

 

I just want the lyrics because they always enhance my listening experience with this band

 

This is probably a top 5 album of the year for me. Pretty much listened non stop since it leaked.

 

They're up on Genius!

 

Oh dang, thanks!

 

not moving to a bigger label and moving to a novelty one seemed like an odd move for career traction

 

They've been on barsuk for years

 

This says they are no longer?
Cymbals Eat Guitars talk powerful new album ‘Pretty Years,’ working with Brand New & more ++ LP stream

 

yeah this record came out through sinderlyn, idk why

 

oh weird i thought this was still barsuk. my b.

 

fuck this band is so good

 

this cover fits the music v well

 

I keep listening to the NPR stream because I have no self-control. I can't wait to properly stream this tomorrow.

 

yup. got a whole section in my review about that.

has this grown on you yet or nah?

 

Somehow this is my first time listening to this band. I'm loving it so far.

 

8.0 on pitchfork

Good review

 

of BNM or a higher score? if it's the former, I agree

 

Shoulda been BNM, honestly all of their records should have been. But at least the review acknowledges that they're basically outside the indie zeitgeist now

 

Also thank god someone else other than Ian cohen reviewed this one finally
