Haim - Something To Tell You (July 7, 2017) Album • Page 14

But it's goooooooddddd. The build up is so fun

 

For me this is just a lesser version of the debut which leaves me little to no reason to revisit it when I could just listen to what is pretty much just a superior version. Not inherently bad but also not the growth I hoped to hear. Fingers crossed that the next one changes it up.

 

"Right Now" and "Found It in Silence" are two of the worst offenders!

 

I don’t really hear this album as a lesser retread. I think they tried a fair amount of stuff, some landed and some felt a little
half-baked. Nothing’s Wrong, You Never Knew, and Walking Away are all great off the top of my head

 

yeah i agree with the first half being super fucking good and the rest being pretty good.

 

"Nothing's Wrong" is the only one I think is a "good" song.

 

I might hate it

 

Wow.

 

I remember that Hyden really nailed my problem with this album: "The nagging feeling that early singles like “Right Now” and “Want You Back” were trying extra hard and still not cutting it pervades the album, which is loaded with choruses that don’t stick and yet are endlessly repeated like dull, uninspired campaign slogans."

 

I think one of the big mistakes they made was releasing that PTA live version of "Right Now" and not putting it on the album because that's so much better than the album version.

 

Their set is about to be live streamed at Pitchfork Fest

 

That was great

 

Yeah they all killed it. Right Now is perfect live

 

one of my favorite things about them is that they're the type of band to unironically cover the Dawson's Creek theme

 

Paula Cole is great tbh, no need for irony.

 

Tomorrow

 

What time of day is this track droppin'

 

Assuming in the afternoon

 

I think like, an hour or so from now

 

Will be shown live here

 

Already love the screencap, I hope this is a huge summer jam, I need a good summer jam!

 

Already up on Apple Music for me

 

This is really nice! I expected it to be a big pop song based on title alone but it’s really subdued. My favorite thing from them since the debut.

 

A nice little ditty
