Maybe my favorite part of the album

Somewhere a Judge is unbelievably good

 

yeah How Simple is definitely the one I find myself singing along to most, but probably because I've heard it more since it was the first track released. Not sure anything will ever top The Knock's "8:45am..." for me in terms of catchiness, but we'll see.

 

And when you finally go you go you go you go you go you go you

 

true, never has such an early time been able to get me so pumped and also relaxed. perfect songs

 

How You Got Your Limp is probably my least favorite. Though it's more accurate to say it's the only one I don't consider my favorite haha.

 

I agree. It's the only one that's not jumping at me in a big way. Everything else is next level though.

Hoping it grows on me!!!

 

I have no previous Hop Along experience but I put this on at work and enjoyed it so much I just let it repeat a second time

 

Okay yeah reading the lyrics along with this made me appreciate it so much more.

 

omg

 

Fantastic music video. Want cereal

 

I really need to give this a listen.....I've just been in full Cardi mode since Friday.

 

Okay yeah this grew on me a ton

 

This is starting to grow on me a bit more, and it's certainly not a competition, but I'm firmly in team Painted Shut at this juncture. There are a few bits that are continuing to jump out at me (certainly a lot of Look of Love) but I think Painted Shut has a lot more "holy shit" moments that combine the most powerful parts of Frances' voice with the instrumentation at large (such as the final chorus of The Knock, the last part of the second verse in I Saw My Twin).

I'm optimistic that repeated listens will bring out more of the highlights.

 

oh i prefer painted shut too but this record is so much its own thing that it feels weird to compare them

 

Totally agree. Very, very different.

 

Get Disowned will always be my favorite but I’ve loved everything they’ve done

 

Finally listening to this. "Somewhere a Judge" is one of the best songs I've heard all year.

 

I really enjoyed Painted Shut but I think I like this better already.

 

I've listened to this an unhealthy amount.

 

Absolutely loving the string arrangements. Like... wow

 

Prior Things is a perfect closer too. I really love this.

 

i guess the best way i could put it is that painted shut is a badass rock record with harrowing depths and bark your head off is more of a pastoral horizontal thing. the songs are landscapes not columns
