Noah Gundersen - White Noise (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 16

Heavy Metals is next level

 

So now I love every song except Sweet Talker and New Religion, those are still growing on me, as is the second half of CS & A. Wake Me Up, I'm Dreaming is still fucking earth-shattering and Send the Rain is just perfect

 

I tried!

 

I legit like every single song on White Noise.

 

This is a really great album. Vinyl has been spinning all day, worked from home today and it's been rad.

 

so does anyone have the scoop on the god don't talk to strangers/ lady of the ocean, california/ all your love 7' releases? seem to be temporarily out of stock/ sold out in the places i see

 

bummed I won't be in town when he comes through. hopefully he plays some shows in the spring, I need to see these songs in a live setting.

 

Really wondering what the set list is gonna look like. I'm excited to see the full band because despite seeing him 4 times, I never have.. but.. if there isn't a solo Noah portion I'll be disappointed.

 

First listen now!!!!!

 

I've really come around to the songs I wasn't feeling at first.

 

Which ones weren't immediate for you?

 

Sure is!

 

#1 hit, New Religion, and Wake Me Up

Still don't care for Bad Actors

 

I think we still got at least one solo song last year on the full band tour.

 

In an interview I watched he mentioned about having recorded something like 24 songs for this album. Hope there's a deluxe version for this release in the not to distant future.

 

Interesting that he recorded that many. It makes “Bad Actors” making the cut all the more worse. Otherwise a lovely album.

 

Bad actors is good

 

Skip it every time. That and Sweet Talker. Just not a fan of those songs, which sucks because then I feel like I'm missing such a big part of the record. I might come around to bad actors one day, but I don't think I will on Sweet Talker.

 

I kinda like Bad Actors now. Still haven’t come around on New Religion.

 

I really came around on New Religion. I LIKE Sweet Talker but I'm not in love with it.

Heavy Metals might be my favorite song from anyone this year though..

 

After spending the week with this, I think this is his most consistently good and diverse record to date. Fear & Loathing is the only song I'd really omit. It's very bland and the lyrics are especially boring. Maybe Bad Actors as well. Heavy Metals, Sweet Talker, Send The Rain, and After All are the shining moments for me.

 

damn now this is a spicy take

 

Yeah I did a quick take through the thread and I see most people love Fear & Loathing. But I think it's mostly just I don't do the whole singer-songwriter feel as much. Like, I enjoy Ledges but it's my least favorite sound of his which Fear & Loathing feels like an extension of, until the ending of course (which also felt unearned to me).

 

At this point New Religion might be one of my favorites

 

Ahhh.. That's fair and makes a whole lot of sense.
