Now, Now - Saved (May 18, 2018) Album • Page 32

I’m so excited to see these songs live. “Can’t Help Myself” was so cool on Parahoy. They were doing a reimagined version of “Separate Rooms,” so I’m interested to see if they do that for more old songs!

 

Since itunes lists albums alphabetically and not by date, it has Saved before Threads so when P0WDER finished playing it automatically went straight into The Pull and it actually follows on really well. It goes from that atmospheric echoey noise at the end of P0WDER fading out and then the one at the start of Threads fades back in from the silence. It's clearly an intentional concept album reverse connection of 6 years in the making!

 

Drive is a perfect song

 

But I could say that about a lot of songs on here

 

The more I listened to it the more he melodies and lyrics reveal themselves to me. A ton of great stuff here

 

Every once in awhile an album comes along that my wife and I equally love. This is one of those albums. It's on the second play through as we do our Saturday morning cleaning :)

 

Each time I listen, a different song grows on me. Truly a great album. Ive had it on non-stop since yesterday

 

Yaaaaaaasssssss.

I want everyone to love this album.

 

Holy Water is the only one I'm not too crazy about it, it kinda just plods along for me. But wow am I loving this. Idk why but I had it in my head that we probably already heard the best tracks due to how strong the singles were, but the title track and Can't Help Myself are as good as anything else on here.

I'm in Italy for two weeks for work and I think I'll drive around Tuscany tomorrow blasting this with the windows down. Be jealous.

 

holy water takes a little bit to really kick in but once it does around the 2:30 mark i feel completely submerged in...... holy water

 

Brad really kills it in the percussion department on the title track.

 

ive listened through this album probably 10-15 times so far, several in the car......i dont know what more to say other than im really glad this band is back and they put out an album like this. threads came out during a really bad break up and was exactly what i needed and now this has come out while im deep in the most fulfilling and loving relationship ive ever known, idk how they keep releasing exactly what i need when i need it.

 

co-signed by the other best scene synth pop band

Seriously though Brad’s production is perfect on this.

 

the fact he did it alone is ridiculously impressive. this thing sounds big budget.

 

What's up with the vinyl preorders

 

How do you mean? Mine arrived a day early, in the UK. Would've assumed they'd all be shipped by now?

 

Mine hasn't arrived yet and I haven't received a shipping notification. I don't particularly care but yeah.

 

Haven't gotten or heard anything about mine in the states.

Other Yank preorderers: what say ye? Am I alone in my longing?

 

Ah. I guess at the latest you'd get it Monday. Assume because they were here in the UK touring around the time of release, and with it on sale at each gig, it'd be way more certain that we'd get it in a more timely manner.

 

Haven’t gotten mine or notification either.

 

KC’s little “come on” in the second verse of Powder might be my favorite tiny moment on the album

 

Some threads songs came on my Spotify shuffle the other day and they were okay but this record was immediate to me

 

I've been listening to all three albums in full, chorologically, all day for the past few weeks. It's become a little ridiculous. Even the Every Children EPs. Cars will always be my favourite, but I feel as though each of these albums represents a very different and often lonely time in my life. I have such a strong connection with them. Been so exciting getting to finally discuss the new material, and my god does it make me smile seeing the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Saved.
