The Dangerous Summer - Mother Nature (June 14, 2019) Album • Page 56

The last minute of Mother Nature is the best minute on the album.

 

the picture this painted for me gave me chills and i hope the same thing. to be fair, im gonna let this album dictate my summer too though.

 

didn't realize this leaked. not the biggest fan on first listen. underwhelmed.

 

...its out today.

 

On first listen right now and don't understand how anyone could possibly say this is underwhelming. This is the best first listen I've had in forever. Haven't connected with this band in a long time, but this is amazing

 

I wonder if the drop from Prologue/Blind Ambition is ever not going to give me chills.

 

I think I'm on my 50th listen and it still gets me.

 

Last night was nuts. I feel like they played more songs than what I've seen on previous setlists? We got War Paint, No One's Gonna Need You More (acoustic) and Starting Over/Slow Down. If you were on the fence about going, just do it.

 

Virginia has grown on me but still not a fan of how A.J. sounds in the chorus haha

 

I've had this for a week-ish now and while I do like it, it's been a slow grower. I really am not a fan of the way the drumkit sounds on songs like Way Down and Violent Red, but it sounds fine on other tracks. It is definitely some of the most ambitious songwriting of their career. So... a mixed reaction?

 

Obviously a fantastic album and the band should be really proud, but it hasn't really grabbed me. At least not yet.

 

Held out until release day and this does not disappoint, such a huge step up from S/T

 

They really did that on Better Light, huh?

 

Awesome to still be reading first reactions here

 

More like The Dangerous 1975

 

Bon “Dangerous” Iver

 

I feel like I'm missing something with this. It sounds like a lesser version of what they used to be. Less so than their last did but I'm not seeing greatness here.

 

AND GOD IT IS GLORIOUS

 

Speaking of peoples reactions setting me up for disappointment, Prologue -> Blind Ambition ain't one of em.

 

I feel badly for those not hearing how wonderful this album is. This record knocked me on my ass. Didn’t enjoy the previous two at all, and this one is head and shoulders above them.

Also doesn’t hurt that there’s a lot of 3EB influence, which I love.

 

Can confirm: still awesome on release day. Hope others find it their summer anthem too.

 

Unfortunately haven't really been able to get in to this. It's just okay.

 

I still love the fuck out of it so that’s how you know it’s good

 

First full listen. I'm glad I held out until today. This is a marked improvement on self-titled. Agreeing with everyone that this can be an album to define a summer.

Highlights for me include: Blind Ambition, Starting Over / Slow Down, It Is Real, Consequence of Living.

Definitely see what @Jason Tate is saying about this being their Direction. Need more listens for to evaluate its lasting impact, much like I had to for that album.

Overall just glad that an album like this can invigorate the Chorus.fm community for a passionate discussion, which was commonplace in the Absolutepunk days.

 

The leak sounds better to me than the version on Spotify (even at highest quality settings.) I still have to check out the vinyl, I've had it almost a week but just haven't had time.
