Preoccupations

For those who've heard this, what do you think?

I've missed most of the discussion, and I find this album really growing on me. Memory really pisses me off though because it gets really good then ends in a pointless drone.

I'm a big fan. Agreed re: Memory and that seems to be the consensus. 4-7 mins of that track is godly though.

>4-7 mins of that track is godly though.
Yeah that's exactly the bit I'm talking about. uggh why couldn't they have just made that bit go longer.

Also fever is pretty dope.

tracks 1-5 as a whole are near-perfect if not for the outro too. very frustrating.

Yeah I mean most of the album is damn near perfect, though I'm not sure if it will age well. Probably more accessible than Viet Cong.

Some really good tracks, some pointless ones that can only be described as filler, specifically those two 1 minute tracks (Sense and Forbidden) and that pointless ambient outro to Memory

i agree, fever is probably in their top five tracks, but i'd say their overall sound was better when they were just aping deceit


christ their vocals are so generic

Zodiac is truly the standout, Anxiety is a good opening, but as whole, the "LP" doesn't seem to be like it. But well, Viet Cong s/t also left that impression to me, so maybe it's their style?

Anyway I can agree that those two short tracks are not by means necessary.
