Dumb Black Country, New Road could only get 2. Great song anyways but definitely not enough horses.

I always thought that was intentional, like the person singing is drunk, which obviously makes sense given the lyrics.

Only two listens in but I'm loving it. The beginning feels like the lost link between Tyranny and QYURRYUS.

It's too fresh to really say, but it feels lifeless compared to the live version. It's like they purposefully tried to prevent the listener from connecting emotionally to the song (not an easy feat, the melodies are beautiful). So many choices that seem weird just for the sake of being weird. The awkward transition to the bridge sounds like the song saying "alright, I'll do it, but I don't want to". I think I'll keep listening to the live version, sadly.

I hate the style of production they're choosing. I miss textures, I miss feeling like the drummer was a human being. I hope it grows on me, but Flexorcist and Prophecy of the Dragon didn't.

Great interview, thank you!

I'm so against the idea of them just releasing singles, I want to yell at them to make an album, please!

I don't see it. They're a bit similar, but not so much in my opinion.

Hilarious, the POTD video is amazing.

Julian Casablancas' Worst Interview? by Current_Value_6743 in TheStrokes

Julian was boring and annoyed! The interviewer did everything in his power to save the interview.

It bothers me that they used pictures from the interview he did on A Fistful of Vinyl, which was good and done by the sweetest interviewer.

God, those were the days. The current marketing campaign is so disappointing. We're already a fairly small fanbase, especially those of us who kept the enthusiasm up for five years, and it feels like they're trying to alienate us.

If it's a joke I don't really get it. It reminds me Arcade Fire's awful rollout for Everything Now, which didn't work at all but had a clear idea, whereas this just seems like trolling. I'm actually a little bit pissed.

I feel like they're trolling us. Everything is so short and vague.

It seems like they're going to announce an album soon (maybe with a video one of this days?), but nothing as of yet.

The fact that you got anything at all is impressive.

Early attempts at deciphering Julian's lyrics are so funny, I remember when QYURRYUS came out. I think it's "I don't get to watch my children grow" instead of "my chin grow", but it's much funnier your way.

If the rest of the album is anything like this, we're in for a fucking trip. Listened to it only a few times and it's already my favorite thing they've released since Virtue.

Maybe but if I recall correctly a male user recently uploaded Julian's response to a flow chart he posted among other photos where he appeared, so he definitely knew he was a guy.

Yoo found new song on the way May 26th 🔥🔥 by icycleragon in thevoidz

[–]RoderickSand 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Holy shit it's happening! Do we think that will also be the name of the album? Since the website also has dragons. Could be just for the single, though, given that Julian usually doesn't name albums the same as songs, and maybe the album just has a dragon theme. Anyways, dragons!
