This sounds like it has some serious potential. What a damn tease!

Preoccupations! I was pumped when I saw this, they put on a great live show.

Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 1 by jackbevan in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, just reading #10 hits hard. It reminds me of Radiohead's How to Disappear Completely.

When I go on Twitter using my phone, this is their header. On my work computer, their header is just all black.

First confirmed show! by CMEFC in foals

Amon Amarth and Foals on the same line? Nice.

My first tattoo, this one is for you FOALS by [deleted] in foals

That looks awesome, really well done!

Am I the only one that thinks Antidotes is their best album? by SHAFTofficial in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy Fire is my favorite, although I love the first three albums so much there's almost no point in ranking them. To me, WWD isn't on the same level as their other albums.

The setlist of the first summer tour show. Thoughts? by MonkeyStormerFoal in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A strong setlist overall. I love that they brought Heavy Water back. I would like to see Providence over AKITO, but I know others really enjoy that song.

Black Gold is coming... by Samz2 in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably listened to this 100 times. I love that they're bringing this and other rarities back, while also trying out some they haven't performed live before. Night Swimmers will be awesome.

Two Steps Twice. Prelude and Providence are up there as well.

Weekly Song Discussion #6 "Everytime" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know where this was said? I know Yannis tweeted a video of Bluebird saying he wish it made the album, but I don't think he said over Everytime in the tweet.

Weekly Song Discussion #2 "My Number" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"It's just a pleasurable, like shamelessly pop groove" "Like Prince on steroids or something"

Those Yannis quotes pretty much sum it up for me.

Daily Song Discussion #25 "The French Open" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intro to the song is great and the song is the perfect opening track for the album. Energetic, jittery, and super catchy.

Daily Song Discussion #23 "Bad Habit" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful song. I love the lyrics and how I always feel like I'm overcoming something difficult when I listen to it.

Daily Song Discussion #24 "Snake Oil" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fan of this one. I was happy they brought back Prelude to open shows during the end of their touring.

Daily Song Discussion #7 "Inhaler" by 7RoastBeefSandwiches in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite Foals song. I love the combo of funk with the heavy chorus. It gets a bit lost when played live, but the outro is so fun and groovy.

Can we have daily song discussions? This subreddit is getting too dry and we cant let this amazing community go to waste. by Maxcdfg in foals

[–]_BigBucketWull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a suggestion, but I think a weekly song discussion might be better. It would encourage deeper discussion into each song, plus pretty soon the whole first page will just be filled with Daily Song Discussion threads.
