people are fucking raving about this album, I can't wait to hear. One of the few albums I'm excited for in '08.

loving it.

like I said in mp3x, a lot more immediate than Cookie Mountain. Funkier and not as morose.

can't bloody wait to hear this album, seeing them live for the first time next month as well. one of my favourite bands of recent times. really liked the first disco-esque single off of this.

I just came across this - TV On The Radio covering Pere Ubu with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Trent Reznor:

Barknee - where are you seeing them? At that Shoreditch festival? I want to see them, but I don't really want to go to that (ie my bird won't let me).

Saw them Koko last year and they were really good.

yeah but they have talent. I got no beef with non-minstrels and non-milleniums.

thread took a swift upturn with linkage.

Snuggles the DESTROYER · Sun Sep 21, 2008 10:53 pm

So this album has grown on me a lot. "Family Tree" is amazing.

I feel it is a great album, better than Bloc Party, better than Portishead even.

Album is excellent.

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:05 pm

I don't know about excellent. It's good and I've listened to it 4 times in a row at work today. Maybe it's not grabbing me like their last album. Their great stuff was REALLY great. Sometimes its just ehh.

I'm still not too crazy about these guys,
but I'll give this new album a few more listens

barknee · Post by **barknee** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:41 am

been listening to this on a constant loop since i got it on monday. fantastic album, fantastic band - still kicking myself for only getting into them last year :lastweek:

Whatever, this shits on point...Easier to listen to then Cookie Mountain...

The Iron Sheik · Post by **The Iron Sheik** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 3:26 pm

with each successive listen, it's gotten better

it's risen to my top three of the year, along with the new of montreal and the bug album

Yeah? Couldn't get into that Bug album at all.

This TV on the Radio album is dope. Just got tickets to see them - thankfully they announced more shows outside of that festival.

I just don't get these guys. The production is nice but I find the songwriting lacking in personality.

wizeguy · Post by **wizeguy** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:40 pm

Pretty boring album, and I'm a big fan of everything they've done up to this point.

saw them play earlier this month, it's a great show, they make certain songs even better live, it's a great dance vibe and they seem really nice. show had a sense of "specialness"

DLZ is a great song.
