Premiered "The Craving" at their intimate London show

 

 

 Guys I'm in shook !  I found Clancy at my local record store earlier this day and I bought it immediately. 

L worded

 

Album out now!

Routines in The Night  

Routines In The Night is the best song on this, that song is an ear-worm and literally their best song in years. The singles are kinda the worst songs on this which is a nice surprise.  
I am starting to think they'll never recapture the magic of Vessel / Blurry / Trench which is a shame but there's more songs I like on this than on Icy so that's a good step forward. 
Routines in the Night, Vignette and Navigating are my faves on first listen. 

I'm sad this didn't click with me at all. I only liked Overcompensate, Next Semester and Navigating

 

Lavish is kinda giving Tame Impala

Hate to say the prerelease tracks are the best. Out of the new ones, the only ones I liked are Oldies Station, At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb, and, unironically, Lavish. Paladin Strait is not bad, though. That's 8/13, more than what I can say about my other faves' new releases 

Got the CD, love the design of the interior! I think my favorite from the tracks we didn't hear is Navigating 

Great album . 

Navigating is an absolute banger 

The Craving (single version) >>>>>

Still need a few more listens all the way through but I really enjoy this!

 

It’s quite different from what I expected so my first listen was a little jarring but even by the fourth play I’m starting to vibe with each track and love a few standouts. 
 

Jenna’s version is cute but The Craving single version kind of washes it with ease. I’m also begging them to make Routines a single. That could pop off this summer 

I am so sad. This is not doing anything for me :( 2024 is cursed!

first listen this album is really good, i'm going to need a bit more time with it though.

 

midwest indigo, navigating, oldies station, at the risk of feeling dumb and paladin strait are all highlights

Routines In The Night its a SMASH! I don't know why they don't push it like the 1st single :s

they mentioned in the livestream that josh had to convince tyler to keep this in the record (along with navigating) which is insane to me 

 

my current top 5 in no particular order

 

• navigating
• routines in the night
• at the risk of feeling dumb
• oldies station
• west indigo

I hate it here him. Like... These two absolute monstrous bops. 

 

Anyway, do we know what this is expected to debut with in the US? I read it could challenge a number 1 in the UK but haven't seen any predictions stateside.

Whaaat, they're like two of the best songs. 
Makes you wonder what other smashes Tyler left off the album. 

Compared to Scaled and Icy's 80k

solid numbers would've been #1 basically any other week

78 on MetaCritic (5 reviews)

 

This really is such a good album. Like a more polished version of Blurryface. The production is incredible. 

 

I always wonder with Tyler if he's being serious when he says anything so I think he may have been trolling when he said he didn't like Routines and Navigating, with them being the most pop sounding tracks (ones which the fanbase tends to reject for some reason). 

 

I do wonder if he's tired of pandering to fans who are obsessed with the lore which let's be honest has been dragged out long enough and needs to die. I've enjoyed the lore from a distance but never really engaged with the fanbase who obsess over it. 

 

I'm here for the music and it really is delivering on this album. Can't wait to see them live next year. 

All the music videos (Paladin Strait will come out early June & The Craving has 2 versions)
