I’ve never treated PB as the holy grail, never been THAT interested, but I really like it, not underwhelmed at all, strong for being a demo, but Could have been is as good if not better, not to talk about Stick n Move
To me everything sounds better on the HT20 version with Chester. I remember hearing the other in august and thinking it sounded really bad and clunky. The Chester version is very rough and he sounds weird too but to me is a great improvement. Really from my personal point of view if it depended only on me this thread would not exist 😂😂 (no offence to Mark, he was crucial in forming Xero and is really good on stuff like Dialate)
“Then”, the new album by Jaime Bennington is out today on Spotify and Apple Music, it’s a mellow and chill record reminiscent of some David Bowie and even the softer tracks on the 2013 QOTSA album “...Like Clockwork”. It’s really nice to see another Bennington putting out music, especially considering he is brave enough to completely stray away from his father’s footsteps.
Give the album a spin!
TBH I really don't see why he should release physical copies of this. Releasing them independently would be a shot in the foot, and Warner would probably refuse to put out a project that would sell a few hundreds of copies... I mean, not to be disrespectful at all but I consider myself a hardcore fan (meaning that I don't only own the 7 studio albums but also some LPU CDs, all the live albums and remixes, OOA....) and despite not hating at all DF project, I wouldn't buy physical copies
Agree on this. It’s the only LP album that I’ve seen even non fans of the band (like some friends of mine) being like “not a fan of LP but ATS is good“.
It’s undeniably their most complex record and the most artsy they got, I hope that if they carry on as a 5 piece they go wild and create something similar in the future, not in style but in terms of “spirit”.
